Tell me what you think about this, Nigel. Jimmy Kimmel has announced that Rosie O'Donnell will be filling in as a guest host for him when he takes a little vacation coming up.

**Nigel** (0:14)
So this is the old thing where you don't want the host that's filling in for you to be better than you are, so you hire a washed up has-been nobody that's been living overseas. I believe she, did she live in Ireland?
Was Rosie living in Ireland for a while or somewhere in Europe? But anyway.

**Hammer** (0:32)
I tried to find her when I was there, but I just couldn't find a place to be big enough for her. I looked around, pretty small island.

**Nigel** (0:41)
What an awful choice.

**Hammer** (0:44)
See, I disagree with your assessment that Jimmy Kimmel even cares about the show anymore. I think he just wants to get over on Trump. Like it's not even about the content of the show anymore. I hope this host is better than me. I hope this host is worse than me.
All Jimmy Kimmel cares about is being an activist and getting over on Trump.

**Nigel** (1:03)
And he knows that Rosie every night, that's all it's going to be is a Trump bash fest.

**Hammer** (1:08)
That's it. Kat Temp, I believe was on Gutfeld Show talking about this.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:13)
It really lays bare what he sees the show as. And it's not, I'd like to make people laugh. Yeah, that's not what it is. It is, you could see him getting so excited about it, right? You can see me like, well, I know how I'm going to get him.
But that's what the show is. I know how I'm going to get him. That's what the whole show is at this point. I know how I'm going to get Donald Trump. The best thing Trump could do would just be completely ignore it.

**Hammer** (1:40)
That's exactly right. It's not about let's make people laugh. Let's entertain America. How can I get over on Trump? I know I'll get that big fat tub of lard and a bird from Ireland over here. That'll really stick in his crawl.

**Nigel** (1:55)
But the key is, is Trump going to be able to ignore it? Is he going to be able to stay on social media, off truth social?

**Hammer** (2:04)
Well, based on what we've heard in the past, I'm going to say no. Well, Rosie O'Donnell is disgusting. I mean, both inside and out. You take a look at her, she's a slob. She talks like a like a truck driver. We're all a little chubby, but Rosie's just worse than most of us. If I were running the view, I'd fire Rosie. I mean, I'd look at her right in that fat ugly face of hers. I'd say, Rosie, you're fired. Rosie is a very unattractive person.
I'd like to take some money out of her fat ass pockets.

**Nigel** (2:38)
That's our president.

**Hammer** (2:39)
I like to see bad people fail. Rosie failed. I'm happy about it.
Rosie O'Donnell is disgusting. Rosie is a person that's very lucky to have her girlfriend. And she better be careful or I'll send one of my friends over to pick up her girlfriend. Why would she stay with Rosie if she had another choice? It's The Hammer and Nigel Show.
