What did Molly McNearney do about the Jimmy Kimmel-Trump controversy?
Molly was the co-executive producer of the awards telecast and revealed that she was unsure of this move. In an interview with Variety Molly also added “I will tell you, I’m really not proud of this, but I tried to talk Jimmy out of reading that,” and said further, “I feel like my instincts are usually right, but I was totally off on that."
She also said the joke was a “risk” as giving any airtime to Trump can mean more controversies.

What did Jimmy Kimmel do at the Oscars 2024?
Jimmy Kimmel didn’t agree with his wife and created an Oscar moment that would be etched as one of the funniest moments in the History of the Academy Awards. The 56-year-old had replied on stage about a comment Trump made on his social media after listening to Jimmy’s opening monologue at Oscars. While everyone found it funny and interesting, Trump found it “less than average” and a speech where Jimmy was “trying too hard”. He even called the show “boring”.
Despite being warned by wife Molly, as Jimmy later revealed in an interview, he still went ahead and asked this about Trump, "I'm surprised you're still [up] — isn’t it past your jail time?"
The audience was laughing out loud. Kimmel later opened up in an interview about this incident and said that as the night was ending producers wanted Jimmy to kill some time and the Donald Trump post came in handy. However, Kimmel also reveals how he would never win an argument in his household again.
