David Letterman took a dig at Donald Trump during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday (9 December).

On Tuesday (9 December), the television host, 78, called the US president a “fool”, adding that he “should expect and examine every bit of ridicule he receives”.

He also praised Kimmel as the “leader of the resistance”, to which Kimmel disagreed, branding himself as “totally ineffective”.

In September, Kimmel’s show was temporarily taken off the air after the host’s comments about the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk.
