Kimmel is another near-dead singular view left-wing groupie show. Who
even watches terrible shows like this?
The 2024 presidential election is over, and late-night hosts are here to
sort through the aftermath.
After former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala
Harris to become the 47th president of the United States, the comedians
tried to comfort viewers on their shows Wednesday night while sharing disappointment in the Republican nominee's victory. They also stressed
their commitment to continuing to provide laughter during what they characterized as a bleak time for America.
Jimmy Kimmel, who has frequently traded barbs with Trump on social
media, opened his show with a sketch where he is seen frantically
packing in his office.
"I'm leaving the country," he announces. "I can't stay for another four
years of this. Who knows what he's going to do? … He said he has a list
of enemies. You think I'm not on that list?"
After his sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, convinced him to stay in the
segment (before declaring he's leaving to go "back to Mexico"), Kimmel
began his monologue by joking about the fact that Trump won the election
after falsely claiming he lost in 2020 due to widespread voter fraud.

"I guess this election wasn't rigged," he said. "That's weird though,
right? I mean, he said it would be rigged. He said it was being rigged
while people were in line voting! Isn't it remarkable that this time,
the fix wasn't in? Last time, the Democrats cheated. This time, we chose
not to, I guess."
Comparing Trump to Emperor Palpatine from the "Star Wars" series, who
returned from apparent death in "The Rise of Skywalker," the comedian
quipped, "Donald Trump is like the emperor from 'Star Wars.' He's old,
he's evil and he keeps coming back with no reasonable explanation
whatsoever."
Kimmel told viewers his "kids were very upset" by Trump's win, and he
got choked up while describing Tuesday as a "terrible night."
Kimmel shouldn't have kids. It's mental cruelty.
