President Trump makes no secret of the fact he wants Jimmy Kimmel fired ... well, ABC just extended Jimmy's TV deal another year.

Jimmy and ABC signed a contract extension that will keep "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on the air through the end of the 2026-2027 TV season ... according to Bloomberg.

The late-night host's current contract was set to expire in May ... but his future with ABC is no longer in doubt.

W. Kamau Bell is ripping the Kennedy Center Honors ... he says the only folks taking home hardware are celebs who are cool with President Trump ... which is a problem for him, because he says Trump is a fascist.

The comedian and TV host joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and took shots at the honorees from Sunday's 48th Kennedy Center Honors.

Trump hosted and helped pick the honorees ... including Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, George Strait, and KISS.

Marjorie Taylor Greene got into a heated back-and-forth with "60 Minutes" journalist Lesley Stahl as both accused each other of fueling the current toxic political environment.

The Georgia congresswoman sat down with Stahl for a wide-ranging interview, during which they turned to the subject of Green apologizing on CNN three weeks ago for taking part in the toxic culture.

Greene explained that American politics has become the most toxic it's ever been ... prompting Stahl to say "you contributed to that" and slamming Greene for "insulting people."

The 48th Annual Kennedy Center Honors is about about to get underway ... and, the event's already feeling President Donald Trump's presence -- with POTUS drawing eyes on the red carpet.

The prez arrived at the event in a tuxedo Sunday in a classic tuxedo ... bowtie around his neck and a serious expression on his face as he posed with First Lady Melania Trump.

Ever the model, Melania pulled of her sleevless black dress flawlessly ... the hint of a smile playing on her full lips. She firmly planted her right hand planted in her husband's left during the shoot.

Donald Trump implied he's resigning the presidency ... well, if he's not a better host than Jimmy Kimmel, that is ... cracking the joke during a Kennedy Center Honors event at the White House.

The President of the United States took another shot at his talk show host nemesis while highlighting the annual award nominees ... including KISS, Sylvester Stallone, and more.

In the clip, Trump -- who is hosting the Kennedy Center Honors tonight, though it won't air on TV until December 23 -- says he assumes the media will tear apart his hosting, no matter how well it goes.

Andrew Wolfe -- one of the two National Guard members shot the day before Thanksgiving in Washington, D.C. -- is recovering well ... according to the West Virginia governor.

Governor Patrick Morrisey provided the update via his website Friday ... revealing he's been in contact with the family -- and, they "report that his head wound is slowly healing and that he's beginning to ‘look more like himself.'"

The governor stated Andy will likely be in acute care for at least a couple more weeks ... but, the family's full of optimism after the tragic attack.

Donald Trump is giving Americans a new way to celebrate his birthday -- free entry to national parks! Two other holidays -- Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day -- are getting the boot, however.

The calendar of free entry dates on the National Park Service website confirms this change for 2026 and covers 116 parks, from Yellowstone, Yosemite and Grand Canyon to Everglades National Park and beyond.

Luigi Mangione was fighting for his life in court this week, and Justin Baldoni wanted Blake to know ... he's circumcised. So we gotta ask ...

Joe Biden was once the 46th president of the United States ... but now he's having trouble saying "America" without butchering the hell out of the word.

JB spoke at the 2025 International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday ... and, while giving an impassioned speech about the resiliency of the nation, he completely botched the pronunciation of "America."

After encouraging attendees to keep the faith and remember who they are ... JB's voice suddenly went up several octaves before he shouted ... "We're the United States of Amerigotit!!!" By the way, we aren't totally sure we spelled that right.

Sabrina Carpenter might find herself in a game of Whack-a-Mole with the White House ... after she seemingly influenced them to take down a post using her music, the administration has now posted a new video using her image.

The PSA in question was posted Friday on X. In it, the White House wrote, "If you're a criminal illegal, you WILL be arrested & deported."

The message accompanied a clip from a "Saturday Night Live" promo Sabrina did with cast member Marcello Hernandez. In the promo, she pretends to arrest the comedian for being too hot -- a bit she does with audience members at her live shows. But the WH edited the clip, recording the word "illegal" over Sabrina saying "hot."

President Trump finally got his hands on the peace prize he so desperately wanted ... no, it's not the Nobel variety, but something far better ... an award from soccer's governing body!!!

Trump was just awarded the brand spanking new FIFA Peace Prize ... getting the hardware Friday at the 2026 World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented his good buddy with the first-ever award, which consists of a trophy of golden hands holding a soccer ball, plus a medal and, wait for it, a certificate.

President Donald Trump announced his approval of "tiny cars" to be built in the United States on Truth Social on Friday.

POTUS described the vehicles as the "cars of the very near future" and wrote car manufacturers had been trying to gain approval to start producing the cars for an extended period of time.

47 added the vehicles were "amazing" and called for manufacturers to begin building the cars "now."

President Trump's Department of War says it blew some more narco-terrorists out of the water ... and the explosion is on video.

Footage on social media shows Thursday's attack on an alleged drug smuggling boat in the Eastern Pacific. The military says four men died in the strike.

Trump's taking heat for carrying out strikes against alleged narco-terrorists ... but this seems to indicate he's not going to stop anytime soon.

Gavin Newsom is making nice with Halle Berry after the two clashed over the California governor twice vetoing a state menopause health bill ... and our sources say HB won the battle in the end.

As you know, Halle gave a scathing speech Wednesday at the New York Times' DealBook Summit, where she slammed Newsom for killing the menopause bill while noting he will not be governor forever and probably should not be the country's next president.

On Wednesday night, Newsom's rep issued a statement, saying the governor deeply admires Halle's advocacy and looks forward to working with her on this "critical issue." The rep added Newsom vetoed the bill because it would have "unintentionally raised health care costs for millions of working women and working families already stretched thin."

But, Newsom changed his tune a bit when our cameraman caught up with him Thursday at Newark International Airport in New Jersey, where he ironed out some of the confusion around his skirmish with Halle.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says his home is being hit by a non-stop barrage of drive-bys ... but instead of bullets ... nasty words are shooting out of the cars -- namely, the R-word.

Walz says people keep driving by his house shouting the R-word at him ... and he's noticed it happening more and more since President Trump called him that specific slur in a recent social media post.

Trump was given a chance to walk back the statement last week, but he doubled down and told reporters, "I think there is something wrong with him."

Jonathan Alpert is gonna catch even more heat for this ... after pissing off folks by asking if "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is real, he's now saying the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters suffered from "Biden Derangement Syndrome."

The renowned psychotherapist joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and we asked him about TDS ... this on the heels of a TDS column he published in the Wall Street Journal.

Jonathan says he's seen lots of patients who were so consumed with anger and worry over Trump that they couldn't relax or sleep ... including one woman who he says couldn't enjoy a family vacation to Europe because she couldn't get her mind off DT.
