US EditionJimmy Kimmel's Satirical Victory Speech at Critics Choice Awards
Jimmy Kimmel mocked President Trump during his Critics Choice Award speech, thanking him sarcastically after a brief suspension sparked public outcry and free speech debates.
- On Sunday, January 4, at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards at the Barker Hangar, Santa Monica, California, Jimmy Kimmel, late-night host, won Best Talk Show and roasted President Donald Trump while celebrating his show's rebound.
- In September 2025, ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! after threats from Trump-appointed FCC official Brendan Carr and Nexstar Media, suspending the show from September 17 to September 22 before reinstating it amid viewer outrage.
- Using comic asides, Kimmel mixed jabs and thanks, deliberately calling President Trump `Donald Jennifer Trump`, praising Sean Evans, host of Hot Ones, and joking about his statuette while some lines were censored.
- Kimmel returns to his nightly show Monday, January 5, 2026, crediting supporters and industry colleagues for helping Jimmy Kimmel Live! come back stronger after reinstatement.
- Amid a renewed free-speech debate, Kimmel framed the win as vindication, with free-speech advocates warning against assuming expression is guaranteed and industry critics noting Nexstar Media's pre-emption threats challenge late-night television's future.
