Jimmy Kimmel is facing backlash over a years-old joke about Rudy Giuliani, and the late-night host is firing back. In a recent interview, Kimmel addressed criticism that his 2018 joke about Giuliani's appearance was insensitive and mean-spirited. The joke in question was part of a segment on Giuliani's then-new role as a lawyer for Donald Trump, and it sparked a heated debate about the boundaries of humor in politics. As the controversy surrounding Kimmel's joke continues to simmer, the comedian is standing by his right to poke fun at public figures, even if it means ruffling a few feathers.
