“Late Night with Jimmy Kimmel" opened with the host packing up his office to leave the country because he fears a second Donald Trump administration. Kimmel has been a vocal—and funny—critic of convicted felon and now President-elect Donald Trump, and suspects himself to be on Trump’s list of enemies.
Kimmel’s sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, comes upon the scene and pleads for him to stay saying, “You have a very important voice.” But after convincing Kimmel to do the show, Guillermo reveals he’s heading back to Mexico.
“More than half of this country voted for the criminal who's planning to pardon himself for his crimes,” Kimmel says in his opening monologue.
“I guess this election wasn't rigged. It's weird, though, right? He said it would be rigged,” Kimmel adds, pointing out that after years of election-fraud claims—and even Trump’s attempts to say the election was rigged on Election Day—he and his MAGA party are conspicuously silent about it all now.
"Donald Trump is like the emperor from Star Wars,” Kimmel jokes. “He's all evil and he keeps coming back with no reasonable explanation whatsoever.”
