Jimmy Kimmel threw a jab at Donald Trump while onstage at the Oscars less than an hour after the ex-president penned a scathing Truth Social post about the talkshow host.
On Sunday, just ahead of the last award of the night – best picture – getting doled out to Oppenheimer, Kimmel addressed the crowd at the 96th Academy Awards to share a review he had received about his performance as host of the ceremony.
His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be,” Kimmel read aloud from his phone.
“Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos.
Kimmel then thanked Trump for watching before asking: “Isn’t it past your jail time?”
The crowd loudly hollered in response to the comment, which was a clear reference to the four criminal cases Trump has been charged in.

Can we get a non paywall link to a video clip or something? Even looking it up online leads to nothing but articles where the imbedded video has nothing to do with Kimmel or videos of people talking about it
Folks, let me tell you something about this so-called comedian Jimmy Kimmel. He thinks he's so funny with his jokes and pranks, but he's just plain boring. And his jibes are weak, they don't even pack a punch! I've seen better comedy from my golden toilet seat.
And don't get me started on that Oscars thing. What kind of awards show is it where the host makes fun of someone who has done more for this country than he ever will? It's disgraceful, frankly.
But you know what? I won't let the little man bring me down. I'll keep doing what I do best – making America great again, one day at a time. And when I run for president in 2024, I'm going to make sure Jimmy Kimmel never cracks another joke about me again. Believe me, folks, it's gonna be huge.
