\u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a>\u201d guest host Diego Luna<\/a> laughed off Fox News<\/a> anchor Laura Ingraham<\/a> Thursday after the Mexican actor\u2019s impassioned defense Monday of undocumented workers<\/a> appeared to set off the conservative news host.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t do this for the recognition or the money,\u201d Luna said Thursday<\/a>. \u201cBecause there\u2019s nothing. But there has been such an outpouring of support over the past few days. And last night… I got the highest honor a late-night host can receive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luna went on to play a clip of Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo<\/a> complaining Wednesday about Luna\u2019s Monday monologue and asking, \u201cWhen did the comedy and entertainment shows, Laura, become an excuse for boorish political commentary?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh no,\u201d Ingraham replied, before appearing to read from a prompter: \u201cActor Diego Luna, guest host of \u2014 I don\u2019t know who that is \u2014 guest hosted for Jimmy Kimmel. I don\u2019t watch, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever watched a Jimmy Kimmel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conservative pundits went on to play a portion of Luna\u2019s monologue from Monday, in which he noted that<\/a> many undocumented workers \u201cpay a lot of taxes,\u201d prompting Arroyo to wonder if Luna was \u201cspeaking from experience\u201d before asking, \u201cWhy do we care?\u201d<\/p>\n

Luna is the face of Disney\u2019s \u201cStar Wars<\/a>\u201d series \u201cAndor,\u201d which has earned eight Emmy nods<\/a> and is a spin-off of 2016\u2019s \u201cRogue One<\/a>\u201d \u2014 which stars Luna and grossed over $1 billion worldwide<\/a>. Ingraham said, \u201cI don\u2019t even know who he is,\u201d prompting Arroyo to inform her.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, OK, sorry I missed that,\u201d Ingraham replied sarcastically in the clip.<\/p>\n

\"LunaLuna appeared to ruffle some conservative feathers during his week-long stint as guest host.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, thank you,\u201d said Luna over applause and laughter as the clip concluded. \u201cBy the way, Jimmy, that\u2019s my gift to you. Yeah, whatever name this woman has, I got her to finally watch your show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luna didn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a dream last night that this was a Mexican talk show, with Latin music and delicious food,\u201d he said. \u201cThen I woke up and remembered, \u2018Oh yeah, I\u2019m the host, I can do whatever the fuck I want.\u2019 So tonight our band, Cleto y los Cletones, they have gone full mariachi.\u201d<\/p>\n

The camera then revealed Kimmel\u2019s house band, Cleto and the Cletones, in full mariachi regalia, as Luna announced that he invited local restaurant owners Eduardo Ruiz and Alberto Ba\u00f1uelos \u2014 who run the Mexican eatery Burritos La Palma<\/a> \u2014 \u201cto feed the whole audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
