Jimmy Kimmel on Mute Button at Presidential Debate: Trump Will ‘Just Pull Another One Out of His Hair’

Late-night host 👤Jimmy Kimmel is joking about the decision to include a mute button at the upcoming presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Kimmel weighed in on the decision during a segment of “👤Jimmy Kimmel Live” Tuesday night, where he noted that Thursday night Trump and Biden will go head-to-head at the debate held in Nashville, Tenn.

The late-night host joked that the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) is cutting down “on all the Potus interruptus .” He then said muting the microphones helps so this debate “doesn’t turn into another senior citizen bum fights video” like the first debate.

“Muting the mics, it’s the same strategy my daughter’s teacher uses for Zoom kindergarten,” he continued.

He then questioned:

“Would a mute button even work for 👤Donald Trump? I feel like if you turn off his microphone, he’ll just pull another one out of his hair or something.”
