US EditionJimmy Kimmel Gives Verdict on Melania Trump Documentary in Epic Takedown
Two thirds of the documentary crew disavowed credit citing chaotic production, while Jimmy Kimmel mocked Melania Trump's comparison of the film to iconic musicians.
- On Tuesday, Jimmy Kimmel tore into Amazon's Melania Trump documentary, mocking its promotion and quoting `Are you really trying to tell us this dumb vanity project, this corporate bribe is a work of art we're going to remember like the music of Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson`.

- Comedic framing highlighted crew decisions and cultural comparisons rather than film craft; Jimmy Kimmel reduced the documentary to a three-word jab and noted people keep credits on Matt Damon movies and Cats from years ago.
