Jimmy Kimmel: ‘Imagine being proud to be at your father’s porn star trial’ | Late-night TV roundup

Jimmy Kimmel took aim Donald Trump and the end of the hush money lawsuit on last night’s edition of his late show.

On Jimmy Kimmel On Live!, the host talks about the former president’s trial in New York, where he faces multiple charges, which is coming to an end as the jury deliberates. Trump should stay in the courthouse to “sit there for hours and fart by the machine gun.”

Kimmel continued: “Trump is hoping the jury is bound. Of course, he was also hoping for Mike Pence to be hanged, but that didn’t happen.

He said Trump’s camp has been saying the process is corrupt because he knows “he has no chance of being acquitted because he did it.”

Footage of Trump has him calling the trial a disgrace and saying that even Mother Teresa could not be cleared of the charges. “Even if Mother Teresa herself had sex with a porn star and paid after a round of golf, even she would have trouble getting away with it,” Kimmel said.

He then joked that her death was “thanks to the corrupt New York Attorney General.”

Trump called the process “FUCKED!” on Truth Social, “like they’re supposed to entertain him.”

He was also “conveniently confused about standard courtroom procedure” as he claimed the prosecution giving the final closing statement was a sign of favoritism. Kimmel said “you don’t have to be a legal scholar to know” that’s just how every trial ends.

He said all you have to do is watch “the last 10 minutes of every episode of Law & Order” to find out.

Kimmel joked that his wife, Melania, was not at the trial because it was “too hard for her to keep her face,” but his two older sons were there.

After Robert De Niro appeared this week to criticize Trump, Donald Trump Jr. gave a speech criticizing Democrats, calling out only one actor who showed up compared to the many who supported Biden before.

“Your father also had an actor on trial, and that actor was Joe Piscopo,” Kimmel replied.

A weird speech from Eric Trump also claimed they’d win because they’re “all white,” to which Kimmel quipped, “Some of you are white, one of you is orange.”

He also said he was proud to be there and proud of his father’s resilience. “Imagine being proud to attend the trial of your father’s porn star,” he said.
