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. 

Netizens react to Jimmy Kimmel's remarks on Mike Lindell

Soon after the monologue was uploaded on the YouTube channel, the comments section was filled with netizens sharing their perspectives. 

One wrote, "Mike Lindell needs to call his trial The Pillow Case," while another praised Kimmel, saying, "Jimmy's writers have been on FIRE this past couple of weeks. Brilliant!"

"Jimmy Kimmel and Mike Lindell are my favorite frenemies," noted a viewer, and a person added, "I’d like to thank Jimmy and his staff for making Donald Trump and his cult of weirdos bitter as hell." 

"I hope that Mike and Jimmy relationship stays surprisingly wholesome, it could be the ONE good thing to come out of the entire Trump legacy," expressed someone else. 

One more shared, "I love this. This is how you handle comedy pertaining to the other side but still remain a decent human being," and another person opined, "There's something disturbingly wholesome about this whole Kimdel relationship."
