Jimmy Kimmel addressed the death of Pope Francis on Monday’s (April 21) episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and pondered the odds of President Donald Trump declaring himself the new head of the Catholic Church. “As I’m sure you know, Pope Francis passed away this morning,” Kimmel said in his opening monologue. While some of the audience were still clapping the host’s previous joke, he quipped, “Don’t clap for that; you’ll go right to hell.” “The Pope, who was very well-loved, he seemed to be a kind and humble man, had been in poor health, but he sucked it up, he rallied, he delivered a message at Easter Mass, and then he passed away this morning,” Kimmel continued. “Is there anything more Catholic than waiting until Monday to die so you don’t upstage Jesus Christ?” “It’s the Pope version of a mic drop,” the comedian added.
