Summary
Two months of summer fill-ins on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show will include Rosie O'Donnell, whom Kimmel said he booked as a "special treat" for President Donald Trump during his voluntary break.
Kimmel unveiled a broader guest-host lineup starting with Tiffany Haddish, Colman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson and Jelly Roll, framing O'Donnell as the most pointed choice.
O'Donnell has recently sharpened her attacks on Trump, calling him a conman, narcissist and psychopath at the Tony Awards and telling Jim Acosta's podcast on Thursday that she believes Kamala Harris won the 2024 election.
Ireland has become O'Donnell's base since Trump's 2024 victory, underscoring how her appearance would extend a long-running public feud into Kimmel's summer absence.
