Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel makes remarks about former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani that circulate shortly before Giuliani is rushed to a hospital in critical condition. Multiple outlets report that on April 28, Kimmel delivers a joke referencing Giuliani’s health and a “grave” theme. In the segment, Kimmel says that “America’s mayor Rudy Giuliani” “rose from the grave to weigh in” on an ongoing media drama involving Kimmel, and he airs a clip from Giuliani’s “America’s Mayor Live” show. The reports describe the comment as ill-timed given Giuliani’s subsequent hospitalisation. One outlet characterizes the remark as mocking Giuliani’s health and notes the proximity between the joke and Giuliani being taken to hospital. Another outlet similarly reports the wording of Kimmel’s “rose from the grave” line and links it to the April 28 broadcast. Across coverage, the key point is that Kimmel’s on-air joke about Giuliani “rising from the grave” occurs days before Giuliani is reported to be rushed to hospital in critical condition.
