Jimmy Kimmel mocks Amazon over Melania documentary
Melania Trump's Amazon MGM Studios documentary had its premiere on Thursday, attended by celebrity guests including Dr. Oz and RFK Jr. — an event Jimmy Kimmel described as "either a movie premiere or Season 35 of Dancing with the Stars."
In the clip above the host breaks down everything from the First Lady's softball question-filled promo tour of the movie to Amazon's decision to spend $75 million on making and promoting it.
"Amazon shelled out $40 million to make this movie, and another $35 million to promote it, which is so much more than probably any documentary, ever," says Kimmel. "But they want you to know that this had nothing to do with the fact that her husband is a petty, vengeful bloodsucker. A spokesperson for Amazon said, 'We licensed the film for one reason and one reason only — because we think customers are going to love it.' And then she laughed and laughed until they had to carry her away."
