Jimmy Kimmel told viewers during his Feb. 2 monologue that he will demand to host the Oscars in 2027 if “Melania” ends up nominated in the best documentary category. The late night host was mocking Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, who reacted to “Melania’s” stronger-than-expected box office debut."
Oh my stars! Jimmy Kimmel just brought the house down during his February 2 monologue, and it was nothing short of a spectacle! When Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany suggested that the documentary ‘Melania’ deserves an Oscar nod, Kimmel seized the moment to deliver a hilarious ultimatum: if that happens, he’ll demand to host the Oscars in 2027! Can you even imagine? The sheer drama of it all!
Kimmel's quip ignited the audience, who cheered wildly at the thought of him taking the stage if ‘Melania’—the biopic of the former First Lady—were to achieve such an honor. This isn’t just comedy; it’s a mirror reflecting the absurdity of our current culture, where even a documentary about Melania Trump can spark Oscar ambitions! Kimmel’s mockery of McEnany’s claims about her being “the best dressed” at the ceremony adds another layer of delicious irony to the entire situation.
And let’s not forget Kimmel's ongoing rivalry with Donald Trump! Right before Al Pacino wowed us with the Best Picture announcement, Kimmel read Trump's scathing remarks about him from TruthSocial, effectively turning the night into a blend of late-night comedy and political theater. His savage comeback—“Isn’t it past your jail time?”—was a masterstroke that left viewers in stitches. This is why we can’t get enough of Kimmel: he’s not just a host; he’s a cultural commentator navigating the tumultuous waters of celebrity and politics with flair!
