Summary
- Late night hosts explored why President Trump dislikes Jimmy Kimmel.
- Kimmel, Oliver, and Meyers offered theories on Trump's animosity.
- Kimmel suggested Trump might not watch channels that air Oliver's show.
Late night hosts Seth Meyers and John Oliver recently appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to discuss theories regarding President Trump's perceived dislike for Kimmel. The trio debated why Kimmel might be Trump's most targeted late-night personality.
Meyers and Oliver posited that Trump might find Kimmel more relatable than other hosts, potentially envying his social circle and lifestyle, including perceived interests like having a pizza oven. They suggested that Trump might view them as less significant figures.
Kimmel offered his own theory, suggesting that Trump's media habits play a significant role. He speculated that Trump primarily watches traditional networks and Fox News, possibly missing shows on channels like HBO or Comedy Central. This limited viewing could mean Trump is less aware of certain hosts, such as Oliver, exempting them from his criticism.
