- To close her guest-hosting week on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, O'Donnell sang a parody of the traditional folk song Danny Boy, which is often associated with her new home of Ireland.
- A longtime critic of Donald Trump, she reportedly began each nightly monologue with a thinly veiled jab at the president.
- From Monday through Thursday, she successively likened Trump to a mango-themed Mussolini, an Oompa-Loompa president and a petty Roosevelt, then portrayed him as a hungry and hypocritical White House figure.
- The parody highlighted falling poll numbers, criticized Trump's appearance and ballroom, accused him of overreaching with Iran and suggested he resign because he would never be Obama.

- On Tuesday, August 18, Disney filed suit in federal court in Washington, D.C., alleging that the FCC is violating its First Amendment rights.
- The FCC is investigating “The View,” while Brendan Carr ordered early renewal proceedings for eight Disney-owned station licenses after ABC stood by Jimmy Kimmel’s show, even though renewal was not due for several years.
- ABC says the inquiry has led “The View” to book political candidates more cautiously, with no such guest appearing since February 2 and some video clips withheld from broadcast.
- Until this year, the FCC had not issued an early-renewal order in decades, while station licenses are renewed every eight years and are virtually never revoked.
This Court’s intervention is necessary to stop the Federal Communications Commission’s extraordinary assault on free speech.— From Disney’s lawsuit against the FCC, filed in the DC District Court, alleging a First Amendment violation and describing a retaliatory campaign against ABC.
