Kimmel Roasts Trump’s ‘Lowest’ Ever Kennedy Center Ratings

Jimmy Kimmel says Donald Trump should live up to his word and go “back to Mar-a-Lago” after his horrible ratings failure at the Kennedy Center awards night.

The late-night host opened his first monologue of 2026 with a pitch-perfect roast of the president, recapping all of Trump’s blunders, big and small, over the holidays. Amongst these was the Kennedy Center Honors, which Trump, 79, personally hosted in December. The CBS broadcast of the 48th annual award ceremony brought the network its smallest audience ever for the show.

“After boasting about what a great host he is and how much better he is than I am and how huge his ratings would be, Trump hosted the lowest-rated Kennedy Center Honors telecast of all time,” Kimmel said, as the audience erupted in cheers.
