Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back
Jimmy Kimmel taunted Donald Trump with a cheeky message as he was joined by Stephen Colbert on his ABC show.
Kimmel, 57, took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes picture from the taping of his show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House in New York City. In the snap, he was joined by Colbert and fellow late-night host Seth Meyers.
“Hi Donald!” Kimmel captioned the post. In the picture, the three men smiled as they stood with their backs to the packed-out audience. During the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host poked fun at the president, including his fitness regime.

“Best caption ever. I’m sure you’ll have a ton of great content from today,” another person praised a third fan added, “LEGENDS BEING LEGENDARY.”
Another person described the TV hosts as the “heroes we need.” Someone else commented, “Lololol “hi donald”,” as a fifth person shared, “I adore you gentlemen.”
During the first night of Kimmel’s Brooklyn shows, the host attacked Trump’s decision to release the records around Amelia Earhart’s disappearance. The president made an order to his administration to release the files last month, writing on Truth Social, “I have been asked by many people about the life and times of Amelia Earhart, such an interesting story.”
He continued, “Amelia made it almost three-quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions.”

Trump concluded, “I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Kimmel spoke about the president’s comments during his opening monologue, joking, “The president has been hard at work coming up with all sorts of nonsense to distract us from the Epstein files.” He added, “Unless her final flight was to [Jeffrey] Epstein’s island, no one cares. At least he made it to the E’s in the files. That’s progress.”
Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in the Epstein case. He has not been accused of any crimes, nor has he been identified as the subject of any investigation.
Elsewhere in the show, Kimmel opened up about where he was when he heard Colbert’s show had been canceled. Kimmel said he was at a No Kings protest with his wife and children, before Colbert cut in, “It’s their ball, they can take it home if they want it.”
