Hegseth Gets Hammered During Confirmation Hearing, Trump’s Inauguration Plans & Fire Misinformation

Wildfires continue to burn at both ends of our city with thousands of Angelenos under evacuation orders and warnings, lots of family members and friends and have been reaching out to us to check in and while we’re all very grateful, some of the outreach has been weird, we set up a donation center in our parking lot here at the show that will be open through Friday, January 17th from 10am – 6pm, we check in with Chefs Kim Prince and Greg Dooling who are feeding people in Pasadena out of their Dulanville Food Truck with World Central Kitchen, there’s a lot of misinformation running around about how and why the fires started, we are less than a week away from Donald Trump’s return to office, he is set to attend three balls and a parade, there are many musicians set to perform at his inauguration including the remaining members of The Village People who are NOT gay, Pete Hegseth was hammered during his confirmation hearing, Melania Trump made an appearance on Fox and Friends announcing that she plans to reboot “Be Best.”

Hello from Iceland it is amazing to see that comedians are doing more and are more respectable then the incoming president of your country. Hope you will get control of those fires soon, good luck.

We Australians are concerned and our heartfelt thoughts are with those families that have lost loved ones and their houses.

Love you Jimmy from Canada! Your humanity and decency is an antidote to all the hate and bile. Stay strong!

Even though the fire is tragic, Jimmy is putting the focus on the "HELPERS." Mr. Rogers taught us to look for the helpers in hard times, and right now in LA it's really easy to find them.

Jimmy, Seth, and Stephen will be keeping me sane for four more years, just like they did in El Presidumpy's first regime.

As an eastern Kentucky school teacher, whose school was flooded in July 2022 and put in a temporary building 30 miles out of the way for 2 years, who saw students and friends lose their homes, and who saw the impact of the donated supplies and the work done by WCK, thank you all for what you all are doing at the show and also for bringing attention to WCK. Just donated myself! Thank you.

I live for these monologs. They put a light spin on the friggin insanity going on right now. Thank you so much.

My heart goes out to you all in California families and pets and firefighters and all helpers

I love how Jimmy highlights the people that Mr. Rogers told us to look for: The Helpers. ❤

Thank you to ALL who are helping in various wonderful ways!!!

I donated to the World Central Kitchen. I'm in Texas, and Chef Jose has a good handle on feeding massive crowds, plus their organization can do a lot with cash more than a single person can do. I also donated to the LA animal rescue. My niece is a vet tech at the Irvine Animal Rescue and I sent them a donation too. 🙏🙏🙏for everyone affected by the fires. I lived in Anchorage during the Miller Reach fire, people lost everything and some people lost their lives. Fire fighters and the whole team behind them deserve respect.

Love and appreciate Jimmy from Canada!

OMG! Where to begin? I think THIS episode of The Jimmy Kimmel Show is the best, EVER! As Jimmy has gotten older, he has become more mature, more powerful & more handsome. The "width, depth & breadth" of his observational humor has grown exponentially.

Jimmy, you are a national treasure! The country you & I share needs you, now more than ever. Thank you for your service! That goes for your talented crew of writers also. Hope & pray you all remain safe during this vexing era of climate change & environmental disaster. ❤

[North-of-the-th]

Jimmy, you're a good person. Thank you for bringing 💙 and light to dark times. Happy MLK Day next week 💙.

My thoughts and prayers are with people of LA.
