Rosie O’Donnell’s second night of guest hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live” went much like the first. She never once mentioned President Donald Trump by name, but she still got some digs in.

“This has been kind of a strange experience for me because all of a sudden I’m re-famous,” she said. “I’m back in the spotlight all thanks to President Oompa J. Loompa, who is watching us this evening from inside a catering cart.”

Trump has frequently attacked O’Donnell on social media, extending a feud between the two that goes back decades. Earlier this month, for example, he posted an AI pic of himself as a “doctor” treating her for “Trump derangement syndrome.”

On Tuesday night, O’Donnell mockingly thanked Trump for the attention.

“You know, I couldn’t have done it without you, sweetie,” she said. “You brought me back ― just like you did with fascism and the measles.”

In addition to referring to Trump as “Velvito Corleone,” she trashed his Truth Social post that described the Strait of Hormuz as a “new U.S. territory.” O’Donnell said the claim “makes literally no sense.”

“I’ll put it this way: If the U.S. is in charge of the strait, then I’m also straight,” she said. “And let’s face it, I’m not. The moronathon continues.”
