Rosie O’Donnell stepped into the spotlight on Monday as the guest host for “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Anticipation ran high, with many assuming she would target President Donald Trump during her opening monologue. However, she surprised her audience by avoiding any direct mention of him.
O’Donnell, a well-known comedian, took over for Jimmy Kimmel, who has previously been criticized by the president. Her presence added intrigue to the episode, but she chose a different path than expected, focusing on other comedic material.
This decision by O’Donnell to steer clear of Trump-related jokes during her monologue may have caught viewers off guard. It reflects her ability to create humor without leaning into predictable political commentary—illustrating versatility in her comedic style.
Her appearance follows a recent guest spot on Seth Meyers’s show in July, where her comedic prowess was similarly displayed.
