Jimmy Kimmel celebrated the Democratic Party's success in the midterm elections, remarking on Tuesday that President Donald Trump "got his a-- handed to him" in a "blue wave."
"Oh, I'm glad you're happy," Kimmel told his audience. "I'm feeling pretty good, too, I will say. And I want you to know, in case you tuned away from the election coverage, we are monitoring those who are monitoring the results of the election as they come in."
Kimmel referenced pollsters named Nate, stating, "All the Nates were predicting a blue wave, not the kind of blue wave that pulls Nicolas Cage's beach house into the ocean." He added, "And not just a wave — a blue tsunami."
He also cited a Harvard election model that suggested the chances of Republicans retaining the House were low, comparing it to rolling a 20 on a 20-sided die. Kimmel quipped that the modelers "really wanted to let us know they play Dungeons and Dragons."
"It seems to be after all the talk about Nicki Minaj's a--, Jon Husted's a--, the only a-- on Trump's mind tonight is the one that just got handed to him," Kimmel said.
In response to Fox News Digital's request for comment, the White House called Kimmel a "loser." White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital, "Jimmy Kimmel is a no-talent loser who has beclowned himself with tanking ratings and by spewing disgusting lies to his dwindling audience."
Democrats decisively recaptured majorities in the House and Senate in the midterm elections, a result that exceeded expectations.
Kimmel was joined by hosts of the "Pod Save America" podcast, who also celebrated the election results. Podcast host Tommy Vietor expressed optimism about the country's direction, stating, "I think that tonight is the beginning of the end of the Trump era in America."
Kimmel recalled the 2010 midterm elections when Democrats suffered significant losses. Podcast host Dan Pfeiffer described that election as "one of the worst nights of our lives" but indicated he would relish seeing Trump administration staffers experience a similar feeling.
"That night we went in, we knew it wasn't going to be great, so we had three scenarios: not that bad, kind of bad, pretty bad," Pfeiffer said. "We ended up with way worse than all of those. We were walking out of the White House at 3:00 in the morning. Rahm Emanuel, the chief of staff at the time, looked at us and said, 'Tomorrow is about to be the worst day of your life and everybody is going to call for you to be fired.' And he was right. It was terrible."
"And I am going to enjoy every second of every Trump staffer feeling that way tomorrow," he added.
