Rosie O'Donnell guest-hosts Jimmy Kimmel, opens with mocking Trump YMCA dance

Rosie O'Donnell guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night and used a subtle approach to troll President Donald Trump, never mentioning his name directly. She opened with a mocking version of Trump's YMCA dance and warned the audience to 'buckle up' if they thought Trump hated the show when Kimmel hosted. Much of her monologue focused on her move to Ireland after Trump won the 2024 election, recounting how her child told classmates they were leaving because the president hates her mother, but her mother hates him more. She addressed the camera directly, saying 'I know you're watching,' but largely avoided direct references to Trump until the end, when she quipped that he was 'in the White House crying' because she hadn't mentioned him. O'Donnell is filling in for Kimmel all week.
