LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the ever-entertaining world of late-night comedy, Jimmy Kimmel recently took a shot at former Congressman George Santos for his attendance at a Trump MAGA event.

The late-night host delved into the details with his signature blend of wit and humor, providing a comedic perspective on Santos' appearance.

Kimmel's comedic take on New Hampshire election results and George Santos' MAGA moment

Kimmel started by highlighting the recent election results in New Hampshire, emphasizing Biden's win through write-ins.

With a humorous touch, he noted, "Biden got 55% of the vote, Trump got 54%, which is less." The satirical remark set the stage for the main event - George Santos' unexpected presence at the Trump gathering.

The late-night host couldn't resist poking fun at Marjorie Taylor Greene, mentioning her association with a reporter and playfully suggesting, "Who could blame him? She seems great. She's got more loose bolts than a Boeing 737."

Kimmel then shifted the spotlight to George Santos, the "fabulously disgraced former Congressman."

The comedic tone continued as Kimmel shared a clip of Santos responding to a question about his invitation to the event. Santos casually mentioned, "I came; it's an open event. It's a public event. I just registered and came. Have fun. It's MAGA time, baby."

Kimmel couldn't help but add his own humorous spin, quipping, "It's 2024, looks like somebody's gunning for a pardon."

Kimmel's playful speculation on Trump and Santos

The late-night host speculated on the potential sentiments between Trump and Santos, jokingly suggesting that Trump must dislike Santos to the extent that there are no photos of them together on the internet.

With a dash of sarcasm, Kimmel expertly highlighted the comedic irony of Santos positioning himself at a Trump event.

The juxtaposition of Santos, the "fabulously disgraced former Congressman," in the MAGA setting added an extra layer of humor to the already amusing narrative.
