The second time host repeatedly invoked the Trump Administration during his short monologue
Bucking expectations that this year's Academy Awards would be less stridently political, second-time host Jimmy Kimmel focused almost exclusively on politics, nearly dropping any pretense of humor. His monologue concluded with a call for Americans to attend a pro-gun control rally later this month and featured several barbs directed at the Trump Administration.
Just seconds into the 90th annual Oscars, Kimmel introduced Lupito Nyong'o, an actress of Kenyan and Mexican descent.
"Let the tweet storm from the president's toilet begin," Kimmel then commented.
Concluding, Kimmel made a call for Americans to attend a March 24th rally in support of new gun control legislation. Speaking to actors who might win awards, Kimmel said: "You have an opportunity and a platform to remind millions of people about important things like equal rights and equal treatment, if you want to encourage others to join the amazing students at Parkland at their March on the 24th, do that."
Kimmel hit Trump again later in the monologue, joking that he called Jordan Peele's horror film "Get Out," "the best three quarters of a movie this year."
Kimmel also name dropped Vice President Mike Pence.
"Only two of the best picture movies made more than $100 million," Kimmel said. "That's not the point. We don't make films for money. We make them to upset Mike Pence. Right?"
Kimmel also spent much of the monologue talking about the wave of sexual harassment and abuse that rocked Hollywood over the last year.
"Over the course of this evening, I hope you will listen to many brave and outspoken supporters of movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp and never again, because what they're doing is important," Kimmel said. "Things are changing for the better, they're making sure of that. It is positive change."

That's pretty funny!
Don't hate Jimmy Kimmel because he's funnier and more successful than you.
Why did you watch?
Or did you NOT watch and just want to bad-mouth out of envy?
We don't make films for money. We make them to upset Mike Pence. Right?"
LOL!

LOL!
Why?
(Perhaps you're just a laughing fool, proof of which is that you find Jimmy funny!)
I don't pretend to be funny, but how do you know I'm not more wealthy than this bewhiskered jerk?
Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.

You're a Jimmy Kimmel fan. How cute.

He is more successful because he was born with better connections and is shameless,but he's not funnier. I hate him because he is a fool with a microphone.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

Kimmel stopped being funny when he became a paid mouthpiece for the Democrats.
He couldn't hold a candle to someone like Johnny Carson who skewered both sides equally.

If true, why don't the right-wingers buy him?
Let's try to think of all the currently relevant actually funny comedians who would wear one of those Red "MoreAssGrabbingAllowed" trucker hats......I'll start.....

A. Carson has been dead for 12 years
B. Carson would be having a field day at the expense of the current administration - and you know it!

Why tweet? She didn't sneak in to our country, pretend to be an American citizen, and sign up for benefits.

Of that ignorant self-important gasbag? ROFLMAO!
You think you're funnier??
I know I'm funnier when I want to be. People have told me I should be a professional comedian all my life,and unlike that shithead,I never had anyone write my material for me.
Let's hear your jokes, smartguy!
You think Kimmel is funny,so you are clearly not smart enough to understand them.

First, Carson was funny. Second, Carson always did it with a chuckle and a smile.
Kimmel does it out of pure hate.

Your mama was eating magic mushrooms right up to the time she squatted behind a dumpster and dropped you out on the ground,didn't she?

If he was so funny their viewers wouldn't be down 16 percent from last years event that was also at record lows.
Keep watching every night though. You will be so smart.

Like all Democrat-Communists, he's stirring the pot.

I agree - Carson was a class act.
Kimmel is a bitter, hate-fueled shill for the Dems.

Hey, I've got one:
-------------
Jameson and Kimmel are standing on the side of the road holding hands and trying to get a ride. A bored trucker picks them. Jameson and Kimmel had just had a hearty meal of tofu and were feeling a bit gaseous. They proceeded to release several completely silent farts. The trucker commented, "hey what's that smell." Jameson and Kimmel just giggled like little school girls. The trucker then said, "excuse me fellas," and unleashed a loud noisy fart. Jameson and Kimmel started giggling again and commented, "he must be a virgin."

I wish more people would follow our lead and STOP feeding the beast called the entertainment business. It would be so easy to cripple this industry: STOP buying their products!!!!!

Don't forget Jack Parr and Steve Allen.

I understand, you don't like Jimmie. Suit yourself.
I'm not surprised the Oscars are tanking in the ratings, it's a boring show. I never watch.
The quality of movies have been tanking at a similar rate.
I actually saw The Shape of Water....against my better judgement.
What a waste of two hours.....
And that was the "Best" picture?

Hey, I've got one:
Thanks for sharing one of your memories.
#25. To: Jameson (#24)
ha ha.
You know that joke fits both you and Kimmel.
Your projection is rather pathetic.
Oh, and I've heard this my idea of humor stuff is just different than yours before. That wasn't comedy -- it was just strident, mean spirited political rhetoric.
#26. To: no gnu taxes (#25)
Your projection is rather pathetic.
It was your story......
#27. To: Jameson (#26)
It was your story......
Yes it was. About you and Kimmel. Snug as bugs in a rug.
#28. To: IbJensen (#21)
Don't forget Jack Parr and Steve Allen.
Or Groucho Marx and Buddy Hackett. Most of today's comedians couldn't stand to be in the same room with those guys.
Ron White is one of today's funnier comics.

I believe I have seen Ron White wear one.
You are the one who has "got nothing",but you were born that way.

Where is he playing, Branson?
But ok - you get one.......
