Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is set to headline a pricey Los Angeles fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee – months after he was temporarily yanked off the air for inflammatory comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s killer.
Guests must pony up $25,000 to attend the March 10 reception and dinner for House Democrats, according to an event invite obtained by MS NOW contributor Teddy Schleifer.
Higher-priced tickets range from $44,300 for the “Leader’s Circle” to $310,100 for the “Jeffries 300” level.
Kimmel, 58, is billed as the event’s “special guest,” just below former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
A DCCC spokesman did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Disney suspended the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host for five days in September after the comedian falsely suggested Kirk was killed by Trump supporters — despite authorities indicating that the Turning Point USA founder’s alleged assassin had left-wing views.
Disney’s decision came just hours after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr signaled that ABC stations could be penalized if action wasn’t taken against Kimmel.
President Trump, who had previously warned that Kimmel was “next” after CBS canceled late-night host Stephen Colbert’s show last year, said the ABC comedian was taken off the air due to “bad ratings.”
Kimmel refused to directly apologize for his Kirk comments when he returned to the airwaves.
The fundraiser comes as House Democrats appear to be at a slight fundraising disadvantage relative to House Republicans heading into the November midterms.
The DCCC had $115 million in its campaign war chest at the end of 2025, compared to $117 million in cash on hand for the National Republican Congressional Committee, according to the Associated Press.
