Jimmy Kimmel Delivers Scathing, “Alternative” White House Correspondents’ Dinner Roast Of Donald Trump

Jimmy Kimmel delivered his own, alternative to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner comedy monologue, with scathing jokes about Donald Trump, his wife Melania and the president’s White House team.

In his monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, Kimmel noted that Trump is attending the dinner this weekend for the first time as president. But the WHCA has chosen a mentalist, Oz Pearlman, to serve as a featured entertainer, rather than a comedian as in past years. Kimmel himself entertained at the dinner in 2012.

So instead, Kimmel presented his own schtick, appearing on a mock set at the Washington Hilton with clips of the president and others in the crowd, some looking none too happy.
