Jimmy Kimmel has been on vacation for two months, and a lot has happened since he last delivered a monologue.

The thing that people have been asking him about most over the summer, though? Stephen Colbert's Late Show cancelation, and the gloating remarks from Donald Trump about how he might be next.

"He posted, 'The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes,' which is alarming, because — I don't know if you know this — Jimmy Kimmel is me," says the host in the clip above, before addressing the president directly. "You want us to be canceled because we make jokes about you? I thought you were against cancel culture? I thought that was like their whole thing? When did you become so woke?"
