Entertainment & Celebrity News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Kimmel Roasts Trump's 'Fat John Wick' Meme. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 30, Jimmy Kimmel went after President Trump hard on his late-night show after Trump dropped a tough guy meme early Wednesday morning. The pic showed Trump rocking sunglasses and gripping an assault rifle against the bombed out hillside, with the line, no more Mr. Nice Guy. He captioned it, slamming Iran for not signing a non-nuclear deal, and warned them to get smart quick. Kimmel roasted the whole thing in his monologue, calling Trump a fat John Wick and pointing out the post-hit at 405 AM. He joked White House folks should lock Trump's phone from midnight to 6 AM, maybe with one of those yonder pouches from concerts. Kimmel figured Iran's leaders would just laugh it off, thinking the old man lost his marbles and needs his kids to check on him. This amps up Kimmel's ongoing beef with the Trump team, which flared up after the White House correspondence dinner shooting. Kimmel had cracked that first lady Melania had the glow of an expected widow and that landed weird when a gunman tried and failed to take a third shot at the president.
Now the Federal Communications Commission is pushing ABC to renew its broadcast licenses early. They got a complaint from the National Religious Broadcasters over Kimmel's Melania quip. The Freedom of the Press Foundation slammed this as an attack on the First Amendment, saying it chills free speech. Looks like late-night TV in the White House are locked in a bigger clash than ever. That wraps entertainment and celebrity news today. Brought to you with AI.
