Nicole Byer, stand-in for Jimmy Kimmel, provides an unusual demonstration based on Trump's recent D.C. discourse
Nicole Byer, the comedian who recently guest-hosted on "Jimmy Kimmel Live", made a humorous commentary on President Trump's actions and statements during her appearance on the show on January 6, 2021.
Byer is known for her sharp and humorous critiques of Trump, often directly addressing his false claims and controversial actions with biting humor. In August 2025, as guest host on "Jimmy Kimmel Live", Byer mocked Trump by sarcastically suggesting that if someone "is really good at acting like a baby, you could get your own OnlyFans page or become president of the United States," a clear jab at his demeanor and behavior[1]. She also delivered blunt reminders countering Trump's false claims about crime[2].
The specific remarks made by Byer on January 6, 2021, are not detailed in the search results, but given her style and the date coinciding with the Capitol riot, it is likely her commentary was similarly critical and forthright, possibly addressing the events of that day or Trump's role in them.
During her monologue, Byer made a blunt remark about President Donald Trump's false claims about crime in the District of Columbia. She referenced the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot in her remark[3]. However, Byer later took a more flattering tone towards President Trump, praising him as "the smartest man alive" and "hangs like a tarantula" in response to his statements while announcing plans to take control of the police force in the District of Columbia[4].
The newsroom of HuffPost, which is committed to providing unflinching, fact-based journalism to its readers, remained strong during uncertain times due to initial reader support[5]. The outlet is asking for continued support from its readers[6]. For those who missed Byer's monologue on "Jimmy Kimmel Live", there is an advertisement available for more of her Monday monologue[7].
