FROM NEW YORK POST: Embattled late night funnyman Jimmy Kimmel hosted just one Republican guest on his ratings-challenged talk show over the past three years — while a study found he made sure nearly all his jokes landed at the expense of conservatives.
Before being “indefinitely” yanked off his “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this week after making a false claim that conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was a MAGA supporter, Kimmel, 57, welcomed 13 left-leaning guests this year — and no Republicans, media watchdog NewsBusters found.
The portion of Kimmel’s jokes and gags targeting conservatives surged — from 88% in 2023 to 97% this year, the group found.
He made 1,128 jokes targeted at President Donald Trump in 2025, far more than anyone else.
In fact, since the show started up again on Sept. 2, Kimmel spent about “90 minutes of monologue time over nine episodes” slamming Trump, according to the Post’s review of his monologues.
A graphic posted in the story shows Kimmel targeted two other Trump allies more than anyone else. Trump’s former adviser Elon Musk was attacked 154 times, and War Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized 71 times.
Meanwhile Kimmel hit out left-leaning politicians very infrequently. Former President Joe Biden was the target of a punchline just 26 times, while Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and California Gov. Gavin Newsom were hit just 9 and 5 times, respectively.
Trump political adviser Roger Stone told The Post that Kimmel, “has become a shill for the left and a persistent source of boring unfunny narratives. People I know who have interacted with him also say he’s a jerkoff.”
“Kimmel’s greatest crime was that he wasn’t funny, and that his rhetoric often veered into the hateful . . . He won’t be missed,” Stone added.
Kimmel only brought one GOP-aligned guest on over four years: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
According to Lindell, he had to agree to stay inside an arcade claw-machine game during the interview because he wasn’t vaccinated. Kimmel said Lindell’s claw machine bit was done “because it’s hilarious.”
