Jimmy Kimmel has been roasting Donald Trump’s cabinet picks on Live, but with Matt Gaetz withdrawing from consideration for Attorney General, it looks like Kimmel has set his sights on Trump’s controversial pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“RFK-cray has a lot of skeletons and whale carcasses in his closet, including this interview from June in which Mr. Anti-Pharmaceutical has some interesting things to say about drugs,” Kimmel said before airing a clip from an interview Kennedy did in June 2024 on the Shawn Ryan Show.

The clip shows Kennedy speaking frankly about using narcotics and heroin while in school. “I was doing very, very poorly in school until I started doing narcotics. Then I went to the very top of my class,” he confessed.

At another point, he said, “I was at the bottom of my class, I started doing heroin, I went to the top of my class.”

Kimmel and the Live audience shared a laugh as he joked, “Great lesson. Remember, kids: Stay in school and do drugs. He believes in every drug except the ones that keep you alive.”

Kennedy has been open about his 14-year-long struggle with heroin addiction that began when he was 15 years old after his father, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated, per the Los Angeles Times.

The late night host went on to also criticize Tulsi Gabbard and Dr. Oz, who were tapped by Trump to become the director of national intelligence and to oversee medicare and medicaid, respectively.

“Trump is filling out his team the way most people fill out mad-libs with crazy choices,” Kimmel said.

But he could not hide his concern as he said, “These are very important jobs that will have real and lasting impact on our lives.”
