In a candid moment, he critiqued liberals for their handling of Trump, labeling them as "f**king stupid." When Kimmel sought clarification, Burr turned the accusation on the host directly, stating, "You should shut up! He's a narcissist!"
"I think he was a one-hit wonder, right?" said Burr, drawing a music analogy to 'one-and-done' music acts like Vanilla Ice. Then, he criticized liberals for inadvertently turning him into a "martyr."

The comedian humorously predicted Trump's return, anticipating it to be "great for comedy!" Burr went on to express dissatisfaction with the limited presidential choices in 2024, expressing a desire for a candidate in their forties who would have to live with the consequences of their decisions, subtly mocking President Joe Biden, 81, who looks set to run for a second term, barring a major health scare.
As the audience cheered, Burr added a touch of dark humor, saying, "With any luck, they'll both die of natural causes before the election and maybe we can get somebody that still has something to live for."
"Wow, this year you’re not going to get a visit from Santa but you are going to get a visit from the Secret Service,” Kimmel quipped.

A user tweeted in defense of Kimmel's claim about secret service visting Burr, "Trump spews hate filled threats of violence and calls for his opponent’s executions constantly and he’s not a comedian. Bill Burr is a comedian Christ’s sake."
"I doubt he's concerned. His wife flipped trump off at UFC ffs," another chimed.
