Jimmy Kimmel is reveling in the absurdity of being sued by former Congressman George Santos, dubbing it the “most preposterous lawsuit of all time.” On his Monday night monologue, Kimmel broke his silence on the legal action brought by Santos, who alleges that Kimmel and his show deceived him by requesting personalized videos on Cameo under false pretenses.
Disgraced Former Congressman George Santos
Kimmel ridiculed Santos’s claims, pointing out the irony of the former congressman, who faces federal indictment on 23 counts of wire fraud and identity theft, accusing others of deception. “George Santos, a man who has built a career on lies, is suing me for using a fake name under false pretenses,” Kimmel joked.
The late-night host also poked fun at Santos’s decision to join Cameo after his expulsion from Congress, quipping that the former lawmaker is “trying to make a buck off his newfound fame as a disgraced politician.” Kimmel further mocked Santos’s legal representation, likening his law firm to “Pot, Kettle and Black.”
Throughout the monologue, Kimmel’s humor was laced with sarcasm as he marveled at the audacity of Santos’s lawsuit. “This is so good,” Kimmel exclaimed. “I mean, this is like getting sued for paternity by Nick Cannon.” The audience roared with laughter, sharing Kimmel’s amusement at the absurdity of the situation.
