Overview
- Jimmy Kimmel completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment on Monday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! with a physician administering the exam and received a perfect score.
- He framed the segment as a response to President Trump’s repeated claims of having “aced” cognitive tests and noted he had invited Trump to take the exam on his show.
- The doctor identified on air as Dr. Sarah Swanson said she regularly administers the assessment, which the segment described as commonly given to people 65 and older.
- Kimmel’s test included tasks such as drawing a clock, identifying animals, linking numbers and letters, recalling words, and listing words beginning with the letter F.
- Days earlier, Trump posted that White House doctors reported he is in “perfect health” and that he “aced” a cognitive exam for the third time, while he continues to call for mandatory candidate testing despite no legal requirement.
