Meryl Streep Shocks Kimmel With ‘Harry Potter’ Voice
Meryl Streep shocked Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night when she gave him a taste of the character voices she does while she is reading books to her grandchildren.
“Do these kids get to hear you read to them?” Kimmel asked Streep during their conversation Thursday night, referring to her grandchildren. When Streep confirmed she does, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host joked, “Oh, wow. They have no idea how good they have it.” He subsequently asked if Streep has been reading the “Harry Potter” books to any of the kids. (He is in the midst of reading the series to his own children.)
“Oh, sure. Yeah, I read that to [my daughter] Louisa, who’s now 34,” Streep replied, adding with a laugh, “Not recently. I read it when she was, you know, in like the third grade or something.” When Kimmel asked her if she does any voices for the books’ characters, Streep enthusiastically responded, “Of course!”
“I heard you do the characters, too,” she told Kimmel, who replied, “No, I do one character. I only do Hagrid. That is the only character that I do, and sometimes I accidentally do Hagrid when it’s other characters speaking… I’m not you. Let’s put it that way.”
Laughing, Streep said, “I’m just trying to imagine Snape as [Hagrid].” She proceeded to put on gruff voice and tell Kimmel, “I do Hagrid!” The late night host immediately replied, “Oh, that’s a good Hagrid. It’s better than my Hagrid.”
You can watch the moment yourself in the video below.
Earlier in the interview, Kimmel asked Streep, who has won three Oscars, what the ages of her grandchildren are. The actress and “Devil Wears Prada 2” star proceeded to recite the ages and then correct herself a few times, before ultimately settling on, “7-5-4-4-3-3-1.” In response, Kimmel joked, “Dial that number. I think you just accidentally gave out your social security number.”
“Are you a cool grandma?” Kimmel asked Streep.
“I don’t know. Hmm… I think I’m a little like Miranda Priestly as a grandma,” the Oscar winner confessed, referring to her tyrannical magazine editor in both “Devil Wears Prada” films. Her answer shocked Kimmel, who asked, “Oof. Really?”
“I like the rules, dear,” Streep explained. “I like the rules.” Kimmel jokingly then asked, “Have you fired any of the children?,” to which a laughing Streep sheepishly responded, “No, but you know…”

Megyn Kelly Drags Madonna’s ‘Needy’ VMAs Performance
Megyn Kelly ripped into Madonna’s appearance at the 2026 Video Music Awards, calling the music icon “needy.”
The “Confessions II” singer came out on top Sunday night at the awards show with seven trophies, including Artist of the Year and Best Collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter for their song “Bring Your Love.”
Madonna’s opening performance during the show featured dancers that had a laser seemingly coming out of their crotch area. Kelly railed into the singer, saying that it was unnecessarily vulgar.
“It’s really more of a butt exercise they’re simulating if I’m being honest because I don’t think most people have sex like that,” she said, commenting on the video in real time on Monday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show.” “I don’t know if this is simulated blow jobs or what.”
Kelly also said that the singer started “bombing” while accepting an award later in the night. Madonna pretended to pull the laser out of her butt and drop it.
“Again, the picture of class. Um, sad, but that’s what she thinks is entertaining,” she said.
During another part of the show, Madonna asked the production team to raise the mic, so she wasn’t having to bow down to it, joking that she has “been bowing down to people for too long.”
“What the what? Who? You’re Madonna,” Kelly asserted. “Who have you bowed down to? Give me a break. Stop trying to act like you’re a victim.”
“Could you please try to find a more empowering narrative for age 68, please? I’m begging you,” she added. “She stinks of desperation.”
Later the former Fox News host made fun of Madonna for not even trying to lip sync during her performance, saying that she frauded the audience. She also pointed out what seemed to be padding in her bloomers.
Kelly said that Madonna used to be in good shape, but now at 68, she lost some muscle definition that she once had. The host said that the butt pads looked unnatural.
“It doesn’t look good. She just wants us talking about her, which I’m complying with,” she said. “But again, how is this hot, attractive, sexy? It just telegraphs needy to me.”
