Tiffany Haddish Mocks Trump’s July 4 Party Crowd on Kimmel as Heat Delayed 250th Birthday Speech

Q: After D.C.'s heatwave, what health research will the new NIH program tackle first?

The new NIH Health and Extreme Weather program is expected to focus immediately on extreme heat and other temperature-related stressors. In the wake of Washington’s record July 4 heat, the program’s core research agenda is to understand how heat affects human health, identify who is most at risk, and test practical ways to reduce harm. NIH materials describe priorities such as measuring short- and long-term health effects across the lifespan, with particular attention to older adults, children, pregnant people, outdoor workers, and people with chronic illnesses. The program is also designed to move beyond documenting risk. It will support studies that develop and evaluate prevention and response tools, including community interventions during heat events, better preparedness strategies, and improved links between health data and environmental exposure data. That means the emphasis is not just on heat illness itself, but on evidence-based ways to protect vulnerable populations before and during extreme weather. Administratively based at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the initiative also spans related health questions involving heart, lung, immune, mental health, and health-disparity impacts from extreme weather. But after D.C.’s heatwave, the clearest near-term target is research on extreme heat’s health effects and interventions to reduce them.

Tiffany Haddish used her guest-host turn on Monday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to mock the turnout at President Trump’s Fourth of July celebration in Washington, joking that more people attended her bat mitzvah and DUI trial.
Trump’s speech at the National Mall event on Saturday was delayed by hot, stormy weather, giving Haddish another target as she joked that some MAGA supporters sought shelter in the African American history museum.
The monologue centered on Trump’s America 250 celebration, which the New York Times described as drawing a scattered crowd.
The late-night segment was part of Haddish’s guest-host stint on “Kimmel,” where she also interviewed Octavia Spencer while “The Daily Show” remained on a brief holiday hiatus.
