Jimmy Kimmel Rips ‘Vice President Maybelline’ JD Vance as Show Heads to Brooklyn

Jimmy Kimmel has kicked off his seventh annual Brooklyn week and he’s back broadcasting to 100% of the country.

The Jimmy Kimmel Live! late night talk show host has arrived in New York City and was met with a thunderous applause from his hometown on Monday, September 29. “This time last week, I was applying to be a hostess at Buffalo Wild Wings, and here we are,” he began, before thanking locals for their support. The 57-year-old opened his first show of the week — on the opposite side of the country from where he usually films — with a monologue featuring more jokes about President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

The first time Kimmel mentioned the president’s name, it was met with “boos” from the audience. Kimmel joked about President Trump ordering his administration to declassify files about Amelia Earhart. Kimmel also told jokes at the expense of the New York Mets, New York City Mayor Eric Adams and “Vice President Maybelline,” aka JD Vance in his monologue. Kimmel has five shows in Brooklyn, kicking off the first show with Ryan Reynolds, Josh Johnson and Public Enemy on Monday night. Kimmel noted he was unsure if the show would make it to the Brooklyn week after the six-day hiatus the show had after being pulled off the air on September 17.
