'We had John Cena naked and somehow Trump managed to be the biggest d**k': ... trends now
Jimmy Kimmel slammed former President Donald Trump again in his first show after his calling him the 'biggest d**k' of the night, upstaging John Cena's infamous nude presenting sketch.
Kimmel couldn't resist mocking Trump after the ex-Commander in Chief asked if there'd ever been a 'WORSE' host in Academy Awards history in a blistering social media post during the ceremony.
Despite claiming that the show was 'not about me' and having not mentioned Trump in his opening monologue, Kimmel proceeded to read the post live on stage about himself before snidely asking the president: 'Isn't it past your jailtime?'
In his monologue on his ABC late night show Monday evening, Kimmel returned to the stage to continue to poke fun at Trump's post, which he claimed was driven by an 'Adderall McFlurry' that kicked in.
'Funny, we had John Cena on the stage naked and somehow he managed to be the biggest d**k of the night,' he said to huge applause from his Los Angeles audience.

'After the show, almost everyone I ran into asked was that real? Of course it was real and it kind of tells you all you need to know about Donald Trump.'
'He wrote this because he was upset I didn't mention him on the show and no one mentioned him on the show, he wasn't getting any attention, he couldn't stand it!'
Kimmel read the president's Truth Social post a second time and then joked it was 'also his wedding toast to his son Eric. I don't take too much offense.'
The ABC host added that he wasn't planning to talk about Trump at all during the ceremony but when one of his writers showed him the post, he had to read it.
His show began with a fakeout that saw Justin Timberlake to pretending to guest host in Kimmel's absence before the host's return.
Timberlake, Dwayne Johnson and fellow anti-Trump liberal Robert De Niro were Kimmel's guests for the evening.
Kimmel, 56 has long been a critic of Trump, 77, to the point where he once whined that he'd lost 'half' his audience over criticism of the former president.

Trump, likewise, has often hit back at Kimmel and the Oscars as a show, but took to Truth Social Sunday night to slam the ceremony as 'a really bad politically correct show.'
