Jimmy Kimmel reveals he ‘might’ host Oscars 2025 after Trump’s ‘fool’ remarks

nypost.com:

Jimmy Kimmel “might” be hosting the 2025 Oscars after Donald Trump said he was “a fool” and the “worst host ever” at this year’s ceremony.

Kimmel, 56, kicked off his ABC talk show by revealing he received nearly a hundred messages after he appeared to have once again agitated “our Kentucky fried former president.” In a lengthy Truth Social media post made by the former president, Trump, 77, claimed that Kimmel “still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards.”Kimmel said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that his ratings had, in fact, been pretty high. “I don’t know.

That must be why they asked me to host the show again next year.” Kimmel laughed on Wednesday. “Which I wasn’t planning to do but now I might.

Maybe — you know what — maybe you can watch on the TV in the rec room at Riker’s with all the guys.”Kimmel, according to Deadline, has already been approached by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to host the ceremony slated for March 2, 2025.
