It started with a moment so bizarre it almost didnât feel real. In the middle of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Kash PatelâTrumpâs handpicked choice to run the FBIâsnapped at a reporter and called her âquiet, piggy.â That clip alone spread like wildfire.

But Jimmy Kimmel wasnât done. Not even close.
Because on live TV, Kimmel unleashed one of the most devastating comedic takedowns of the Trump orbit in months. And Kash Patel, already drowning in bad press, walked straight into the blast zone.
Kimmel opened the monologue with the weariness of a man whoâd spent the entire week force-feeding himself political insanity and finally snapped. He didnât stroll onstage. He stormed inâface already arranged into the âI cannot believe these people existâ expression America has grown to love.
Then he introduced Patel the way only Kimmel could:
âKooky Kash Patel. The guy Trump wants to run the FBI.â
The audience laughed before Kimmel even finished explaining how absurd that sounded. Patelâwho delivers every sentence like heâs starring in a low-budget spy thrillerâmade it too easy. And Kimmel took full advantage.

He roasted Patelâs Senate testimony, which was supposed to be serious and authoritative, but instead resembled a man trying to stop a crime spree while simultaneously forgetting what the crime was. He pointed out Patelâs dramatic tone, his combative answers, his inability to respond to basic questionsâeven from Republicans.
Then came the clip that destroyed whatever credibility Patel had left.
Senator John Kennedy asked the simplest question imaginable:
âWho, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these women to besides himself?â
Patelâs answer?
âHimself.â
Then: âThere is no credible information.â

The audience reacted the way anyone would watching a magician insist a rabbit exists because he spiritually believes in it, even though the hat is empty and everyone can see that itâs empty.
Kimmelâs comedic demolition continued. He compared Patelâs seriousness to âa man who thinks heâs Jason Bourne but keeps tripping over garden hoses.â Every time Patel dodged a question, Kimmel reenacted it with the resigned exhaustion of a parent watching a toddler confidently explain impossible physics.
And then he went after Trump.
The moment Trumpâs name hit the air, Kimmel shifted into full theatrical mode. No whisper. No slow build. Opera-level drama.

He framed Trumpâs endless need to insert himself into the news cycle as a subscription service no one asked for but cannot opt out ofâan auto-renewing narcissism package that charges your brain monthly.
He showed clips of Trump shouting âfake newsâ at basic questions, bragging about irrelevant nonsense, and tying every scandal back to how âtremendously successfulâ his administration supposedly was.
Trumpâs voice, Kimmel joked, was the audio equivalent of someone blowing a trumpet inside an elevatorâloud, unavoidable, painfully confined.
The dagger came when Kimmel highlighted Patelâs refusal to release the Epstein files his team promised. He described Patelâs defensive attitudeâsnippy, sweaty, dodgy, and unnecessarily hostile. Viewers watched Patelâs entire persona crumble as he failed to offer any transparency, stumbling into every trap of his own making.
But the night wasnât done.
Kimmel pivoted to Trumpâs latest meltdown: his abrupt âdivorceâ from Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump announced the split in a Truth Social post so sloppy he couldnât even muster a proper nickname, calling her âWacky Marjgery Trader.â
Kimmel compared the fallout to âthe most shocking celebrity breakup since Hall & Oates.â The crowd howled.
What made the monologue so devastating wasnât just the jokesâit was how accurately it exposed the dysfunction inside Trumpworld. Patel trying to act like an intelligence hero. Trump trying to act like a victim. Both failing in real time.
Kimmel didnât need exaggeration. All he had to do was point at the screen and say, âLook.â
And America did.
Which is exactly why Kash Patel spent the next 24 hours erupting online, spinning, posting, ragingâbecause deep down, he knows what everyone saw:
Jimmy Kimmel didnât just mock him.
He made him look small.
