Jimmy Kimmel gave a special shout out to Donald Trump, crediting the president for making him the \u201cthird most trending person in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comedian shared his new title during his monologue for Thursday\u2019s broadcast of \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!,\u201d and noted Trump was largely to thank for the newfound attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned that, according to Google, for the year 2025, I was the third most trending person in the world,\u201d Kimmel stated at the top of his show. \u201cNow, I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s an honor because No. 1 was a singer named D4vd, who spells his name with a four instead of an A [and] who is a suspect in a murder \u2014 which I guess got him bumped up.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Kimmel continued, he revealed that he fell just behind Kendrick Lamar, who landed in the No. 2 spot after he \u201cmurdered Drake this year at the halftime of the Super Bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then it\u2019s me, even though I haven\u2019t been involved in any murders,\u201d Kimmel added. \u201cI just want to say, none of this would ever have happened without the support of loyal viewers like President Trump, who has done so much this year to raise awareness of our show. Thank you, Mr. President for making me No. 3 in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Kimmel\u2019s year wasn\u2019t without any scandal, given he was briefly suspended by ABC back in September following remarks he made about the death of Charlie Kirk. While Kimmel\u2019s suspension was lifted after less than a week, his show found itself pre-empted by Sinclair and Nexstar on their affiliates until Sept. 26.<\/p>\n

Trump has also called for Kimmel to be fired from his late night gig on more than one occasion. In fact, last month, Trump ranted about Kimmel on Truth Social<\/a>, where he asked ABC to \u201cget the bum off the air!\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWhy does ABC Fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel, a man with NO TALENT and VERY POOR TELEVISION RATINGS, on the air? Why do the TV Syndicates put up with it? Also, totally biased coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel responded by slamming Trump<\/a> as a \u201csnowflake,\u201d adding: \u201cI have honestly lost count now of how many times the president has demanded I be pulled off the air\u2026 Every five weeks he flips out and wants me fired.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC.<\/p>\n
