Jimmy Kimmel Vs. Donald Trump: Talk Show Host Continues War Of Words, 'I Love That This Bothered Him So Much'
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Jimmy Kimmel, host of ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' and the 96th Academy Awards, continues his verbal feud with former President Donald Trump. Kimmel used his platform to mock Trump, who has retaliated by criticizing Kimmel in a Fox News interview. This ongoing battle has garnered significant attention, with Kimmel enjoying the publicity and even turning a comment about Trump into viral merchandise. The feud could potentially impact Disney, as Trump may avoid interviews with ABC or other Disney-owned outlets, and Kimmel's spat with NFL star Aaron Rodgers, a regular guest on ESPN (also owned by Disney), threatens to complicate relations.
