Jimmy Kimmel is patiently waiting for Donald Trump to comment on the 2017 Academy Awards. The Oscars host, 49, tweeted at the previous Celebrity Apprentice famous person, 70, during the reside broadcast on Sunday, February 26. Watch the video above, and apply Us Weekly‘s live blog for the entire highlights from the show!
“We’re greater than two hours into the show and Donald Trump has now not tweeted at us once,” Kimmel told the star-studded target market at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. “I’m beginning to get worried about him. Hold on a second.”
The Jimmy Kimmel Live host then pulled out his smartphone and began typing a tweet, which was once projected on the screen in the back of him, asking the commander in chief about his uncharacteristic silence. “Hey @realDonaldTrump u up?” he wrote as the crowd laughed. Kimmel then sent a 2d tweet, writing, “@actualDonaldTrump #Merylsayshi.” (Trump infamously tweeted that Meryl Streep used to be “one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood” after she slammed him at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards in January. Kimmel also poked a laugh at Trump’s feedback in regards to the Oscar-winning actress, who was nominated for her twentieth statue, during his opening monologue.)
Both tweets straight away went viral, garnering more than 320,000 and 253,000 likes, respectively, at presstime. Twitter Data announced that it took not up to quarter-hour for Kimmel’s first tweet to transform his most retweeted submit ever.
