Overview

  • During Thursday’s monologue, Jimmy Kimmel proposed giving President Trump one or all of his awards in exchange for pulling ICE out of Minneapolis.
  • He displayed specific trophies as his offer, including a 1999 Daytime Emmy, a Clio, a Webby, a Writers Guild Award, and a joking 2015 Soul Train plaque.
  • Kimmel conditioned the offer on removing ICE from the city and redeploying agents to the borders.
  • White House Communications Director Steven Cheung criticized Kimmel on X as a “no-talent loser,” while the president had not responded as of Friday.
  • The segment referenced ongoing tensions in Minneapolis involving federal enforcement, recent fatal shootings, and the president’s threat to consider the Insurrection Act.
