TL.BREAKING: “QUIET, PIGGY!” Jimmy Kimmel Fires Back After Trump Demands His Show Be Taken Off the Air — and the Internet Can’t Stop Laughing

Jimmy Kimmel just set social media ablaze with a blistering response after Donald Trump went on a rampage, demanding ABC “kick Kimmel off the air” for joking about the Epstein cover-up. Trump posted a series of late-night tweets, calling Kimmel “incompetent,” “a disaster,” and calling on the network to “take him off the air” immediately. But instead of backing down, Kimmel turned Trump’s tantrum into fuel to ignite his show.

In the opening, Kimmel revealed what had the audience laughing: Trump posted just minutes after the show ended on the East Coast. That means one thing — he watched every episode, watched it live, and even watched it so intensely that he went on a rampage as soon as the show went off the air. “That’s not an anti-fan,” Kimmel joked, “that’s a fan.”

Kimmel continued with a tirade that sent the studio into a frenzy: Trump complained about the show’s ratings, to which Kimmel responded in a completely emotionless tone: “Someone who’s turned a loss into a win must know what ratings are.” It was like pouring salt into a wound that Trump was most sensitive to.

Then Kimmel revealed an unbearably funny truth: every few weeks, Trump asks ABC to “fire” him. Kimmel said that if a neighbor had done that, he would have filed a restraining order long ago. The audience roared with laughter at the irony — Trump hates Kimmel but still watches every episode he appears on.

And then the final straw sent the internet into a meme storm: Kimmel looked straight into the camera and said, “I’ll be off the air when you’re off politics. Let’s ride off into the sunset. For now — quiet, piggy!” The last three words were like a spark thrown into the social media gas tank: the hashtag #QuietPiggy exploded, the video went viral on Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, turning this war of words into the biggest joke of the week.

Many commented that with all the big problems in the country, it was strange that Trump still had the “free time” to get angry at a late-night host. But that was exactly what made Kimmel absolutely win: every time Trump got angry, Kimmel had more material to joke about, the audience laughed again, and the situation started a new cycle. An endless loop — and it seemed like only one person had a bruised ego, while the other was enjoying his own show.
