Jimmy Kimmel made several interesting comments in response to 2025’s Grammys while on February 3’s airing of Jimmy Kimmel Live. In particular, Jimmy Kimmel had quite a few things to say about the appearance of Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori.
As shared below, via Variety, Kimmel took the time to call West a “rodent” before discussing his wife’s attire – which was essentially nothing at all. Additionally, Kimmel also found a way to mention Will Smith in his monologue, and made a reference to the Oscars incident in which Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock.
Here’s what Kimmel stated:
“Another rodent came out of his hole to hit the red carpet at the Grammys last night — none other than Kanye West, who showed up to take photos,” Kimmel said. “He showed up for the red carpet only with his wife, who caused quite a stir. She was wearing … nothing.”
However, Jimmy Kimmel added that his monologue can’t focus solely on Kanye West and Bianca Censori, because he also had to discuss Donald Trump’s return to the White House:
“This shows you just how times have changed. Before Trump, [West and Censori] would have been our whole monologue tonight. Now it’s like the ninth craziest thing that happened this week.”
“Remember when the whole country melted down when one of Janet Jackson’s boobs popped out for a millisecond?” Kimmel continued. “Now a completely nude woman walks the red carpet at the Grammys, they’re yelling, ‘Bianca, over here on the right! Please!”
He concluded his monologue with the following nod to Will Smith:
“Also on the red carpet at the Grammys last night, Will Smith, who is banned from the Oscars for 10 years. The Grammys, they had him onstage honoring Quincy Jones. And you know what’s a shame? Will Smith, all he had to do was run out on that red carpet and slap Kanye. I think all would be forgiven. He would be hosting the Oscars next year.”
It was certainly an interesting show, especially due to the way Kanye West and his wife walked the red carpet before departing. According to Variety, while it was initially reported that he and Censori were kicked out due to her revealing outfit, West rather “walked the carpet, got in his car and left.” That’s certainly one way to make both an entrance and an exit.
