REMEMBER THE LAST time you were called an ‘ass clown’ on live television?

Nah, us neither, but Jimmy Kimmel sure as hell does, and that’s because it was as recently as this week.

As per usual, the chat show host opened his late night programme with a monologue, and last night’s was dedicated to the fact that Fox correspondent, Sean Hannity, had only gone and called him an ‘ass clown’.

No wait, an ‘ass clown’ and a ‘despicable disgrace’.

It appears Hannity took umbrage with Kimmel’s recent commentary on Melania Trump’s contribution to the White House’s annual Easter festivities.

This is brutal. Liberal, Jimmy Kimmel, making fun of the First Lady of the United States and her involvement in the White House Easter Egg Roll… even her accents. Jimmy, you’re a despicable disgrace.  Ass clown, Kimmel. I gotta tell you something. What a disgrace. Hey Mr Kimmel, that’s her fifth language. How many do you speak?

Responding to Hannity, Jimmy joked that he spoke six, before saying: “I don’t speak ass clown though. What even is an ass clown?”

I was thinking about it this morning. Is it an ass that’s a clown or is it a clown that actually lives in an ass? Like a little Bozo burning in your buttcheeks?

Jimmy finishes the monologue by suggesting Hannity is purposefully deflecting attention onto Kimmel when there are much more important events unfolding in US politics.

This is the guy who defended the multiply alleged paedophile Roy Moore, and I’m a despicable disgrace? I’m the ass clown? If I’m the ass clown, and I might very well be, you Sean are the whole ass circus.

And he didn’t stop there.

I appreciate how compassionate you’ve suddenly become to the plight of immigrants in this country in the last 24 hours. Do you know what I think is disrespectful to the First Lady? Cheating on her with a porn star after she has a baby.
