Jimmy Kimmel reveals major Trump foe will take over his show during two-month break

The Independent entertainment

Key Points:

  • Jimmy Kimmel announced a two-month summer hiatus from his late-night show, with guest hosts including Tiffany Haddish, Colman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, Jelly Roll, and notably Rosie O'Donnell, a longtime critic of Donald Trump.
  • Kimmel joked that O'Donnell's presence would be a "special treat" for Trump and asked the former president not to "do anything stupid" during his absence, continuing the show's tradition of political satire.
  • Rosie O'Donnell's feud with Trump dates back to 2006 and intensified during the 2015 presidential campaign, with both frequently exchanging barbs on social media since then.
  • O'Donnell moved to Ireland in January due to concerns about Trump's return to the White House and avoided attending her daughter's graduation last year over security worries linked to her high-profile opposition to Trump.
  • Trump previously threatened to revoke O'Donnell's citizenship in a distorted social media post, to which she responded with a sarcastic comment referencing the TV show Succession.
