In his recent monologue on Wednesday, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took a shot at former President Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz. Kimmel focused on the ongoing Republican presidential primaries, with Trump emerging victorious in the Iowa caucuses on Monday.

Following Trump's win, prominent Republicans rushed to endorse him, including Ted Cruz, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump since his defeat in the 2016 presidential race. Despite Trump having insulted Cruz's wife and accused his father of involvement in JFK's assassination, Cruz expressed his pride in endorsing the former president. Kimmel delivered a sarcastic commentary, joking that Cruz's endorsement was comparable to a tick endorsing Lyme disease.

Kimmel drew attention to Trump's constant complaints about lacking television coverage, which led to the cancellation of ABC and CNN's New Hampshire debate coverage. Trump and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley had announced their decision not to attend the debate, prompting the networks to cancel the event. Kimmel humorously suggested that those interested in hearing two Republicans argue about politics could always visit their parents.

Continuing his criticism of Cruz, Kimmel referred to him as "Ted 'Cancun' Cruz," alluding to the Texas senator's controversial trip to Mexico during the recent winter storm crisis. Kimmel quipped that it was amusing when two repugnant individuals could put aside their past feuds and support each other. Describing Cruz's endorsement of Trump, Kimmel likened it to a tick endorsing Lyme disease, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.

During his monologue, Kimmel also touched on other developments in the Republican primary race, including a segment called "Drunk Donald Trump." Additionally, he poked fun at the Los Angeles Clippers and delivered other amusing jokes throughout his show.
