Late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel did not hold back during a recent broadcast, taking sharp jabs at Donald Trump on the eve of the Nobel Peace Prize announcement. Taking the stage in Los Angeles, the comedian framed his monologue around Hollywood's obsession with accolades before turning his attention toward the international honor handed out in Oslo. Kimmel kicked off his routine by describing his home city as one of the most self-congratulatory places anywhere, pointing out how the entertainment industry spends almost the entire year presenting itself with hardware. He ran down a list of famous honors, noting that while stars routinely celebrate wins at the Oscars, the Peabody Awards, and the People's Choice Awards, none of those compare to the global stature of the Nobel Peace Prize.
