'They made this in mere hours': 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' writers praised for hilarious roasts in 'the House is lava' segment
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The GOP is in disarray after Kevin McCarthy was fired as Speaker of the House of Representatives. The Republican party, finding no obvious way forward, has fallen back on the tactics of blame-shifting.
The turmoil surrounding the Speaker has become a source of amusement for the writers of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’, who have received accolades for their humorous roasts in the 'House is Lava' segment.
People have been praising and greeting the late-night show's writers for the past two days since it began again after the WGA strike.
'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' writers are renowned for their funny roasts and segments.
'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'s 'The House is Lava' segment
Kimmel’s comments brought his audience up-to-date on the recent upheaval following the unprecedented dismissal of McCarthy from the position of House Speaker.
Kimmel began his monologue by asking the audience if they were following the goings on in Congress, "We got a new episode of The House Floor is Lava last night."
“The search is now on for a new speaker after the Maga monkeys kicked out Kevin McCarthy,” Kimmel went on.
"The ins and outs of how it happened… they’re complicated. Basically, Kevin McCarthy went through the political equivalent of getting his pants down in front of the whole school and then having a squirrel bite you on the penis."
Kimmel also remarked about Trump, "McCarthy was ousted by the lunatic fringe of his own party. It’s first time ever in the history of this country a speaker has been removed. So now they need a new speaker and the clan mom Marjorie Taylor Greene has a great idea. She thinks it should be Donald Trump."
Following that, Kimmel presented a tape of the Georgia congresswoman declaring, "Anyone that wants to run for Speaker, the only way to earn my vote is to be President Trump."
He paused and said, "Marge, he's never gonna have sex with you. He's a married man," Kimmel jokingly said, to the laughter of the audience.
