Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Donald Trump Jr. during a recent episode, criticizing his wedding photos and calling him an “attention seeker.” The late-night host then humorously pretended to vomit in response to the images.
The comedic bit unfolded during Kimmel’s opening monologue on Wednesday night. As he introduced a romantic video clip of Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson, Kimmel feigned nausea, jokingly “throwing up” on his sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez.
“Over Memorial Day weekend, Don Jr., who I like to call the ‘fraudigal son,’ tied the knot with Bettina Anderson, making their union Instagram official with a honeymoon video,” Kimmel quipped.
“Now, regular folks do this kind of thing all the time. But for a sitting president’s son, this is unprecedented—and let’s hope it’s the last time,” he added.
The clip, accompanied by an acoustic rendition of the Ronettes’ 1963 classic “Be My Baby,” showcased the couple beaming and sharing a tender kiss on a picturesque Bahamian beach.
After the video played, the camera returned to Kimmel, who theatrically covered his mouth and exclaimed, “Oh. Oh, God,” playing up his mock disgust.
A powerful stream of nasty fake throw up spewed out of Kimmel’s mouth, piling onto Rodriguez.
‘Oh, I’m so sorry. Oh. Oh, gosh, I’m sorry. Very sorry. I don’t know what-‘ Kimmel said, before the bit happened again. ‘I’m sorry, Guillermo. Ugh.’

Rodriguez accepted the apology as Kimmel stammered: ‘I saw… When they started kissing, I…’ before one last spew exploded all over the sidekick.
‘Oh, I couldn’t keep it in. I, I apologize. Nothing like this ever happened before,’ the late night show host said.
However, Kimmel’s jab overlooked the fact that he had pulled similar attention-grabbing antics with photos from his own wedding.
When Kimmel wed Molly McNearney in Ojai, California, in 2013, the couple released their wedding photos exclusively to PEOPLE magazine.
At the time, numerous media outlets published photos from Kimmel’s wedding, which even featured one of his guests arriving in a wedding gown as a playful gag.
Invitations for Kimmel’s wedding asked guests to donate to charity instead of giving gifts.
Attendees included Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Howard Stern, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski, according to PEOPLE.
Kimmel proposed to McNearney the year before while they were vacationing in South Africa.

Don Jr and his partner married on May 21 and celebrated their wedding in the Bahamas on May 23.
The bride proclaimed her new status, updating her name on Instagram, with an accompanying photo – the words ‘Mrs Trump’ embroidered into an ivory gown.
In case further clarification were needed, her bio now reads: ‘Married. Not domesticated.’
The wedding on Little Pipe Cay in the Bahamas was, it seems, a blissful, joyful affair.
Around 40 people flew in to the tropical paradise to witness the ceremony – among them Trump Jr’s five children from his first marriage, and his three oldest siblings: Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany.
The groom’s father, President Donald Trump, remained in Washington DC.
Rumors abound that a larger, White House celebration is to come. But whatever the case, though the engagement lasted barely six months, the marriage was – for Bettina at least – long-awaited.
