Jimmy Kimmel Invites President Trump To Late Night Show

Would you tune in?

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel said Wednesday that he would “love” to have President Donald Trump on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after his late-night program returned from suspension.  

Bloomberg reporter Lucas Shaw asked Kimmel at the “Bloomberg Screentime” event whether he had invited Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr or Trump to appear on his show since returning from suspension.

Kimmel said he wasn’t interested in having Carr on. Carr had threatened action against Kimmel after the late-night host made remarks about Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter. 

“I’d love to have Trump on the show, for sure,” Kimmel added. “Alright, I’ll ask him.”

Kimmel’s show was briefly suspended following controversial remarks he made about the suspect in the shooting of Kirk. (RELATED: Jimmy Kimmel To Return To Air Tuesday After Indefinite Suspension)

The late-night host said, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

During his conversation with Shaw, Kimmel claimed his comments were “intentionally and maliciously” mischaracterized.  

President Trump praised Kimmel’s suspension and was surprised that ABC allowed the show back on the air.

“I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back,” Trump said. “The White House was told by ABC that his show was canceled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there.”

Shaw and Kimmel discussed the late-night host’s politics and whether he has gotten more political over the years. 

Regarding Trump, Kimmel said: “He’s on TV all day, every day. He gives us a lot to use. That’s not how it used to be. You’d occasionally get a video of George Bush walking the wrong way on stage, and you’d make a week out of it, or somebody trips or something like that. But now you see him, you hear him, he’s presenting himself so frequently — it’s more digestible and less digestible at the same time.”
