Kimmel Mocks Trump’s New Press Secretary Zacharia After Brief Debut

Oct 13, 2026

Jimmy Kimmel Live opened with extended mockery of new White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia’s first briefing, which lasted 14 minutes, featured praise for President Trump, and ended with the announcement that Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle had been asked to resign. The segment replayed Zacharia’s past cable-news clips on abortion pills, election fraud, and cultural issues, highlighted her nervous slip referring to her husband as “my president,” and questioned her claim to be a licensed attorney. It also covered Guilfoyle’s ouster over credit-card-bill allegations and Trump’s recent Youngstown rally. The latter half shifted to Guillermo Rodriguez’s elimination from Dancing with the Stars after a salsa that earned his season-high score of 22/40, with fan votes failing to save him.

Trump TV Viewership Drops 95% as Kimmel Mocks GOP on Furries, Trans Issues

Sep 23, 2026

The segment opens with extended banter and clips celebrating Guillermo Rodriguez's low-scoring but crowd-favorite paso doble on Dancing with the Stars, where he improved from 10 to 12/30 yet survived elimination via votes. It then shifts to political satire, mocking Republican desperation six weeks before midterms with examples including Matt Gaetz's reply to a voter citing trans issues, Sen. Tommy Tuberville's Senate speech warning about furry airline pilots, the cancellation of a Kentucky MAGA event due to poor ticket sales, Trump's tarmac welcome for Xi Jinping's state visit, the White House media bans prompting a lawsuit and Trump TV launch, and bipartisan calls to investigate Don Jr.'s oligarch-funded wedding.
