Jimmy Kimmel thanked President Donald Trump's frequent criticism for boosting his visibility and making him Google's third most searched person globally in 2025.

Jimmy Kimmel thanked Donald Trump for his success this year in a sarcastic monologue on the late-night show. Kimmel was revealed as the third most-searched person in Google Trends globally, and he said he wouldn’t have reached that level without Trump constantly criticizing him.

During the opening monologue on Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host referenced Google’s recently released top trends of 2025. Kimmel said he was surprised to learn he was “the third most trending person in the world” this past year.

The host said he wouldn’t have been the third-most-trending person in Google searches this year “without the support of loyal viewers” like the president.

According to Google Year in Search, Taylor Swift's "Wood," off her 12th studio album, was among the most searched songs in 2025 in southeast Michigan.

Jimmy Kimmel gave a special shout out to Donald Trump, crediting the president for making him the "third most trending person in the world."
