President Donald Trump called late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel “horrible” and questioned his talent on Saturday. He made the remarks in the Oval Office while honoring this year’s recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors.
The annual ceremony celebrates lifetime contributions to American culture. Trump's criticism of Kimmel came unprompted during the presidential event.
The President did not specify the reason for his comments. Kimmel, who hosts ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", has frequently featured political satire and criticized the Trump administration in his monologues.
