Jimmy Kimmel, the renowned late-night host, is slated to be the star attraction at a high-profile Los Angeles fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. This comes a few months after his show faced a brief hiatus due to controversial remarks he made about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer.
To secure a spot at the reception and dinner scheduled for March 10 aimed at supporting House Democrats, attendees are required to contribute $25,000, as detailed in an event invitation acquired by MS NOW contributor Teddy Schleifer.
The event also features premium ticket options, with prices scaling from $44,300 for the “Leader’s Circle” up to $310,100 for the exclusive “Jeffries 300” category.
Kimmel, at 58, is listed as the event’s “special guest,” ranking just below prominent figures such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in terms of billing.
Efforts to obtain a comment from a DCCC representative by The Post went unanswered.
In September, Disney imposed a five-day suspension on the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host following his inaccurate claim that Trump supporters were responsible for Kirk’s death, though authorities have identified the suspected perpetrator as having left-wing affiliations.
Disneyâs decision came just hours after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr signaled that ABC stations could be penalized if action wasn’t taken against Kimmel.
President Trump, who had previously warned that Kimmel was ânextâ after CBS canceled late-night host Stephen Colbertâs show last year, said the ABC comedian was taken off the air due to âbad ratings.â
Kimmel refused to directly apologize for his Kirk comments when he returned to the airwaves.
The fundraiser comes as House Democrats appear to be at a slight fundraising disadvantage relative to House Republicans heading into the November midterms.Â
The DCCC had $115 million in its campaign war chest at the end of 2025, compared to $117 million in cash on hand for the National Republican Congressional Committee, according to the Associated Press.
