'Kimmel' Guest Host Nicole Byer Makes A 'Dangerous' Example Out Of Trump's D.C. Talk
'I mean, the man's got a point. D.C. can be a very, very dangerous place. I remember, on Jan. 6, 2021, when someone told an angry mob to get their steps in by storming the Capitol. And that someone was the president!' quipped the comedian in a nod to the deadly riot.
Byer went on to suggest that she went too far, adding that she didn't want to get Kimmel in 'trouble' before his return to the program.
She proceeded to take a much more flattering tone, 'Great job, Mr. President! Oh my God, you go, girl! We love what you're doing! You're the smartest man alive, you're hung like a tarantula!'

Not So Humbly Accepting the Honor President Trump announced this year's Kennedy Center honorees on Wednesday, along with the news that he will host this year's ceremony. 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' guest host Nicole Byer said she's glad Trump is going to play host. 'I mean, let him host the Emmys, the Grammys, a podcast with Theo Von, ' she said. 'He could be the host at an Applebee's. Anything that distracts him from running this country into the ground.' — NICOLE BYER 'Yeah! Give him something stupid to do to keep him out of trouble. Hosting award shows is what he envisioned being president is in the first place. [imitating Trump] 'I'll now present the award for Sexiest NATO Ally — and congratulations to the women of Latvia!'' — SETH MEYERS 'Well, guys, after naming himself chairman of the Kennedy Center, today President Trump announced this year's honorees, including Sylvester Stallone and the band Kiss. Sylvester Stallone makes sense. I mean, he really deserves it, and when you think about Trump's first seven months in office, the word 'Rocky' definitely comes to mind.' — JIMMY FALLON 'And Trump said he picked Kiss, because 'they're one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all time.' And also 'cause they wear as much makeup as he does.' — JIMMY FALLON 'Giving Kiss a Kennedy Center honor is like giving Garth Brooks a B.E.T. Award.' — NICOLE BYER 'Other honorees include country legend George Strait and disco legend Gloria Gaynor. Trump was like, 'Something for the straights, something for the gaynors.'' — JIMMY FALLON The Punchiest Punchlines (Putin and Trump Take Alaska Edition) 'Meanwhile, Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin is almost here, and today Trump warned that Russia will face severe consequences if Putin doesn't agree to end the war. Yup, severe consequences. Putin responded, 'Like what, a second meeting?'' — JIMMY FALLON 'Ahead of Friday's summit with President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the White House is reportedly trying to temper expectations. Of course, now the question is, how do you temper nothing?' — SETH MEYERS 'Well, get this — Trump is hosting Putin at a U.S. military base because it's peak tourist season in Alaska, and the options were limited. This meeting could end a war, and Alaska's like, 'Ooh, sorry, but the Marriott conference room is all tied up with a Rotary Club salmon retreat.'' — JIMMY FALLON 'While speaking yesterday about his upcoming summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Trump told reporters that he expects to know whether he can make a peace deal 'probably in the first two minutes.' Or, more likely, he just doesn't wanna stay longer than that: '[imitating Trump] Whelp, we did our best! Thanks for coming in on a Friday!'' — SETH MEYERS Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

(NewsNation) — Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he obtained his Italian passport just in case he has to leave the country because of President Trump. The 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' host appeared on Sarah Silverman's podcast on Aug. 7, where he shared the news. 'A lot of people I know are thinking about where they can get citizenship,' Silverman said, with Kimmel replying, 'I did get Italian citizenship.' Kennedy Center honorees include George Strait, KISS 'It's so much worse. It's just unbelievable. Like I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be,' Kimmel told Silverman. Kimmel said that he was able to obtain Italian citizenship because of his mother's side of the family, according to the Los Angeles Times. The talk show host and comedian has routinely criticized the president for years, as well as his policies, even during his first term. Trump is no fan of Kimmel, having called him 'stupid' and saying he would be next to lose his late-night show after CBS canceled 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.' Jimmy Kimmel joins a list of comedians leaving US Ellen DeGeneres revealed in July that she and her wife, Portia de Rossi, moved to the United Kingdom due to Trump being reelected. 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in,'' she told a crowd at Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham, England, according to The Guardian. 'And we're like, 'We're staying here.'' Shortly before Trump took office, Rosie O'Donnell, a vocal critic of the president, said she moved to Ireland with her 12-year-old daughter, The Hill reported. 'I moved here on Jan. 15, and it's been pretty wonderful. I have to say, the people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and I'm very grateful,' O'Donnell said in a TikTok video in March. 'I'm in the process of getting my Irish citizenship, as I have Irish grandparents.' In a July 12 Truth Social post, Trump threatened to revoke O'Donnell's U.S. citizenship, calling her a 'threat to humanity.'

'Kimmel' Guest Host Nicole Byer Makes A 'Dangerous' Example Out Of Trump's D.C. Talk
Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest host Nicole Byer on Monday had a blunt reminder for President Donald Trump over his false claims about 'out of control' crime in the District of Columbia — talk he pushed while announcing plans to take control of the police force in the nation's capital. 'I mean, the man's got a point. D.C. can be a very, very dangerous place. I remember, on Jan. 6, 2021, when someone told an angry mob to get their steps in by storming the Capitol. And that someone was the president!' quipped the comedian in a nod to the deadly riot. Byer went on to suggest that she went too far, adding that she didn't want to get Kimmel in 'trouble' before his return to the program. She proceeded to take a much more flattering tone, 'Great job, Mr. President! Oh my God, you go, girl! We love what you're doing! You're the smartest man alive, you're hung like a tarantula!'
