US EditionJimmy Kimmel Critiques Trump’s Record-Length State of the Union
The late-night host delivered immediate on-air commentary as Trump's address stretched to 108 minutes, the longest State of the Union on record.
- On Tuesday, Jimmy Kimmel, late-night host, went live to respond to President Donald Trump's 108-minute State of the Union, calling it rambling and untruthful.
- The address contained multiple false claims covering the economy, tariffs, healthcare, and foreign policy, and Kimmel objected to the xenophobic rhetoric and boast of kicking two million people off food stamps.
- Using props and jokes, Kimmel mocked the speech’s tone with a heavily redacted document screenshot and a $99.99 God Bless the USA Bible gag, while accusing Trump of censorship and goons’ arrests in his `real State of the Union.`
- Other late-night hosts went live Tuesday night to respond, joining Kimmel's critique as Stephen Colbert criticized the speech and Jimmy Fallon mocked its brief accomplishments followed by lengthy riffing.
- Amid ongoing controversies, Kimmel's response fits a pattern of late-night pushback, as he roasted Trump's reaction to the Bad Bunny halftime show earlier this month and noted the Epstein files' omission.
