Jimmy Kimmel Taunts Trump With All-Too-Real Answer To Melania's 'Softest' Question
HuffPost
The late night host mocked Fox News for asking the first lady an absurd question.
Jimmy Kimmel tore into Amazon for spending a fortune on “Melania,” a new documentary about first lady Melania Trump in the days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration.
“Amazon shelled out $40 million to make this movie and another $35 million to promote it, which is so much more than probably any documentary ever,” Kimmel said. “But they want you to know that this had nothing to do with the fact that her husband is a petty, vengeful bloodsucker.”
He read a statement from an Amazon spokesperson claiming the only reason the company paid for the film was “because we think customers are going to love it.”
“And then she laughed and laughed until they had to carry her away,” Kimmel cracked.
He also mocked Fox News for its extremely friendly interviews with the first lady ― especially a question from one of the hosts of “The Five.”
