Kimmel referenced the deployment of the National Guard to Los angeles amid protests, which MAGA circles have described as hazardous riots. He quipped about surviving the “post-apocalyptic hellscape of Los Angeles,” contrasting the perceived chaos with Trump’s relaxed evening at the theater.
“I mean, you were able to dodge the pipe bombs and the hand grenades to get in here? It’s like ‘Grand Theft Auto’ meets ‘The Walking Dead’ out there, you know?” kimmel joked, highlighting the perceived exaggeration of the situation in los Angeles.
Kimmel also drew attention to the irony of Trump, who has faced accusations of authoritarian tendencies, attending a musical centered on revolution. He noted the play depicts “the people standing up against their king.”
“the rebellion happens in act two[of[of[of[ofLes Misérables]. Or, I should say, it usually happens in act two. After act one last night, [Donald] Trump called in the National Guard and squashed the whole thing,” Kimmel said.
He likened Trump’s attendance at Les Misérables to “Kanye [West] going to Fiddler on the Roof,” suggesting a disconnect between the subject matter and the individual.

Kimmel is expected to continue addressing political and social issues in his monologues, using humor to critique and comment on current events.
