On her final night guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live, Rosie O'Donnell closed the show with a scathing song directed at President Donald Trump, reprising a parody of 'Donny Boy' that urged him to resign. During the number she sang, "Since we all know you'll never be Obama, why not resign and make this country great again," and she called him "President Oompa J. Loompa," later joking that his attacks had made her "re-famous." Clips of the performance circulated and commentators highlighted the set-closing ditty as the capstone of her guest-hosting run. The White House pushed back, criticizing O'Donnell and calling her remarks "a nasty woman" and "a total slob." The segment followed several nights in which O'Donnell repeatedly skewered Trump during the Kimmel fill-in stint and prompted calls from supporters to bring her back as host.
