Jimmy Kimmel Says Trump is America ‘Like It Is a Reality Show’

Donald Trump‘s second term hasn’t started yet, but it’s already the gift that keeps on giving to late-night show hosts. Jimmy Kimmel continued his coverage of Trump’s cabinet picks on Jimmy Kimmel Live, comparing the incoming president’s behavior to helming The Apprentice.

“I have to say it has been one interesting week watching Donald Trump go even crazier than anyone even imagined he would,” Kimmel said. “He’s running this country like it is a reality show. But instead of Meatloaf and Dennis Rodman he’s got Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard. You know, if we wanted the host of a reality show to run the country there were much better choices. Jeff Probst, the host of Survivor: he’s smart, he’s fair, he wears the kind of safari clothes you used to see in the old movies. He knows how to settle disputes between warring tribes.”

Kimmel also suggested Philip John Keoghan, the host of The Amazing Race, because “he could strengthen our ties all around the world.” Even better would be RuPaul, who would “throw the most fabulous inauguration party in American history.” Kimmel also listed Tim Gunn, Ryan Seacrest, and the hosts of Dancing With the Stars, Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough. “You think old Vlad Putin wouldn’t bend over if he got a call from Julianne Hough?” Kimmel said. “Of course he would.”

He added, “What I’m trying to say is we screwed up. Donald Trump is like the worst People’s Choice Awards every day now.”

Kimmel then discussed several of Trump’s bizarre cabinet picks, including Gaetz and RFK Jr., who is the most recent announcement. “Who better to be in charge of health and humans than a guy whose brain was partially devoured by a worm?” Kimmel responded. “Trump originally wanted a doctor in that role. Turns out the late, great Hannibal Lector isn’t a real person. This tells you all you need to know about our country right now.”

He added, “If Matt Gaetz is going to be attorney general, bring in Gary Busey to run the CIA. Go for broke.”

Earlier this week, Kimmel also invoked Trump’s former reality show, noting “We’re starting to get more of a sense of what Season Two of the Celebrity Appresident might look like.” “According to his new chief of staff, Susie Wiles, Trump plans to issue a number of executive orders on day one: He wants four Big Macs, six large fries, two buckets of KFC,” the host joked.
