Trump Launches New Attack On Jimmy Kimmel With Completely Bonkers Late-Night Question
HuffPost
The former president went after all three network TV late-night hosts.
Donald Trump on Monday attacked late-night hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel, then asked a question that had critics wondering if the former president knows what decade it is.
“Where’s Johnny Carson?” Trump asked at a Pennsylvania event as he railed against the current crop of late-night talk show hosts on network TV. “Bring back Johnny.”
Carson hosted “The Tonight Show” for 30 years, and his name became synonymous with the format. But he left the public eye almost completely after he retired in 1992. He died in 2005. Jay Leno and then Conan O’Brien were hosts of the show after Carson retired and before Jimmy Fallon took over in 2014.
Trump attacked Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Fallon, although he didn’t mention them by name.
“These three guys, they’re so bad, all three of ’em, all three of ’em” he said.
