Jimmy Kimmel called out Donald Trump on the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, Feb. 2<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Earlier that day, Trump was discussing a joke Trevor Noah made about him at the 86th annual Grammy Awards when he noted that Noah was still “not as bad as Jimmy Kimmel”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
In his opening monologue, Kimmel joked, \u201cBoy, I really got up his a–“<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> is once again at the center of President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s criticism.<\/p>\n The late-night host, 58, began the Monday, Feb. 2 episode of <\/a>Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> by poking fun at Trump, 79, for bringing him into a discussion<\/a> about Trevor Noah<\/a> recently hosting the Grammy Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n Earlier that day, Trump was asked if he would consider suing Noah, 41, for a joke he made at the annual ceremony in relation to the Song of the Year award: \u201cThat is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense, I mean, because Epstein\u2019s island is gone. He needs a new one to hang out on with Bill Clinton.”<\/p>\n Referring to Trump as \u201cPresident Dementia,\u201d Kimmel joked that the politician \u201cgot back to the issues that matter most to the American people\u201d before the clip of Trump\u2019s comments played.<\/p>\n \u201c[Noah] said that I spent time on Jeffrey Epstein’s Island. I didn’t. I mean, he’s a lightweight, this guy. I think he’s terrible,\u201d Trump told reporters. \u201cI thought he did a terrible job at the Grammys. I thought the whole Grammys was terrible. I watched part of it. It’s not watchable, but he was a lousy host. I’d say not as bad as Jimmy Kimmel, but pretty close.\u201d<\/p>\n The cameras then cut back to Kimmel, who declared, \u201cHow did I get in there? I was at home last night, minding my own business.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel further noted that Trump also mentioned him in a Truth Social post after the event, in which he said Noah \u201cis almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Rating Academy Awards.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBoy, I really got up his a–,\u201d Kimmel laughed. \u201cDonald Trump somehow has time to watch every award show and hates them all. He doesn’t like any of them. No one I know watches more award shows than Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n Michael Kovac\/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty; Nathan Posner\/Anadolu via Getty<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the post, Trump threatened legal action against Noah: \u201cIt looks like I\u2019ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$,\u201d he wrote, later adding, \u201cGet ready Noah, I\u2019m going to have some fun with you!\u201d<\/p>\n On the topic of his hosting abilities, Kimmel, who has hosted the Oscars four times \u2014 including in 2024<\/a> when the event broke viewership records \u2014 teased that he\u2019d take on the gig again under one circumstance.<\/p>\n \u201cMark my words right now: if Melania gets nominated for an Oscar, I will host that show whether they ask me to or not,\u201d he said of first lady Melania Trump<\/a>\u2019s new documentary<\/a>. \u201cI will insist on it!\u201d<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Jimmy](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20646b4f31b751a0ec3d5b55fa4fc4fd.jpeg\"\/)
