Summary
Thursday's finale saw Rosie O'Donnell end her week on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" with fresh attacks on Donald Trump, thanking viewers and mocking the president as a "hungry, hungry hypocrite in the White House."
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle answered with a personal insult, calling O'Donnell a "nasty woman" and saying her brain had been destroyed by "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
The 64-year-old comedian had used all 4 nights of her guest-hosting stint to target Trump, including Wednesday remarks about Natalie Harp and earlier jokes that credited him with reviving her fame.
The exchange extends a feud dating to 2006, after O'Donnell criticized Trump on "The View"; she later moved to Ireland after the 2024 election and has since returned to the U.S. for the Kimmel appearances.
