Jelly Roll used his final night guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live to respond to criticism over jokes about President Donald Trump and to deny claims that weight-loss drug Ozempic caused his transformation. The country star, born Jason DeFord, joked on air that if Trump lost weight he might be able to "see [his] penis again," then said Fox News hosts flagged the remarks and played a Jesse Watters clip mocking Ozempic. DeFord told viewers that Ozempic is "the only drug I haven't tried," quipped that he lost weight the "old-fashioned way: cocaine," then corrected himself and said he got in shape before the "GLP-1 craze" through diet, exercise, and a program that helped him keep the pounds off. DeFord has lost about 20 stone, roughly 275 pounds, over three years, appeared on the cover of Men's Health, and told that magazine his weight had made everyday tasks and decisions difficult before he committed to counting calories and macros.

Jelly Roll, I just watched your monologue from last night’s Jimmy Kimmel show. My goodness. You brought me to tears. For anyone who has seen it, please take some time to watch it now. “It’s never too late to do the right thing.” youtu.be/dQ7RRSJXgi8?...
