Jimmy Kimmel Skewers JD Vance While Celebrating His Return to All Broadcast Channels: ‘Vice President Maybelline’

Jimmy Kimmel takes Jabs JD Vance upon Return to National Broadcast Channels

Late-night host, Jimmy Kimmel, did not hold back on his criticism of Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump as he launched a series of shows in Brooklyn, New York. The 57-year-old comedian took the stage at the Howard Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for a taping of his show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, marking only the second episode to air on all stations across the United States after facing suspension by Disney and being pulled from major broadcast networks on September 17th.

While the suspension was lifted on September 22nd, broadcasters Nexstar and Sinclair chose to continue preempting the show until Friday, September 26th. Kimmel used his opening monologue to address the resumption of his show across all networks and took the opportunity to mock JD Vance over comments he made about Kimmel’s popularity and ratings.
During an interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News, Vance suggested that Kimmel’s show was taken off the air due to unpopularity and low ratings. In response, Kimmel humorously boasted about his show being picked back up by Nexstar and Sinclair, ensuring its broadcast across the nation. Kimmel taunted Vance, saying, “We’re back on all the stations at every home, every bar, every strip club, and every prison in America.”

Kimmel also responded to Vance’s claims of low ratings by cleverly pointing out the irony of the situation. He quipped, “Last time I checked, your ratings are somewhere between a hair in your salad and chlamydia.” The late-night host didn’t stop there, questioning how the country ended up with leaders who wear more makeup than celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Lady Gaga combined.
Earlier in the monologue, Kimmel also took a swipe at President Trump’s decision to declassify records related to Amelia Earhart’s disappearance, dismissing it as a distraction from more pressing issues.

Kimmel’s bold and comedic commentary on political figures and current events has been a trademark of his show, making him a popular figure in late-night television. His ability to blend humour with social critique has garnered him a devoted audience and a reputation for addressing controversial topics in an entertaining manner.
As the week-long series of shows in Brooklyn continues, audiences can expect more sharp-witted satire and insightful commentary from Jimmy Kimmel. His unique style of humour continues to resonate with viewers across the country, cementing his status as a prominent voice in late-night television.

In an era of heightened political tensions and social divisions, Kimmel’s ability to address serious issues with a light-hearted touch provides a much-needed break from the constant barrage of news. His willingness to challenge authority and speak truth to power has made him a polarizing figure, with both supporters and detractors eagerly tuning in to see what he’ll say next.

As Jimmy Kimmel navigates the ever-changing landscape of late-night television, his irreverent humour and fearless commentary ensure that he remains a prominent figure in the cultural zeitgeist. Whether skewering political figures or tackling social issues, Kimmel’s unique brand of comedy continues to captivate audiences and spark important conversations.
