Overview

• Guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live while Kimmel is on vacation, Haddish opened Monday’s show by announcing a tongue-in-cheek presidential bid.
• She said she has “all the qualifications to be president,” citing being rich, having been arrested a few times, and saying outrageous things.
• Her spoof platform proposed taxes paid with old gift cards, credit scores on dating profiles, pastrami at every Subway, and turning delivery robots into sex devices.
• The slogan invoked “mind your own damn business,” a phrase widely associated with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s 2024 messaging.
• Coverage from outlets such as TheWrap and HuffPost framed the monologue as a roast of President Donald Trump, noting she never used his name and that the bit is not a real campaign.
