Which is why his ratings returned to normal.

Kimmel's program, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, had just returned from an "indefinite" ABC suspension. During Stephen Colbert's show, he described Trump as "that son of a b**ch." Colbert is also known for his clashes with POTUS. He told Kimmel to "add Mister" before the phrase.

Internet reactions to Jimmy Kimmel slamming POTUS Donald Trump on Stephen Colbert's show

Marco Foster took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page to share a clip from the show, captioning:

"Jimmy Kimmel on Donald Trump: “That son of a bi**h. It’s really unbelievable. I never imagined that we'd ever have a president like this and I hope we don’t have another president like this again”"

A transcription of the clip is as follows:

Kimmel:

"I mean, that son of a bi**h, you know, is really unbelievable."

Colbert:

"Mr. Son of a bi**h. I mean, Mr. Son of a bi**h."

Kimmel:

"His royal, yes. No, I never imagined that we would ever have a president like this. And I hope we don't ever have another president like this again. I never imagined. I never even imagined there would ever be a situation in which the president of our country was celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs. For somebody who took pleasure in that, that to me is the absolute opposite of what a leader of this country is supposed to be."

Netizens were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the X post as they shared their opinions on Jimmy Kimmel's latest jab at POTUS Donald Trump. Below are some of their remarks:

"All of america stands with Jimmy.", declared an X user.

"Who is going to tell him, Disney cancelled him. Not the U.S. Gov.", commented another.

"Classic Kimmel energy, part disbelief, part “I need to vent to millions of people at once.” That quote has everything: shock, judgment, and the subtle reminder that late-night hosts are basically the nation’s collective eye-roll. The internet will eat it up, splitting between fans cheering the roast and haters calling it biased, because nothing lands neutrally when it’s about Trump.", penned a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Is that guy capable of talking about anything other than Trump?", questioned a netizen.

"Without Trump these two guys may literally haven been out of work a while ago. Their entire platform is being anti Trump. And funny? A stretch.", opined another.

"If anybody reads this quote and doesn’t think he’s a hypocrite, idk what to say to you. Anyways, he will be canned here when his contract is up. His ratings literally went back to sh*t just a few days after the “rebellion” lol", commented a third.

Trump has a notable and controversial history with late-night hosts. He often uses his social media platforms to criticize them. He also celebrated Jimmy Kimmel's ABC suspension and Colbert's cancellation.
