Jimmy Kimmel accuses Trump of trying to get him fired and tells him: 'Quiet, piggy'

Early on Thursday morning, Donald Trump made another plea for ABC to fire the late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel, writing on his Truth Social platform that he has “NO TALENT” and “VERY POOR TELEVISION RATINGS”.

On his show later that night, Kimmel was defiant, poking at the president for his previous attempt this fall to get him fired and suggesting that Trump had clearly been watching his show.

“You’ve done this before. You tried to get me fired in September. It didn’t work,” Kimmel said. “Mr President, I admire your tenacity.”

The comedian said his wife had broken the news to him when he woke up that day that Trump had again called for his firing. “I woke up this morning, I’m in bed, my wife comes out of the bathroom – she’s got her phone. She goes, ‘Um, Trump tweeted you should be fired again.’ I was like, ‘Oh,’ and then I went downstairs and made bagels for the kids.”
