Jimmy Kimmel's Emotional Response to LA Wildfires and Trump's Criticism

Jimmy Kimmel, the host of a popular late-night talk show, shared his feelings about the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. He explained that the fires had been scary and stressful for many people. Some had to leave their homes quickly, and some even lost their homes. Kimmel said that many people in the city knew someone who had lost their home. He also mentioned that the fires might not be over yet, as strong winds were expected again. Kimmel was grateful for the support that people were showing each other. He saw many instances where people who had lost their own homes were helping others. This made him feel that, despite the terrible situation, there was still beauty in people coming together.

The host also had some strong words for the future president, Donald Trump. Kimmel was upset that Trump had criticized the firefighters who were risking their lives to help others. Instead of focusing on this, Kimmel wanted to thank the firefighters and other helpers. He gave a special shout-out to firefighters from other states and countries, as well as to local reporters and actors like Steve Guttenberg who were helping out. Kimmel's show had been on hold due to the fires, but it resumed on Monday. He thanked his parent company, Disney, for donating $15 million to help with the fires. He also encouraged viewers to support the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). Kimmel had personally taken in 19 people and 4 dogs, and he joked about how hard it was to decide what to take when evacuating. Several Hollywood stars, including Snoop Dogg and members of the band Dawes, appeared on the show. They had all lost their homes in the fires. Kimmel's show also set up a donation center to provide essential items to those in need.
