Even though Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! was briefly suspended after he controversially commented on President Donald Trump’s associate Charlie Kirk’s assassination, he’s still mocking POTUS.
During Tuesday night’s episode of the ABC program, the television host teased Trump’s sex life and fitness routine. America’s Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said “no fatties” were allowed in the military during the recent unprecedented meeting he had with all of the generals and admirals. Poking fun at Pete’s remark, and pointing to the implied hypocrisy, Jimmy joked about Trump lecturing on fitness.
Jimmy quipped that Trump was “so fat” that he’s “breaking escalators,” after an escalator appeared to stop when he was on it. Before that, he shaded Trump’s comment about the attractive ships this week, asking if Trump was “planning to have sex with the ships?”
“Donald Trump said ‘our new military will be bring back a focus on fitness,’ I love the fact Trump is lecturing [the military] on fitness,” Jimmy said after showing a clip of Pete’s Tuesday speech.

“I mean if that isn’t the fondue pot calling the kettle fat, I don’t know what is,” he continued during his opening segment. “Listen up generals the Pillsbury dough president wants you to do Pilates.”
Jimmy further called out Trump’s huskiness, joking that the “only push-ups Trump did was on the side of an ice cream truck.”
Jimmy is back to his shtick, which is teasing Trump, since returning to television after the suspension saga. Earlier this month, Jimmy faced major consequences after he seemingly made an insensitive remark about Charlie’s assassination during his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
On the show, he said that the “Maga gang” was “desperately trying to characterize this kid [Tyler Robinson] who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them” and of trying to “score political points from it.”
Shortly after he made his opinion on-air, ABC announced that his show would be yanked from the television network’s line-up indefinitely.
Additionally, at the time, Nexstar, which owns 28 ABC affiliate stations across America, said it would pull the late-night show for the “immediate future,” also.
Andrew Alford, who serves as president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, said in a press release: “Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located.
Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt.
His show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue,” Alford continued.
Jimmy Kimmel’s show returned last Tuesday after a massive public outcry and launched ABC and Disney boycott.
