On the latest episode of the late-night talk show, Kimmel based major part of his monologue on Trump’s impeachment trial. He started his monologue by putting up pictures of all the Republic senates and went on to eliminate several of them based on their chances of being re-elected or being a strong Trump supporter. He then joked about how Democrats could present a video of Donald Trump saying, “I Donald Trump hereby incite this insurrection of violence” and Republicans will still demand for a proof. Kimmel also added how a few Republicans might stand up against Trump if “three ghosts will visit them in the middle of the night tonight”, a reference to the famous A Christmas Carol.

At the beginning of his monologue, Jimmy Kimmel also cracked another joke where he compared the impeachment trail to The Empire Strikes Back. He further added that everybody knows how it ends but people are still watching it. Kimmel concluded his monologue by stating that Trump’s argument in the trial is basically him saying, “Yes, maybe I did should fire in a crowded theatre” but these people chose to trample each other on their own.
