The late night host took a page out of Trump's playbook in an X post declaring the Emmys 'RIGGED' after 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' lost the Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series to 'The Daily Show' yet again.

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel took a page out of former President Donald Trump's playbook in an X post declaring the Emmys "RIGGED" after Jimmy Kimmel Live lost the Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Series to Jon Stewart's The Daily Show yet again.

Kimmel—who has never won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series but who nonetheless has three Emmy Awards to his name for hosting several variety specials—spoke out after Stewart won his 23rd Emmy and his first in nearly a decade as part of the team on The Daily Show.


He issued the following remarks on X, formerly Twitter that mocked Trump's constant bogus allegations about election fraud:

"The results of last night’s #Emmys were TOTALLY UNFAIR in the category of LATE NIt SHOW!! Sad! RIGGED!! POLSS SAY I won!!! BY a LOT!"

You can see his post below.

People immediately got what Kimmel was putting down—and the jokes came flying.


At the start of the year, Stewart announced his plan to join The Daily Show as the Monday host throughout this election season.

When asked backstage if he’d consider extending his stint, Stewart jokingly suggested he might have to:

“Well, my feeling is this election will never end. So why would I? How could I leave? I won’t be allowed to leave until the election, until we’re all ground to some sort of calcified nubs. … We’re looking forward to it being awful.”

When Stewart returned to the program, Variety reported that he was expected to take on a behind-the-scenes oversight role, potentially extending through 2025.

However, Stewart’s response hints that the executives at Comedy Central and Paramount Global might be satisfied with the hybrid hosting approach for The Daily Show and could be interested in keeping it going for the time being.

Donald Trump never won an Emmy for The Apprentice, which he whined about at every opportunity.

We wish Kimmel luck for next year's awards ceremony.

White Nationalist Admits That Liberals Were Right About Trump Being A 'Demagogue'

Far-right pundit and white nationalist Nick Fuentes admitted on his show that "liberals were right, fundamentally" about President Donald Trump, acknowledging Trump's brand of authoritarian populism by referring to him as a "populist demagogue."

In its modern sense, a demagogue is a political agitator who seeks to advance their political goals or personal power by appealing to people’s emotions, prejudices, and hardships.

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

People Describe The Moment They Realized They Were Privileged

There is little more off-putting than when people flaunt their wealth and privilege in other people's faces.

On the flip side, not everyone takes kindly to wealthy people who act like they're "one of us".

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
