Jimmy Kimmel hilariously mocks VP debate: "I like these better with Trump"

Jimmy Kimmel has a love-hate dynamic with Donald Trump. He makes it clear every single episode of his talk show that he disagrees with the former President's policies. He does, however, derive a lot of joy and material from making fun of Trump.

Kimmel knows that the controversial politician is always going to say or do something that will turn heads. He was especially appreciative of this quality during the recent Vice Presidential debate in New York. The host broke assessed JD Vance and Tim Walz, and ultimately came to the conclusion that he wanted more excitement.

Kimmel was surprised by how polite both men were

Jimmy Kimmel noted that both Vance and Walz "stuck to the issues" and "showed each other a lot of respect" during the debate. As a result, the comedian was thoroughly underwhelmed:

"It was, uh, very boring... I’ll be honest, I like these better with Trump, I really do."

The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host is usually unrelenting when it comes to his Trump roasts, to the point where he recently brought out his wife to lay into the former President. There was no such need for the VP candidates, however.

Kimmel made a few cracks about Tim Walz's serious demeanor, and how it differed from the silly and seemingly friendly persona he showcases during his public appearances. "I kept waiting," he noted. "For [Walz] to reach down behind his podium and come up with a corndog and a baby pig."

Kimmel admitted he felt bad for JD Vance

Kimmel was a bit more cutting when it came to JD Vance, but even then, he took a more pitiable angle to Trump's running mate. Why? Well, because he's Trump's running mate. And because JD Vance had previously denounced Trump before he was chosen to be the Republican VP nominee.:

" You kind of feel sympathy for JD Vance... It’s kind of like being Diddy’s defense attorney."

Ultimately, Kimmel came to the same conclusion that many other comedians and pundits did, which is that, while moderately entertaining, the Vice Presidential debate is going to do little to sway U.S. voters.
