Comedian Rosie O’Donnell, who guest hosts ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” while Jimmy Kimmel is away, uses her monologues to criticize President Donald Trump. In her opening segments, she repeatedly addresses him directly on camera or through indirect references, while also talking at length about her life after moving to Ireland. Multiple outlets report that she largely avoids using Trump’s name, but clearly refers to him through nicknames and mockery.

Across coverage, O’Donnell’s tone blends jokes with sharper political barbs. Her material includes “buckle up” remarks framed around Trump’s alleged dislike of the show, as well as comments about attention from the president. Reports also note that her debut week references her prior TV career and her earlier feud with Trump, which dates back decades. One outlet describes her later-night hosting as including a Trump-targeted song urging him to resign.

Outlet angles differ mainly in emphasis: some highlight her direct on-camera taunting (“I know you’re watching”), others focus on the Ireland backdrop and her approach of never naming him, and some foreground the feud history or the musical send-off at the end of her run.
