Guillermo jokes about "legal action" after his Dancing with the Stars exit

Before the farewell, Jimmy Kimmel's monologue works through Katie Zacharia's first briefing, Kimberly Guilfoyle's Greece exit and Jake Paul on a Trump stage.

Trump’s New Press Secretary Has Disastrous First Day & Guillermo Booted from Dancing with the Stars!

Jimmy Kimmel has a salsa to replay and a message for his longtime sidekick: "I am not Guillermo's dad, no. But I am just as proud of him as I am of my own children."

Guillermo Rodriguez and his professional partner, Witney Carson, were voted off Dancing with the Stars, and the elimination gives the second half of this monologue its warmth. It drew nearly five million views in its first day. A regular upload here usually opens at around 190,000.

The first stretch is politics. Kimmel plays clips from Katie Zacharia's first White House briefing and her earlier TV appearances, landing on the line many commenters repeat: "Even my press secretary is made in China." He then says goodbye to Kimberly Guilfoyle's stint as ambassador to Greece and turns to Donald Trump's Ohio stop, where Jake Paul wonders aloud whether protesters have jobs. Kimmel's reply: "Are you under the impression that what you do is work?" The comments came in about a dozen times faster than on a usual first day, and most of them are about the briefing.

Then the show belongs to Guillermo. Kimmel runs local-news segments about his run, a video from a young fan in Canada and Guillermo's reply. He recaps the salsa to Bad Bunny and the moment the result arrives. When the pair join by satellite, Guillermo keeps a straight face: "I think we should take a legal action, Jimmy." He also notes, with some pride, that he did lose the weight he promised to lose.

The same night's 50 Cent interview, which covers his Diddy documentary and Robert De Niro, also started at several times the usual pace. The goodbye is not finished either. In the next episode Guillermo is back in the studio, and the description promises Carson will stop by for one last dance.
