MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: In the 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' episode on December 1, Jimmy Kimmel's monologue mentioned a significant event scheduled for the next night in Washington—the alleged conclusion of Congressman George Santos' political career.
His statements suggested that something noteworthy or conclusive is expected to happen in Santos' political journey, but the details are not explicitly provided.
Right after, a hilarious spoof popped up on the screen - a mismatched conversation from an unnamed TV show and George Santos.
'Have a good time in jail'
Jimmy Kimmel then went on to provide updates on the political situation involving Congressman George Santos, stating that the house is expected to vote on whether to expel him the next day.
Kimmel expresses surprise at the prolonged process, comparing it to a scenario where a mental patient escapes a hospital and ends up in an air traffic control tower, still there a year later.
Despite the uncertainty, Kimmel notes that Santos is making the most of his remaining time in the spotlight, having a fiery press conference in front of the Capitol that day.
Then came another skit!
In the made-up scenario, an actor, pretending to be a reporter, poses a question to Santos about anything coming between him and his Calvins.
Santos denies any interference and mentions the age of his Calvins, leading to a comedic response from Kimmel, concluding with a humorous wish for Santos to "have a good time in jail".
Santos criticized Congress colleagues for 'wasting the American people's time'
As per CBS News, Republican Rep George Santos defiantly faced a third resolution for expulsion from the House, prompted by the House Ethics Committee's recent findings of "overwhelming evidence" of federal law violations.
Santos, in a Capitol news conference, criticized Congress colleagues for "wasting the American people's time," warning that his expulsion could have repercussions for other House members.
The vote on expelling Santos, which was scheduled for December 1, represents a significant threat to his congressional career.
During November 30th's debate, lawmakers, even fellow Republicans, continued their calls for Santos's removal.
Calls for Santos's resignation have persisted for over 11 months, originating when he acknowledged embellishing his resume during his 2022 Congressional bid.
Pressure intensified after his indictment on nearly two dozen federal charges, reaching a peak with the Ethics panel's report.
Santos, pleading not guilty to all charges, accused those pushing for his expulsion of acting as "judge, jury, and executioner," emphasizing that evidence and allegations aren't equivalent to conviction or a verdict.
