Here's more entertainment and celebrity news for March 6th. Donald Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Christy Knowham on Thursday after a series of controversies. Late Night host Jimmy Kimmel highlighted the move in his opening monologue, comparing it to a dramatic elimination on a reality show. Knowham faced backlash over a $220 million border ad campaign that critics called Self-Promotional along with spending border funds. On a multi-million-dollar jet fleet and her ties to a top aid, she also drew fire for wrongly labeling a man killed by immigration agents as a domestic terrorist. Kimmel joked that her exit came after tough congressional hearings, landing her a new role as special envoy for a made-up security initiative in the Western Hemisphere. He poked fun at her claims that Trump approved the flashy ads featuring her in various outfits. Trump quickly named Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullin, a former mixed martial arts fighter and plumber as her replacement.

Kimmel quiped that Trump enjoys watching him on TV, much like reality show drama. Meanwhile, Kimmel touched on polls showing most Americans oppose war with Iran and feel less safe under Trump, even citing a Fox News survey. He also noted newly released government files with serious allegations against the president. D&N is sponsored by our partner. Check out the episode description. Headphones in a pillow.
