Jimmy Kimmel Ignites Late-Night Firestorm With Scathing “Double Roast” of Mike Johnson and Donald Trump
Jimmy Kimmel set off a late-night firestorm this week after unleashing a blistering comedy bit aimed squarely at House Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Donald Trump — a rapid-fire “double roast” that sent his studio audience into complete chaos.
The eruption began the moment Kimmel held up a mock document labeled “Johnson–Trump Disaster Notes.” The crowd broke instantly into gasps, shrieks, and hysterical laughter as Kimmel tore through a series of razor-sharp punchlines that skewered both Republican figures in quick succession. Even seasoned viewers remarked that Kimmel seemed to be operating at a whole new comedic voltage.
But the on-stage pandemonium was nothing compared to what reportedly unfolded behind the scenes.
According to GOP insiders, Johnson was furious as the segment aired — demanding to know who leaked details or talking points that appeared to fuel Kimmel’s jokes. Aides were said to be scrambling to manage the fallout, working phones in real time as the bit gained traction online. Trump’s circle, sources claim, was not far behind, setting off its own wave of frantic calls as they tried to assess the damage.
Meanwhile, the internet has taken the moment and run with it.
Clips of the segment have exploded across social platforms, spawning memes, reaction videos, and a surge of commentary labeling it one of Kimmel’s sharpest, boldest takedowns of the year. Many viewers praised the host for “saying what everyone was thinking,” while others expressed shock at how far the segment went — even by late-night standards.
Whether the controversy dies down or intensifies, one thing is clear: Jimmy Kimmel’s “double roast” has already carved out a place in the late-night highlight reel of 2025.
