Jimmy Kimmel’s direct appeal to Donald Trump to let him host the upcoming White House Correspondents’ Dinner sadly went unanswered — the event, which the president is planning to attend for the first time in a decade, is being hosted by mentalist Oz Pearlman.
In the video above, Kimmel decides to take a leaf out of Kid Rock’s book and put on an alternative version of the event, donning a tux and doing the kind of roast he’d have done if he’d been there himself.
“Look at you, all dressed up in formalwear, dresses, tuxedos — I haven’t seen this much black since every page of the Trump-Epstein files,” Kimmel says.
“By the way, in the unfortunate event that our president has a medical emergency tonight, do we have a doctor— I’m sorry, do we have a Jesus in the house? I always confuse them too. I get why you think you’re Jesus. This guy, every time he walks into a room people say ‘Christ, he’s back.’
Kimmel doesn’t just focus on Trump, either, also spending a little time on other key White House staff.
“Oh, look at who we have here, Stephen Miller! Which one of you said his name three times?” Kimmel asks.
