Joy Behar was so delighted with Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel‘s instant-classic Trump slam – “Isn’t it past your jail time” – during Sunday’s awards show that she immediately dashed off a congratulatory email…to Jimmy Fallon.
On The View today, co-host Behar said, “I thought that Jimmy Kimmel’s joke about ‘Isn’t it past your jail time’ was so spot-on and the fact that Trump was on his Truth Social or whatever writing all this stuff…Well, I know Jimmy, so I decided I’d write him an email to congratulate him on taking on this fascist with a joke, because comedians rule.
“But I sent it to Jimmy Fallon.”
For the record, Fallon didn’t respond.
While View moderator Whoopi Goldberg commiserated – “I don’t think there’s anybody sitting at this table who has never sent the wrong email to the wrong person” – Behar seemed unassuaged. “I’m so technologically stupid it’s a wonder I didn’t send it to Jimmy Carter,” she said.
Kimmel’s “Isn’t it past your jail time” quip Sunday night followed the Oscar host’s live, on-air reading of Donald Trump’s Truth Social instant-review of the host and ceremony. Read Kimmel, “Has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous. Blah. Blah. Blah. Make America Great Again.”
