Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel voiced deep concern following Donald Trump’s unexpected victory, calling it a “terrible night” for many Americans. His somber monologue resonated with an uneasy audience, reflecting Hollywood’s dismay.
Kimmel, 56, described Trump’s win as upsetting for groups like women, children, and immigrants, remarking, “It was a terrible night for… hardworking immigrants who keep this country running.” His words highlighted broader concerns over healthcare, justice, and democracy. Hollywood and Democratic leaders shared similar reactions; Jim Manley, a former aide to Harry Reid, criticized Biden’s decision to run, suggesting it caused serious damage. Even George Clooney, who previously supported Biden, called for younger leadership.
Despite his fears, Kimmel joked about the likely ratings boost, quipping that he might end up sharing a jail cell with Taylor Swift following the inauguration.
