Jimmy Kimmel shared his enthusiasm about the news that an American was elected the new pope while making fun of the president Donald Trump And the right figures which are upset by the selection.
“An American pope!” Kimmel said at the top of the episode of Thursday evening (May 8) of Jimmy Kimmel Live! “The Popemobile is now a Ford F-250 with truck nuts.”
The end of evening host referred to Robert Prevost, from Chicago, who was elected the new Pope on Thursday and now took the Papal Leo XIV name.
“I am actually surprised by my excitement,” continued Kimmel. “An American who grew up here, watched all the programs we watched, rooted for the teams, is now in Rome at the head of the church. Italy and America … It must have been what it looked like when they opened Olivier’s first garden. ”
After showing a clip from Rome of Nuns “screaming with excitement”, Kimmel said: “I saw this in the first hand. No joke. The nuns go crazy about the pope. Like Full-on BTS, One Direction, 1990 New Kids on the Block. ”
He added: “When I was at the university, I went to a Mass in the Vatican, I was almost trampled on by a line of crazy and excited nuns … Oh, yes, they were excited. Do not be mistaken. All these years of chastity broke out when they looked at John Paul in this little Yarmulke Skmpy he wears.”

Kimmel then turned his attention to President Trump, whom he called “Pope Pompous on the 18th” and “the Archbishop of Ranterbury”.
“Trump was not elected by the conclave,” added the actor. “Another election was faked against him, but he said he was looking forward to meeting the New Chicago Pope. Wait until he discovers how many times this new Pope has criticized him.”
After having fun in various right commentators for their anger against the new pope, Kimmel joked: “Trump just struck the Vatican with a price of 80% on the pointed hats.”
“So congratulations to him,” concluded Kimmel. “This is a historical era in which we live. We have an American pope and a Russian president. ”
Elsewhere in Thursday’s monologue, Kimmel approached Trump’s new trade agreement with the United Kingdom, which will see the Americans pay essentially a triple in taxes on British products.
“It is very proud of itself to have concluded a trade agreement with a country with which we exchange very well until it fucks everything,” said Kimmel before emphasizing how companies like Rolls Royce obtained a special break within the framework of the agreement.
“Rest easy, Ma and Pa Maga Hat,” joked Kimmel. “You will always lose the farm, but you will only have to pay 10% more on this Rolls-Royce that you have had an eye.”
