Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel responds to Donald Trump's social media insult during the awards show.
Kimmel takes the stage to share a review he's proud of, pulling out his phone to read Trump's Truth Social post.
Trump's post criticizes Kimmel's hosting, suggesting a replacement with "washed up" ABC talent George Slopanopoulos.
Kimmel humorously reads the post aloud, sarcastically adding, "Blah, blah, blah, make America great again."
The comedian playfully hints at Trump's potential legal troubles, asking, "Isn't it past your jail time?"
The audience responds with cheers and laughter, marking Kimmel's fourth time hosting the Academy Awards.
Backstage, Kimmel reveals the impromptu moment occurred due to the telecast running slightly ahead of schedule.
Despite warnings not to read the Trump tweet, Kimmel insists, stating, "Yes, I am."
The incident adds a light-hearted and memorable touch to the Oscars, showcasing Kimmel's comedic prowess.
