Jimmy Kimmel has ridiculed Melania Trump and the upcoming Amazon documentary with a three-word jab at the film.
The talk show host mocked Melania, who had compared the importance of the upcoming film to Michael Jackson and The Rolling Stones. Melania, during an appearance at the New York Stock Exchange, said, "Visual storytelling and beautiful music create memories for a lifetime. What do you remember when you hear The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson?"
Kimmel blasted the First Lady for her comparison between the Brett Ratner-directed documentary and musicians like The Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger. He said, "Are you really trying to tell us this dumb vanity project, this corporate bribe is a work of art we're going to remember like the music of Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson.
"I mean, the only thing that reminds me of Michael Jackson is when it's bad, it's bad. You know it, and it's bad." Kimmel went on to share his surprise at crew members taking their names off of the credits to the film.
He said, "Two thirds of the crew that shot the movie in New York asked to have their names removed from the credits. Do you have any idea how bad a movie has to be for a crew member to not want a credit?
"Like remember that weird Cats movie from like five or six years ago? Everyone got their credits on that one. People keep their credits on Matt Damon movies."
Insiders confirmed some crew members had taken their names off of the film, while others called the working conditions on the project a chaotic experience. One insider, speaking to Rolling Stone, said, "People were worked really hard. Really long hours, highly disorganized, very chaotic."
Another added that the shoot "wasn't easy money. It was very difficult because of the chaos that was around everything. … Usually [for a documentary] it’s like, ‘Oh, follow the subject.’ Well, it’s Melania Trump. With the first lady and Secret Service, you can’t just do things you usually do."
Another source suggested they hope the film does not perform well. They said, “Unfortunately, if it does flop, I would really feel great about it.”

'Oh dear': Mockery abounds as Fox News host's slip-up about a famous Trump supporter
January 28, 2026
Mockery abounded on Wednesday after Fox News host Laura Ingraham misattributed one of President Donald Trump's biggest fans as the creator of a raunchy popular song.
Ingraham made a passing comment during her interview with Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) on Wednesday night, saying that pop artist Nicki Minaj wrote "W.A.P." a popular rap song that was actually written by Cardi B. and Megan Thee Stallion The slip-up happened just hours after Minaj endorsed Trump's "Trump Accounts," a billionaire-backed savings and investment account that provides $1,000 for children at birth.
Video of the slip-up was shared by the MeidasTouch Network.
Observers mocked Ingraham after she acknowledged the mistake on-air.
"We all look alike," political commentator Bakari Sellers posted on X.
"Oh dear," CNN Senior Political Reporter Aaron Blake posted on X.
"Laura probably also disapproved of Nicki getting knocked up by Stefon Diggs," journalist Robert George posted on X.
"Of all the possible reactions to Nicki Minaj joining the president at the White House today, confusing her with Megan Thee Stallion or Cardi B is probably the one that would make her the most angry!" CNN reporter DJ Judd posted on X.
"Who’s going to tell her? And would not even matter?" Todd Eberly, political science professor at St. Mary's College, posted on X.
Things got heated on CNN's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" on Wednesday as the panel tried to dissect the rationale offered by President Donald Trump's administration to justify the recent killing of an ICU nurse in Minneapolis.
Host Abby Phillip clashed with Joe Borelli, the former Republican leader of the New York City Council, over whether justifiable circumstances existed in the death of Alex Pretti, a nurse who was gunned down by a swarm of immigration agents in Minneapolis over the weekend. Borelli claimed Pretti put himself in danger by carrying his weapon while protesting. He also claimed that the whole situation could have been avoided if Minneapolis police officers cooperated with Trump's deportation operations.
"Clearly, the president thinks there needs to be some recalibration," Borelli said. "He replaced the leadership in Minnesota with Tom Homan, a change of direction at the top. You saw him pull back and ask for these DHS agents to be investigated. Ultimately, though, the president's goal, and I think Tom Homan's mission, is to get compliance in the jails, in the system, in the prison system in Minnesota. This is not a crisis of anything but a crisis of cooperation."
The conversation broke down when Phillip started digging for more specifics. She asked whether local officials should take people out of their homes and hand them over to ICE.
Phillip also pressed Borelli on his argument that anyone with an ICE detainer should be deported. A detainer is a request from an immigration agency to transfer someone in custody to the federal government for deportation.
Phillip asked Borelli to clarify the time period during which the detainer needed to have been written. When Borelli demurred, the conversation got heated
"Don't you think that's relevant information?" Phillip said to Borelli.
