Overview

• Appearing on the Sept. 25 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Julia Louis-Dreyfus said her father, Gérard “William” Louis-Dreyfus, was listed as an enemy by President Richard Nixon.
• She described him as a civil-rights, voter-protection and First Amendment advocate and said he regarded the designation as a badge of honor.
• Louis-Dreyfus noted her father kept a newspaper copy of the list framed in his office, which Kimmel produced on air for the audience.
• Kimmel quipped that “to Nixon’s credit, at least he released his list,” a line reported as a dig at President Donald Trump.
• The interview came during Kimmel’s first week back after ABC paused the show on Sept. 17; although it was reinstated on Sept. 23, People reported two major station owners still declined to air it.
