Jimmy Kimmel mocks Donald Trump during late-night monologue

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel recently mocked President Donald Trump during a monologue, coining the nickname ‘Teddy Doze-evelt’ after the president appeared to nap during a September 11 memorial ceremony. Kimmel aired a montage of clips depicting Trump appearing to nod off at various public events, including his inauguration and several Cabinet meetings. The host also made jokes regarding Senator Mitch McConnell’s recent return to public life following a period of absence.

In a separate development, political analysts noted that attempts to censor an interview conducted by Kimmel with Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico may have backfired. According to Jason Johnson, an associate professor at Morgan State University, the controversy surrounding the interview actually increased its viewership on YouTube. The discussion also touched upon the symbolic passing of the torch from Stephen Colbert to Kimmel following Colbert’s recent departure from CBS.
