A week after garnering controversy for a joke about Melania Trump looking like a widow, another ill-timed joke landed Kimmel in the hot seat. Kimmel recently fired back at Rudy Giuliani after the former mayor called out the comedian over the widow joke. Kimmel mocked Giuiania's appearance as being a step from the grave.
Now, Giuliani is in the hospital in critical condition.
"So last night, America's mayor, Rudy Giuliani, rose from the grave. To weigh in on the ongoing drama involving me," Kimmel said last week. "I have to say. It hurts to be called distasteful by a man who farted his own pants off in front of Borat's daughter."
Jimmy Kimmel Garners More Backlash
Kimmel's remarks come after the former NYC mayor called out the comedian for his recent jokes.
"Kimmel was making believe that he was hosting the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which I think he did once, I don't know. Probably once ... and about four people probably watched it, and he bombed like usual," he said.
"This is supposed to be a comedian," Giuliani also said"He's also like an incompetent jacka—."
Kimmel didn't let the remarks slide. The comedian went after Giuliani.
"I have to say, it's confusing to be called an incompetent jacka— by a man who accidentally held a press conference outside a d--do store, who doesn't seem to have any understanding of when videos are running and when they aren't, and has a gallon of squid ink dribbling off the top of his head," Kimmel said.
"Does this man have any family members who can come get him already?" Kimmel also asked.
Just days after the back and forth, Giuliani is now in the hospital.
"Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition," the spokesperson said in a statement.
"Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he's fighting with that same level of strength as we speak. We do ask that you join us in prayer for America's mayor — Rudy Giuliani."
