Donald Trump Cancels 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' in NYC Appearance for "Political"

Jimmy Kimmel streamed through a long line of jokes at Donald Trump's expense after the Republican presidential candidate canceled his appearance on Kimmel's late night show Tuesday.

Kimmel extended the invitation to Trump as he is taping his show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.

"Though Trump was scheduled to appear, he was never set for a full sit-down guest interview", Variety notes.

Kimmel took the GOP front-runner to task for the 11th-hour cancelation Tuesday night. Mere hours before Trump was supposed to film Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Trump was even supposed to appear in a comedy sketch. They were a little bit cryptic as to why he canceled.

"They want people to believe that you don't care about sound and quality", Jay said referring to his competition.

Kimmel also said on the show: "I'm dying to find out what this major political commitment was". Why did he cancel? On his recent visit to CBS's LATE SHOW, Sanders told Stephen Colbert, "What Trump is doing is appealing to the baser instincts among us - xenophobia and, frankly, racism".

Without holding back, Kimmel continued, poking fun of Trump's less-than-compassionate reputation asking, "Are Tuesday nights the nights he volunteers down at the orphanage?" (For those unfamiliar, apart from being Kimmel's parking lot security attendant and sidekick on the show, Guillermo is a Mexican immigrant.) Kimmel ended his monologue by letting the audience know that everyone would get a "basketball soaked in cologne" to fully experience what it would have been like to have seen Trump on the show.

"The good news of Donald not being here tonight is, now we don't have to build a wall around Guillermo".
