On last night's JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE, airing this week from Brooklyn, New York, host Jimmy Kimmel had plenty to say about Donald Trump's last minute cancellation of his scheduled appearance on the show.

"Donald Trump was supposed to be here tonight," said the host at the onset of the broadcast. "And now he's glad he didn't come, I guess."

He continued, "His people called last night and canceled on us. They were cryptic. They said he has a 'major political commitment', but he did want me to relay the message to you that had he been here, he would have been great.

I'm dying to find out what this major political commitment was. Usually it means he had to go on CNN and call someone an idiot or something."

Kimmel then turned to his executive producer and asked, "Why did he cancel? We told them there were cameras here, right? Are Tuesday nights the night he volunteers down at the orphanage?"
