Jimmy Kimmel is known for his takes on hot topics. The late night show does not shy away from calling what he sees. Recently, Rudy Giuliani stirred up controversy after his appearance on The Masked Singer. Jimmy has something to say about the incident.

We reported earlier, following Rudy’s reveal on The Masked Singer, two of the show’s judges, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke walked off the set of the show in protest. Fans will have to wait a little bit longer to watch Rudy’s appearance on the show as the episode is set to hit air next month.

Meanwhile, this won’t be the first time that the Trump’s former lawyer has found himself at the center of controversy. He pulled in attention towards himself for his 2020 election denial and his avid support of former President Donald Trump. Recently, Jimmy Kimmel questioned why Fox would entertain Rudy’s appearance on the show while mocking the network with his comedic jabs.

“How does this even happen? I mean, a lot of people at Fox had to sign off on this. Not one of them was like, ‘Hey maybe we shouldn’t have the guy who’s under investigation for helping to plot an insurrection singing on our show? Only Rudy Giuliani would try to overthrow the government, break wind loudly in court, sweat hair dye all over one press conference, have another one next to a dildo store, and then try to rehabilitate his image by singing ‘Shake Your Groove Thing’ dressed as a pineapple.”

The late-night talk show host added, “Fox Network really should be ashamed of themselves,” He quipped, the network should have another show after The Masked Singer that night, called “The Masked Executives – all the Fox executives come out in costumes.” He added, “The one who greenlit this idea takes off the mask and gets voted off television forever.”

Meanwhile, neither Jeong nor Thicke have commented on their controversial walkout from the show. As of now, it’s still unclear if the network will proceed with the airing of the episode. Meanwhile, you can check out Kimmel’s take on the incident below.
