Jimmy Kimmel's Hilarious FIFA Peace Prize Prank for Gavin Newsom
'This Is Long Overdue'
In a hilarious and unexpected turn of events, Jimmy Kimmel surprised Gavin Newsom with a unique gift during his appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'. The host, known for his playful pranks, presented the California governor with a trophy that was anything but ordinary - the 2026 FIFA Skydance Paramount Netflix Warner Bros Big Ass Lipton Cup O Peace. But this wasn't just any trophy; it was a clever commentary on Newsom's ongoing feud with Donald Trump.
As the massive trophy was unveiled, Josh Meyers, dressed as Newsom, revealed its intriguing composition. "Plated with platinum sourced from my expired Amex cards," he joked, adding, "And it holds a magnum of this sick ass soft blanc [wine]!"
Kimmel, with a mischievous grin, asked Newsom if he'd like to say a few words about this historic honor. Newsom, with a hint of humor, replied, "Look, this is long overdue. And I assume it comes with a third term?" He then added a playful dig at Trump, "Eat your heart out Donald!"
The interview delved into Newsom's public disputes with Trump, who received the inaugural (and made-up) FIFA Peace Prize in December. Kimmel playfully suggested that Trump secretly admired Newsom, to which Newsom humorously recounted their phone conversations. He shared a lighthearted anecdote about a call where Trump referred to him as 'New Scum', only to be reminded that it was a nickname from an eighth-grade bully from Newsom's past.
Newsom emphasized the importance of Democrats standing up to Trump and the Republicans, stating, "We've got to be tougher. We've got to be more aggressive and call this stuff out. We'll lose our country."
This lighthearted moment not only showcased Kimmel's comedic timing but also highlighted Newsom's ability to find humor in his political disputes. It's a reminder that even in the midst of serious political tensions, a little laughter can go a long way.
