Toward the end of the 2024 Academy Awards broadcast, Kimmel, who was hosting, gave an impromptu performance of his recurring “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” sketch.
“I just got a review: ‘Has there ever been a worst host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars?’” he read from his phone. “His opening was that of a less-than-average person trying too hard to be something which he is not and never can be.”
As the tirade veered off into jabs at “George Slopanopoulous” and a call to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” it became clear Kimmel wasn’t reading a comment from some rando on the internet, but the then-former president, who had posted this to Truth Social during the show:
Six weeks later, Trump was still upset about Kimmel mocking him on “Hollywood’s biggest night.” He posted this follow-up rant, which included multiple errors (the post suggests Kimmel botched the Best Picture announcement, but it was Al Pacino):
Five months later, Trump brought up the incident again on the campaign rally. “Remember I put a truth?” he asked the crowd, “I said how he’s the worst host in the history of the Academy Awards.” Then he reenacted Kimmel’s live reading of his post, concluding, “he’s one of the dumbest human being after.”
