Jimmy Kimmel is no stranger to taking jabs at President Donald Trump on TV, so it’s no surprise that he poked fun at Trump in his 2026 Critics Choice Awards acceptance speech.
Kimmel and the crew of Jimmy Kimmel Live! took home the win for Best Talk Show during the Sunday, January 4, awards show. “A FIFA Peace Prize would have been better, but this is nice, too,” the late-night host joked, referring to how Trump received the 2026 FIFA World Cup’s inaugural award.
