Rosie O’Donnell Joke About Trump and Natalie Harp Draws Gasps From ‘Kimmel’ Crowd

The guest host mocked the president's close relationship with the White House staffer.

During her monologue on Wednesday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Rosie O’Donnell subtly referenced Donald Trump’s relationship with White House assistant Natalie Harp. At the start of the show, O’Donnell greeted those watching from home and from the White House, saying, "A special hello to those of you watching from home and from the White House."

However, she quickly clarified, "But I do have some bad news for President Petty Roosevelt." Applause followed from the studio audience when O’Donnell added, "You got to realize it’s time to hang up your wig and let Natalie tuck you in." This comment led to a strong reaction from the crowd, who could be heard gasping in delight and erupting into applause. O’Donnell continued: "Time to go nighty night."
