“Jimmy Kimmel Live” guest host Diego Luna on Tuesday said his criticism of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies earlier this week was covered widely by the media ― including Fox News.
“If Fox News is talking about it, that means I’m probably on Donald Trump’s radar now,” the “Andor” star said.
So the Mexican-born actor had his luggage packed and on the stage in case he needed to make a quick departure, and had a “lawyer” listening in to warn him if he went too far with his Trump jokes. He tested that setup with a crack about first lady Melania Trump.
“Why does Donald Trump want to screw immigrants?” he asked the studio audience, then answered: “Because the one he married won’t screw him!”
The audience erupted as the “lawyer” sternly shook her head.
Luna sarcastically referred to Trump as a “political genius,” then rolled footage of the president complaining that Israel and Iran “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” amid reports of ceasefire violations.
“That’s what many people say about him, right?” Luna snarked. “He doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing!”
The on-set “lawyer” didn’t like that joke either.
Luna is the first in a series of guest hosts as Kimmel takes the summer off. See his full monologue below:
