During his “Jimmy Kimmel Live” monologue on Thursday night, Jimmy Kimmel took a humorous dig at Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of health and human services. Kimmel quipped, “Who better to be in charge of health and humans than a guy whose brain was partially devoured by a worm?” referencing RFK Jr.’s bizarre revelation about a brain scan abnormality caused by a worm.
RFK Jr., the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, is known for his anti-vaccine views and his unsuccessful presidential run in the 2024 election. He was also involved in a scandal with New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi, leading Kimmel to joke about the state of the country’s leadership.
Kimmel didn’t shy away from criticizing other controversial figures, including Matt Gaetz, who was under investigation for sexual misconduct and drug use before resigning to pursue the attorney general position. Kimmel sarcastically remarked that in the Trump administration, being investigated for sex trafficking underage girls could be listed as a special skill on one’s resume.
The late-night host’s monologue was filled with sharp humor and pointed commentary on the current political landscape. Kimmel’s ability to blend comedy with social commentary continues to resonate with audiences, making his show a must-watch for those looking for a satirical take on current events.
