Jimmy Kimmel has turned his summer break into something of a tradition, stepping away from his late-night hosting duties and handing the reins over to celebrity guest hosts. This week, Jelly Roll took over the show for a four-night run from August 24 through 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his time behind the desk, the country star welcomed several high-profile guests, including actor Glen Powell, author Jay Shetty, comedian Leanne Morgan, and musical guest Stevie Nicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On his first night hosting, Jelly Roll made a joke about President Donald Trump that quickly drew criticism from some viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cSave Me\u201d singer referenced a Washington Post<\/em> report about Trump\u2019s reported weight gain, which placed his weight at nearly 240 pounds and discussed concerns raised by his doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jelly Roll, who has publicly documented his dramatic weight-loss journey over the past three years, joked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat means I\u2019ve lost an entire Donald Trump\u2026 And let\u2019s be honest, based on his approval ratings, it seems like most of the country wants to do the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n He then sarcastically suggested that people should not make jokes about someone\u2019s weight because the President would \u201cnever\u201d do that himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The show then aired a compilation of clips featuring Trump making remarks that some viewers have described as fat-shaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jelly Roll followed up by saying, \u201cWell, if that ain\u2019t the pot calling the kettle fat,\u201d before adding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, Mr. President, from one fat pig to another, take it from me that physical fitness is very important.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The comments quickly became a topic of discussion online, with viewers expressing different opinions about the comedian-style jokes and Jelly Roll\u2019s decision to address Trump in that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch the full segment in the video below.<\/strong> Please note that some language may not be suitable for younger audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
