Following the 2024 election of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to a second term, claims emerged on social media that late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, a longtime Trump critic, would be canceling his show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", and moving to Canada on Inauguration Day:

Jimmy Kimmel blasted Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. on Monday’s (November 11) episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he continued to react to the fallout of the 2024 presidential election results.

The ABC late-night host, who compared the anxiety around finding out who would be the next president to "waiting to get the results of a biopsy," told viewers, "Let’s remove this cancerous polyp from our collective national colon and move on already.

Let me tell you, that was the worst Taco Tuesday of my whole life,” the Jimmy Kimmel Live host said at the top of his monologue Wednesday night, less than 24 hours after Donald Trump won the election.

Jimmy Kimmel almost broke down in tears while making an extremely emotional speech about Donald Trump’s election win. Trump was announced as the 47th president of the United States yesterday (6 November) after beating Democrat rival, Kamala Harris, to the leadership.
