Tiffany Haddish, currently guest-hosting "Jimmy Kimmel Live," has garnered attention after her jokes about President Donald Trump prompted a response from the White House.

Haddish, who is the first guest host of the summer, celebrated the White House's acknowledgment of her commentary.

During her Wednesday night monologue, Haddish shared her excitement, telling the audience, "The president is very focused on issues that matter right now ― and apparently, I’m one of them." She added, "I got a shout out from the White House today," indicating that her remarks had reached the administration.

This development is significant as it highlights the continued intersection of late-night comedy and political discourse, demonstrating how entertainment figures like Tiffany Haddish can draw direct reactions from high-level political offices.

Haddish also offered advice to Jimmy Kimmel regarding President Trump, suggesting he invite Trump as his date to the Emmys.

"No one’s given you more material than that dude.

He’s the best writer you got," she quipped, acknowledging the frequent comedic fodder Trump provides for late-night hosts.

One particular joke that reportedly triggered the White House involved Trump's involvement in the World Cup.

Haddish mocked the president after the US team lost to Belgium following his comments on the tournament.

"It seems like everything Trump touches dies ― which I guess is why his tiny hands are all f***ed up," she said on Tuesday.

Haddish mentioned that a "little snitch at USA Today" had reportedly sought comment from the White House on her joke, leading to the official response.

Concluding her segment, Haddish expressed her delight at the situation, stating, "This is exciting.

The White House is mad at me, y’all.

This is the day that I finally become Jimmy Kimmel."
