Jimmy Kimmel thanks Donald Trump for 'ridiculous things you do' in Critics Choice acceptance speech [View all]

Source: The Independent

Jimmy Kimmel won the best talk show prize at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, using his acceptance speech to “thank” US president Donald Trump for the “many ridiculous things you do each and every day”.

The talk show host began by joking that the “FIFA Peace Prize would have been better, but this is nice too”, referring to the football association’s newly created Peace Prize that Trump was awarded at the 2026 World Cup draw.

“Thank you to all the writers and actors and producers and union members, many of you who are in this room, who supported us, who really stepped forward for us, and reminded us that we do not take free speech for granted in this city or this country. Your actions were important, and we appreciate them,” he said.

He closed out his speech by thanking “our president, Donald Jennifer Trump, without whom we'd be going home empty-handed tonight”.
