The comedian said he heard the comment while he was at home the night before, minding his “own life.” “Man, I really got into his head,” he joked.
Donald Trump reportedly threatened to sue Trevor Noah over the host’s comments at the 2026 Grammy ceremony.
“This is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense, I mean, Epstein Island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out on with Bill Clinton,” Noah joked during the awards show.
In a clip shown during Kimmel’s monologue, Trump describes Noah as “weak” and says he did a “terrible job” at the Grammys. “I would say it wasn’t as bad as Jimmy Kimmel, but it came pretty close,” the president added.
Kimmel has already hosted the Oscars in 2017, 2018, 2023 and also in 2024, when he broke audience records.
“Let me say one thing: Donald Trump somehow has time to watch all the award shows and hates every single one of them,” Kimmel observed.
“Mark my words now: if Melania is nominated for an Oscar, I will host that show, whether they invite me or not. I will insist on it!” he teased.
