Newsom accepts ‘Cup O Peace’ award from Kimmel: ‘Eat your heart out, Donald’

On Tuesday, California governor Gavin Newsom accepted a surreal mock trophy on Jimmy Kimmel Live! while promoting his memoir Young Man in a Hurry.
Josh Meyers, performing a Newsom impersonation, entered on a skateboard and parodied the governor with a ribbon-cutting at a shelter for non-binary chihuahuas on Tuesday.
The sketch featured a prop trophy plated with platinum from expired AMEX cards and holding a magnum of sauv blanc, which Meyers poured before both Newsoms drank using paper straws.
Newsom played along with the gag, deadpanning it was 'long overdue' and asking if it came with a third term, then used the moment to jab at Trump and posted a thank-you on X.
The bit echoed Kimmel's past jabs at Trump, riffing on Donald Trump's desire for high-profile prizes and continuing a late-night pattern including a January offer tied to ICE's Minneapolis actions.
