During this heartfelt segment, he expressed deep sorrow as he addressed the widespread destruction that has affected countless lives and properties.

In his poignant opening monologue of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the talk show host candidly discussed the ongoing tragedy. He stated, “Many of us had to leave our homes in a hurry; some of our coworkers lost their homes. It’s been terrible.” This statement resonates with the reality faced by many locals, emphasizing how the fires have impacted the community profoundly.

“Everyone who lives in this city knows someone — most of us, multiple people; family, friends, colleagues, neighbors — whose houses have burned down,” Jimmy continued. “And the truth is, we don’t even know if it’s over. We had 100 mph winds fueling this nightmare and as of tonight, winds are back.” His words highlight the uncertainty and fear gripping the residents of Los Angeles during this harrowing time.

In a moment of reflection, Jimmy acknowledged the dual nature of the experience, saying, “I think I speak for all of us when I say it’s been a sickening, shocking, awful experience but it’s also been, in a lot of ways, a beautiful experience because, once again, we see our fellow men and women coming together to support each other.” He noted that those who lost their homes were actively volunteering in parking lots, helping others in similar situations, showcasing the strength and resilience of the community.

Furthermore, Jimmy did not shy away from addressing the controversial comments made by Donald Trump during this crisis. He expressed his outrage, saying, “Tonight I don’t want to get into all the vile and irresponsible and stupid things our future president and his gaggle of scumbags chose to say during our darkest and most terrifying hour.” He criticized Trump’s choice to attack firefighters who were courageously battling the flames, declaring that such behavior is “disgusting but not surprising.” Instead, he emphasized the importance of gratitude towards these brave individuals who risk their lives for the safety of others.
