Diego Luna’s guest-hosting run on Jimmy Kimmel Live! is already off to a flying start, with the Andor star starting the week with a powerful monologue criticising Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
Then, on Tuesday, the Mexican actor hit it out of the park again with another excellent late night monologue, this time responding to the overwhelming reaction to Monday night’s show.
“Last night, I spoke from the heart and gave a monologue about immigration and the policies of this administration, and I got some very positive comments online,” Luna says in the video above. He then proceeds to read out examples like, “This guy is eloquent! He ought to be in Congress!”
“No way, no, no, no, I’m too productive for that,” Luna quips.
The host then reads out the more creative negative online comments, then moves onto press coverage and, in particular, Fox News’ story on his monologue, of which Luna reads out the headline: “Narcos: Mexico star trashes Trump immigration policies while guest-hosting ‘Kimmel.”
“I’ve done more than 70 movies and shows. I wonder why they chose the one where I play a drug dealer,” Luna says.
Notably, Fox News now appears to have changed the story headline to read “Andor star…” though you can see the original headline on the site with a quick Google.
