Jimmy Kimmel wasted no time roasting President Donald Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zachariah, comparing her first day on the job to kindergarten before landing a punchline about her legal credentials.
During his October 13 monologue, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host introduced Zachariah as “the new kid in Trump land” and joked that her first day was “the first day of kindergarten.”
Kimmel also honed in on the frequency of staffing changes in Trump’s administration, quipping that every six months, the president gets “a new fawning blonde adult to add to the rotation.”
Zachariah’s first briefing lasted just 14 minutes, but Kimmel wasn’t impressed with her performance.
“Things did not get off to a great start for Malibu Katie today,” he said, adding that she had accomplished what she was brought in to do: “slobber a whole tube of lip gloss all over the president’s behind.”
He later mocked her delivery, saying, “Her reading is good for an 11-year-old,” before adding, “He hired a fourth grader to be press secretary.”
Kimmel also criticized Zachariah’s previous political commentary, accusing her of calling Democrats pedophiles on social media and promoting the Pizzagate conspiracy theory. He sarcastically suggested she would call for everyone named in the Jeffrey Epstein files to be punished.
But the comedian saved another punchline for questions about Zachariah’s legal credentials.
A reporter asked Trump where his new press secretary had passed the bar exam. Zachariah responded, “When I moved to China,” prompting Kimmel to joke that Trump had realized even his press secretary was “made in China.”
Kimmel followed up with another jab: “I have a feeling the only bar she passed is from Dry Bar.”
The exchange came after reporters questioned where Zachariah was licensed to practice law. According to the transcript, the White House was later asked to clarify her credentials but would not say where — or even whether — she had passed the bar.
“Say what you like about the Trump administration, they do such a good job of vetting people,” Kimmel snarked.
