Jimmy Kimmel sprang into action after jurors in Donald Trump’s criminal case came back with a verdict after 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, crafting a new monologue for the occasion in a crunch. Writers for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," which shoots at 5 p.m. Pacific Time on the day of broadcast, had just three hours to nail down new material, but they pulled it off.
“We had to re-write the whole monologue. It was a mess,” Kimmel joked. “It was a big afternoon in New York and for the United States of America.”
