“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be,” Kimmel read aloud from his phone.

The way Kimmel did this bit was both funny and revelatory. I always say Trump is just a crank – literally a dime a dozen and when he read the comment it sounded like that. Just a petty broken rando and then the punchline. https://t.co/KX5arZtAAK

Kimmel made fun of Katie Britt in the first four minutes of the #Oscars and got everybody to cheer for Trump going to prison at the end.

The MAGA histrionics are going to be legendary.
