Internet in splits as Jimmy Kimmel opens up about his 'weird relationship' with prominent Trump ally

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Jimmy Kimmel didn't mince his words while lambasting Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow and a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump, for his disastrous appearance at a Las Vegas event. 

While he was on stage at the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) gathering, one of the organizers had to step in, demanding everyone sit down and pay attention.

Jimmy Kimmel's 'weird' relationship with Mike Lindell

Taking the situation into account, Kimmel joked, "How embarrassing. It’s like your mom coming to your birthday party at school and going, 'Sing! Sing to my baby!'"

It’s undeniable that Kimmel and Lindell have forged an odd sort of relationship within the media world.

For instance, the late-night host recently sent Lindell a trash can as a wedding gift, and Lindell's enthusiastic response was captured in a clip shared by Kimmel on Wednesday, April 24.

He subsequently quipped, "It’s the least I can do for a man who’s given me so much." 

Kimmel frequently incorporates Lindell’s eccentric conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and fervent support for Trump into his comedy.

He often features comedian James Adomian's spot-on Lindell impersonation and has even hosted the My Pillow CEO himself a couple of times, once even showcasing him inside a claw machine.

The video played by Kimmel also showed Lindell’s associate, Brannon Howse, talking about sending the late-night host a gift, which turned out to be a pack of pocket squares with the initial "J." 

Interestingly, the late-night host flaunted the fashion accessory before commenting, "What a weird relationship this has turned out to be. Why do I feel like both of those guys are gonna be living in my guest room at some point." 

He also said that he would soon be sending a gift to Howse.
