This week’s news about Jimmy Kimmel has got everyone talking, irrespective of the statement in his monologues. From his scathing political commentary to the rejection of the Academy Awards platform once more, Kimmel proves to be one of the most trending figures of the small screen.
Let’s find out the reason why Jimmy Kimmel is trending right now, and not to forget what his speech is, which makes him so viral.
Kimmel Refuses to Host Oscars 2025
It was indeed an unexpected move by Jimmy Kimmel to have sent an official refusal to the Academy regarding the position of the host of the 97th Academy Awards that will be held on the 2nd of March, 2025. The Oscars would have been his fifth time as the host. According to the sources, the Academy approached comedian John Mulaney but he also denied the offer immediately.

While Kimmel didn’t release a statement indicating his own reasons for turning down the Oscars, his fans speculate that it is a matter of time, political unrest, and his tight schedule with Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Regarding the withdrawal from the host role, Kimmel recently teased that he was giving Conan O’Brien some ridiculous tips for the job trying to ever fool with it.
Political Punchlines and Tariff Takedown
He isn’t sparing words when it’s about politics either. On April 10th monologue, Trump was the first victim as Kimmel destroyed him for his 90-day sudden lifting of international tariffs, which he named chaotic and misguided.
Seeing Trump’s eleventh-hour adjustment for the actions brought to mind one who would behave like “a reckless gambler” playing in a Las Vegas casino. It didn’t stop there as Kimmel had also derided Trump’s statement where he talked about foreign leaders being “willing to do anything” for a trade deal, comparing it to “a category on an adult website” than international affairs.
The clip brought attention from both fans and haters, causing a viral storm on social media.
Public Health and Market Decline Issues Gone Out Of Hand
At the beginning of the week, Kimmel spoke against Trump administration for the decision to break contacts with infectious disease experts. This was that moment when the measles outbreak and the stock market collapse had begun, reports also showed.

On April 8, he said, “America feels like it’s backpedalling.” He connected the spike in public health issues to what he referred to as “political recklessness.” Kimmel’s commentaries echoed the rising anger in the society, particularly the healthcare sector, as well as financial instability.
Appearing on the Fourth Season of ‘Hacks’ as a Guest
He is not just sitting back and letting his studio do all the work for him. Kimmel is now stepping into a new role in scripted comedy and will be on board as a special guest in the fourth season of Hacks, the show on Max that won an Emmy.
In Episode 5, Kimmel gives life to himself—an astute and witty business insider giving a well-timed warning to Deborah Vance, the main character of the show, about attempting to steal a talk show guest. The episode this week released the first-look images, and Kimmel’s followers are elated that he is back on screen, even if it is for a short while.
His being there really shows that not only is he capable of a late-night gig, now he’s trying multiple avenues to combine his brand of humor and journalism.
Kimmel’s Role In The Current Situation
Jimmy Kimmel’s combination of jest and compassion has made him one of the key players in American popular culture for twenty years. He still comes across as relevant and quick regardless of the fact that he’s either making people laugh or standing up to the mighty.
While this year he’s off the radiance of the Oscar stage, he’s still very much on the front page—using his influence to discuss their point of view with the politicians of the day, amuse the audience, and take part in a television program that is the talk of the town.
The 2025 election season will certainly see a number of contentious issues on the table. Jimmy Kimmel is without a doubt going to have more to say.
