Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel is once again drawing attention for taking aim at President Donald Trump and his administration—this time by spotlighting an old high school video of senior White House adviser Stephen Miller.
During a recent episode of The Jimmy Kimmel Show!, Kimmel introduced footage from Miller’s teenage years, showing him speaking during a student election at his high school. The clip, which has circulated online in the past, was presented as part of Kimmel’s ongoing criticism of Trump-era officials.
In the video, a young Miller questions school rules related to student responsibilities, comments that reportedly drew pushback from classmates at the time. Kimmel used the moment to suggest that Miller’s outspoken style has remained consistent into adulthood.
The footage also shows Miller engaging in a dispute with another student and appearing to argue with a school authority figure before being escorted out of the gymnasium. Kimmel framed the incident as emblematic of Miller’s political persona today.
The segment is part of a broader pattern in which Kimmel has repeatedly criticized Trump and members of his administration. The comedian has made Trump a frequent target of jokes, monologues, and award-show remarks, often prompting backlash from conservative viewers.
Kimmel’s commentary has not been without consequences. In September, his program was briefly suspended following remarks that referenced the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, an incident that reignited debate over standards in late-night television and political commentary.
President Trump has previously criticized Kimmel publicly and has called for greater accountability from networks that allow politically charged humor aimed at conservatives while, critics argue, avoiding similar scrutiny of progressive figures.
For many viewers, the latest segment highlights what they see as a broader media double standard—where late-night hosts increasingly blur the line between comedy and partisan activism, often focusing their sharpest criticism on Trump and those associated with his administration.
