Jimmy Kimmel commented on Donald Trump's nomination of Sean Duffy for Secretary of Transportation, calling it his "least embarrassing pick." Kimmel noted Duffy's background in reality TV, specifically on MTV's The Real World and Road Rules, before serving in Congress. Kimmel humorously suggested that Trump's appointments resemble a "season of Dancing With the Stars," referencing other unconventional nominees like Linda McMahon and Dr. Mehmet Oz. He also mentioned the controversy surrounding Matt Gaetz, who recently withdrew from consideration for Attorney General. Following Gaetz's withdrawal, Trump nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for the position. Kimmel's remarks highlight the unusual nature of Trump's cabinet selections.
