Jimmy Kimmel Says Sean Duffy As Secretary Of Transportation Is One Of Donald Trump’s ‘Least Embarrassing Picks’

As an ardent fan of pop culture history and political satire, I find Jimmy Kimmel’s take on Donald Trump’s nomination of Sean Duffy for Secretary of Transportation absolutely hilarious! The juxtaposition of Duffy’s reality TV past with a position as significant as the one he has been nominated for is simply too amusing to ignore.


Donald Trump’s name is frequently in the spotlight, largely due to his second term as President of the United States and the recent remarks and appointments he has been making. Notably, one such appointment sparked discussion from Jimmy Kimmel, who expressed his thoughts on Trump’s choice of Fox Business host Sean Duffy for the position of Secretary of Transportation.

In his Tuesday night broadcast, Kimmel discussed the topic at hand. He revealed that while Sean Duffy was a representative for Ashland County, Wisconsin from 2011 to 2019, he actually kicked off his career in the entertainment world by appearing on reality shows during the 90s.

The speaker shared with the crowd that he spent eight years as a member of Congress prior to that, but earlier in his career, he was well-known for appearing on MTV shows like The Real World and Road Rules. Kimmel jokingly commented that it’s no surprise the president chose someone from Road Rules to be the Secretary of Transportation, given that “road” is part of the show’s title.

1998 saw Duffy appearing on Road Rules: All Stars, and later in 2002, he graced the screen in The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Battle of The Seasons, which was originally known as the show’s second season before it became The Challenge. It is worth noting that Duffy initially joined MTV’s reality series, The Real World, in its sixth season, specifically on The Real World: Boston, according to Buzzfeed.

In the course of discussing Trump’s selection, the talk show host humorously remarked, “That’s certainly one of his less awkward choices. Perhaps he’ll choose one of the ‘Teen Moms’ for the position of Secretary of Labor!

In a unique analogy, he likened the newly elected president’s appointments to a “Season of Dancing With the Stars,” suggesting that Trump’s selections have been captivating attention. Among his nominees are Mehmet Oz as head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Linda McMahon (former WWE co-founder) as Secretary of Education, Robert F. Kennedy in the role of Secretary of Health and Human Services, and several others.
