Donald Trump's recent hosting stint at the Kennedy Center Honors has sparked ridicule from late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel. During his monologue on Monday night, Kimmel took aim at the president for what he saw as a botched hosting job, joking that Trump was "starting to think he's got a crush" on him.
Trump had previously singled out Kimmel as a "horrible" TV host, which prompted Kimmel's sarcastic remarks. Kimmel even poked fun at Trump's boastful claims about being the first president to host the Kennedy Center Honors, asking tongue-in-cheek if that was because no one else wanted the job.
However, in a more serious note, Kimmel announced during his monologue that he had renewed his deal with Disney to continue hosting "Jimmy Kimmel Live" through May 2027. When asked about the renewal, Kimmel expressed gratitude for having an audience and praised the production team behind the show.
Kimmel also got personal with Trump, saying that it meant a lot to him to have viewers' attention and work with the "great group of people" behind his show. His Instagram post announcing the contract extension even included the phrase "another no-talent year," which is a favorite insult from Trump when criticizing late-night hosts.
The tumultuous relationship between Kimmel and Trump has been well-documented, with Trump frequently attacking Kimmel on social media after the host takes shots at him on air. The latest development adds to the ongoing saga, with Kimmel seeming to have finally landed on his feet with a new contract extension.

, meanwhile kimmel is just over here getting paid and doing what he does best - making us laugh and having a good time 
. gotta love how kimmel poked fun at trumps claims about being the first president to host, like who even remembers that lol? anyway, glad kimmel's contract extension means we get more of jimmy kimmel live and less of trump's antics on our screens 
. btw, "another no-talent year" is the best diss ever 
.
! Like, if you're gonna take a shot, take a shot 
! But for real though, it's hilarious how Trump thinks he's got a crush on Kimmel 
. And can we talk about how Kimmel's renewal is a major win? He's got his team and his audience wrapped around his finger 
! Another no-talent year from Trump won't even ruffle Kimmel's feathers 
. Plus, who needs that kind of drama in their life? Not me, that's for sure 
! All hail Jimmy Kimmel, the king of late-night comedy 
! #JimmyKimmelForTheWin #NoTalentYear #KennedyCenterHonors
he's just so extra lol, first of all, who hosts the Kennedy Center Honors again? like what's the point of even doing it if you're just gonna trash the host afterwards? anyway, I'm glad jimmy kimmel got his deal done, he's always been one of my faves on late night 
. By focusing on his team and his show, he seems to have found a way to take the high road and turn a potentially embarrassing situation into a win for himself.
. Nevertheless, it's been entertaining to watch these two engage in their ongoing game of one-upmanship, and I'm sure many viewers are eagerly awaiting the next round 
They're literally falling over everywhere! I wonder if they'll ever be stable enough for me to take some home as a gift... anyway, back to Trump – I mean, has anyone noticed that Kennedy Center Honors is kinda like the Golden Globes, but without all the Hollywood glamour? Just a bunch of rich people being honored by other rich people 
. Remember when Johnny Carson was king of late night and we just enjoyed good ol' fashioned comedy? Nowadays, it's all about throwing shade and getting attention 
. I mean, Jimmy Kimmel's got a great show going and he's still got an audience, so what's the point in all this beef with Trump? In my day, if you wanted to get under someone's skin, you just called them out on it straight, no need for all these jokes 
.
. I mean, Trump is never going to be the most gracious winner, but come on, can't he just take a joke? 
. I'm glad he's found a groove again 
.
! It's not every day you get to say "another no-talent year" and have it be actually true 
what do u think about their whole thing?
