Jimmy Kimmel Encourages Trump to Send JD Vance for Their Own Ceasefire Agreement: ‘Good for Both of Us’ | Video
Jimmy Kimmel responded to Donald Trump’s renewed call for his termination by encouraging the president to “send a delegation” before the situation escalated further.
The comedian weighed in on Trump’s Thursday statement, in which he called on ABC to fire him “soon,” during his latest monologue for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“This morning when I woke up, I woke up to my wife shooting video of me with her phone,” Kimmel started off. “It turns out she was she was shooting me to let me know the president gave me another shout out today.”
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” editors then cut to this home video, where Kimmel learned of the president’s statement. After being told by his wife that Trump wanted him “fired again,” he quipped, “I haven’t even been fired once. How can I be fired again?”
Back in the studio, Kimmel read aloud the president’s message for ABC, which noted: “When is ABC Fake News Network firing seriously unfunny Jimmy Kimmel, who incompetently presides over one of the Lowest Rated shows on Television? People are angry. It better be soon!!!”
“If incompetently presiding over not just one of, but the lowest rating in history is the reason I should be fired, we should both be out of a job because you’re not doing too good either,” Kimmel hit back. “He also called into Newsmax this afternoon to call me a low life and demand I be fired again. This guy is so mad. You would think I posted a picture of seashells or something.”
As Kimmel went on, he roasted Trump for focusing on him instead of the Iran war, which he said was “dragging on.”
“Imagine if FDR had taken to the airwaves during the Battle of the Bulge to complain about a little orphan Annie comic strip he didn’t like,” he joked. “Trump has three wars going on right now. Iranians, Ukrainians, and comedians.”
He then took a moment to commend the Republicans who’ve spoken out in defense of the first amendment amid his beef with the Trump administration.
“Senator Ted Cruz again, Senator Rand Paul again, and Congressman James Comer. Every one of these guys I’ve made fun of repeatedly and viciously on this show,” Kimmel said. “And you know what not one of them has done? Pressured ABC to fire me for it.”
Later on in his monologue, Kimmel noted that he was ” worried this conflict is going to escalate,” adding, “He might put a blockade on Hollywood Boulevard. Nobody will be able to get in.”
Kimmel then made his big pitch to Trump: “I think it might be time for us to figure this out because it’s getting crazy. We don’t have to meet face to face. I know you’re busy. Send a delegation.”
He then suggested Vice President JD Vance as the man for the job, given Trump’s No. 2 is leading negotiations with Iran.
“We can meet in a neutral location like, Pakistan or I don’t know Van Nuys. We could go to the Buffalo Wild Wings down the street,” Kimmel added. “Let’s see if we can come up with a ceasefire agreement. This could be good for both of us. I get to keep my job. You get to end your 11th war. What do you say? We can help each other.”
Watch Kimmel’s full monologue above.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC.

As Trump brushes off the need for additional guardrails around artificial intelligence, Bill Gates is sounding the alarm.
In a recent interview, the Microsoft co-founder urged the U.S. government to implement regulations around the development of AI, following a meeting with CEOs of several of biggest AI companies, who agreed it’s necessary to slow down the pace of the growing tech.
“No one thinks self-regulation is enough,” he said on NBC News’ Meet the Press. “You need law enforcement and the politicians to get into the discussion about what safeguards and monitoring look like. And that has to be a required thing. And it will be a little bit of overhead for the industry, but not a dramatic slowing of what they’re doing.”
Gates added, “AI is certainly powerful enough to drive events that, you know, cause a billion deaths. You know, so even though it’s pretty hard to get to 100%, there’s never been a weapon as powerful as the combination of people with ill intent using the latest AI tools.”
Following recent warnings from those working in AI, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order this month to fast-track stringent oversight and control of AI. Convening “a group of world-leading experts” within the next 60 days, the order lays out a discussion of “safety plans” and “an emergency shutoff, or ‘kill switch,’ for frontier models.”
On a federal level, Trump has brushed off concerns about AI as “a hoax,” insisting the U.S. government “already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power” over AI companies.

Although Paramount was one of several companies to roll back their DEI initiative when Trump was re-elected, Survivor continues to operate by it.
Host Jeff Probst recently noted that “nothing has changed” with how the reality competition series approaches diversity, equity and inclusion, noting that it was “one of the biggest positive changes ever” for the CBS show that launched in 2000.
“And if you watch our show, you know that we’re so diverse — and it’s not just skin color or ethnicity. It goes much deeper than that. It’s one of the biggest positive changes ever,” he told The New York Times. “Our stories are so much more interesting now because we have people from completely different walks of life.”
Probst continued, “I feel no pressure. No one ever says, can you count the numbers again? But Jesse Tannenbaum, who runs our casting team, knows: There’s no stopping, not because we’re told to do it. This is what we need. We need diversity. It’s for narrative. All those differences matter in the story when you throw people together and force them to rely on each other while conspiring against each other. The more diverse, the more interesting.”
In 2020, Paramount implemented a DEI initiative to make CBS and its other brands more inclusive, which the company rolled back last year amid the Trump administration’s attacks on such programs. Months later, Skydance pledged there would be no DEI policies under the Ellison’s reign as they sought the FCC’s approval of the merger.
Following its milestone 50th season, Probst returns to host Survivor for Season 51, airing Wednesdays at 8pm ET/PT on CBS and streaming live on Paramount+.
