In a rare show of unity, late-night television hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert have publicly addressed former President Donald Trump's recent remarks. The duo, known for their sharp wit and political commentary, didn't hold back during their respective shows.
The Backstory
The controversy began when Trump made disparaging comments about Kimmel's hosting of the Oscars. Kimmel, never one to shy away from a rebuttal, fired back during his monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, calling Trump's critique "ill-informed" and "predictable."
Colbert Joins the Fray
Not to be outdone, Stephen Colbert of The Late Show weighed in with his trademark sarcasm. "When you're getting roasted by both of us, maybe it's time to look in the mirror," Colbert quipped, drawing cheers from his studio audience.
Social Media Erupts
The exchange quickly went viral, with fans and critics alike taking to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to voice their opinions. Memes, hot takes, and even a few celebrity endorsements flooded timelines, proving once again that late-night TV remains a cultural touchstone.
Why This Matters
Beyond the laughs, this moment highlights the evolving role of late-night hosts in political discourse. No longer just purveyors of comedy, figures like Kimmel and Colbert are increasingly seen as commentators on the national conversation.
