• The Oscars 2024 were held last night
  • The host was Jimmy Kimmel
  • THIS is what he said that had controversy

In a night filled with glitz, glamour, and unexpected jabs, Jimmy Kimmel turned the tables on Donald Trump with a clever comeback that had the Dolby Theatre erupting in applause.

Clapping back!

The showdown began when Trump took to Truth Social to lambaste Kimmel's hosting chops, prompting a live, on-air response from the quick-witted comedian.

Looking straight into the camera with his signature deadpan delivery, Kimmel thanked Trump for tuning in, adding a spicy quip that hinted at the former president's legal troubles.

"I'm surprised you're still [up] — isn’t it past your jail time?" he joked, sending waves of laughter through the star-studded audience.

The telecast was rife with memorable moments, from Emma Stone's Best Actress win and wardrobe oopsie to Ryan Gosling's star-studded "I'm Just Ken" performance.
