Kimmel Mocks Zacharia's 'Litigated' Defense
30 Oct
Summary
- Kimmel satirized Zacharia's repeated 'litigated and adjudicated' defense.
- Zacharia was fired after only five days as press secretary.
- Kimmel jokingly asked Trump to rehire Zacharia until Christmas.
Jimmy Kimmel addressed the recent departure of White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia on his late-night show. Zacharia was dismissed less than a week after assuming the role. Kimmel highlighted Zacharia's recent media appearances, particularly an interview with Piers Morgan, where she repeatedly stated her ousting had been "litigated and adjudicated."
Kimmel found Zacharia's insistence on the phrase "litigated and adjudicated" amusing, especially given the short duration of her employment. He joked about her seeming inability to move past the situation, suggesting she needed to be "rebooted." Zacharia attempted to downplay the firing by noting it occurred over ten days prior.
In a lighthearted moment, Kimmel directly addressed President Trump, requesting he bring Zacharia back to the press secretary role just until Christmas. Kimmel vowed to compensate Trump for this favor, adding a playful promise to "make it up" to him.
