Donald Trump is set to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25, 2026, but the event won’t include its usual centerpiece – a comedian roasting the president. Instead, the White House Correspondents’ Association picked mentalist Oz Pearlman as the headliner. Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t having it. On his show, the late-night host delivered a nine-minute roast of Trump and his administration, filling the comedy void the WHCA left wide open.
According to The Daily Beast, Kimmel kicked off his monologue by calling Trump “a delicate snowflake with the thinnest fat skin of any human being ever,” explaining why the dinner’s organizers skipped hiring a comedian this year. To make up for the missing laughs, Kimmel stepped in, serving up jokes that covered everything from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal to Trump’s foreign policy moves.
