Summary

  • Jimmy Kimmel used his latest monologue to ridicule Donald Trump’s plan to attend the June 9 NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden in New York.
  • The late-night host framed the visit as Trump’s first appearance at a New York court since being convicted on 34 felony counts, drawing laughs from the audience.
  • Kimmel also mocked an AI-generated image Trump had posted of himself in a Knicks jersey and joked that he might try to “overturn the results” of the game.
  • The appearance would put Trump at a high-profile matchup between the Knicks and Spurs, with New York two wins from its first NBA title since 1973.
  • The segment extends Kimmel’s recent run of attacks on Trump, including jabs earlier this week over the president’s heavy posting on Truth Social.
