ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel was next in line to assist former First Lady Michelle Obama in promoting her new memoir. On Thursday night’s show, the liberal host used that opportunity to beg Obama to convince her husband to enter politics again, comparing him to Superman and President Trump to his evil arch nemesis, Lex Luthor.

As Obama walked on stage, the overzealous crowd caused Obama to remark, “I’m going to cry!” as Kimmel gushed, “You see how much we miss you?I mean, we really -- where did you go?” He added, “We need you back in the old house [White House]!”

Though Obama downplayed his remarks, Kimmel kept gushing about how much the country missed the Obamas, and begged Michelle to let her husband come back and save the world from an evil villain, ie: Trump: Can I tell you how we we feel? We feel like -- do you remember the first Superman movie, Christopher Reeve, when he gave up his powers to save Lois Lane's life and then he was powerless and then he got beat up in a diner and he had to get his powers back to come save us from Lex Luthor? That's what we need from you and your husband!

During Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, the eponymous host took several shots at President Trump during his opening monologue. It did not take long for Kimmel to begin mocking the people donating to the GoFundMe page set up to secure money for the border wall, claiming that “a lot of these people are dipping into their meth money for this.”

Kimmel began by talking about the President’s upcoming vacation, where he remarked that “Mike Pence will be checked into a kennel and the President will jet to Mar-a-Lago.” Kimmel predicted that “this could be the last Christmas Don Jr. will be able to spend with his dad without being separated by a glass partition,” as the crowd erupted into laughter. After recycling left-wing talking points on government shutdowns, Kimmel informed his audience that Trump “might not need Mexico or Congress to pay for the wall at all because there are some very dopey people ready to pay for it themselves.”

At this point, Kimmel explained how a Trump supporter named Brian Kolfage started a GoFundMe campaign dedicated to securing funding for the wall that had reached $9 million at the time of Thursday’s broadcast. Kimmel went on to mock the people who have donated to the campaign for “donating money for a wall that will never exist, it’s like starting a college fund for Harry Potter,” advising them that “a more useful thing to do with your money would be to go outside and feed it to a bird.”

Kimmel sarcastically added: “But you do have to admire the sacrifice they’re making. I mean, a lot of these people are dipping into their meth money for this.”

Kimmel's eyes teared up and his voice cracked as he condemned Trump for offering "thoughts and prayers" instead of taking action to prevent gun violence.

“You still haven’t done anything, nothing, you’ve literally done nothing,” Kimmel said. “Actually, you’ve done worse than nothing.”
