Jimmy Kimmel on Trump Choosing Former ‘Real World’ Star Sean Duffy as Transportation Head: ‘Maybe He’ll Pick One of the Teen Moms to Be Secretary of Labor!’

As a long-time observer of American politics and pop culture, I must say that Jimmy Kimmel’s monologues have never failed to amuse me with their sharp wit and insightful commentary. His latest take on Donald Trump’s nominations is no exception. It seems like we’re living in a reality show where the stakes are higher than ever, and Kimmel is our trusted guide through this chaotic landscape.


Jimmy Kimmel remarked during his Tuesday broadcast that Trump’s selection of Fox Business anchor Sean Duffy for the position of transportation secretary was one of his less cringe-worthy choices.

Although Duffy held the position of U.S. Representative for Wisconsin between 2011 and 2019, it’s worth noting that he began his professional journey in the ’90s as a reality TV personality, a fact that late-night host Kimmel didn’t hesitate to mention.

For eight years, Duffy was a congressman, but let me tell you about his past – he used to be on ‘The Real World’ and ‘Road Rules’ on MTV,” Kimmel pointed out. “And guess who Trump hired for the secretary of transportation? None other than someone from ‘Road Rules’, since the term ‘road’ is actually included in it!

Kimmel added, “That’s one of his less shameful choices. He might select one of the Teen Moms for the position of Labor Secretary!

He cracked that Trump’s appointments are like a “season of ‘Dancing With the Stars.’” Other new nominations to Trump’s cabinet include Brendan Carr to head the FCC, Dr. Mehmet Oz as administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and former WWE executive Linda McMahon as secretary of education. To that, Kimmel asked: “What the WWF is going on here?”

Kimmel returned to the topic of Matt Gaetz, previously nominated as attorney general by Trump, who was facing scrutiny over accusations of sexual impropriety and illegal drug use before his cabinet appointment. Furthermore, he had been under federal investigation for alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl. Gaetz has refuted all the allegations made against him.

As a cinephile, I’ve learned that every plot unfolds at its own pace. Similarly, the House Ethics Committee has scheduled a meeting for Wednesday to make a decision about the release of their findings following an exhaustive investigation.

Currently under scrutiny is Matt Gaetz, often referred to as ‘the white Diddy.’ Notably, at least two women have appeared before the House Ethics Committee to allege that they received payment from Gaetz in exchange for intimate relationships.

Following the playback of a woman’s lawyer accusing Gaetz of paying them through Venmo for services, Kimmel labeled him as the “Venmolester” and stated: “It’s so foolish of Matt Gaetz to use Venmo for payments related to sex, that act alone should be sufficient reason for his disqualification.
