Jimmy Kimmel Pities ‘Poor Rudy Giuliani’ Over Golden Globes Nomination Snub
Jimmy Kimmel celebrated the Golden Globes 2021 nominations on Wednesday with a gag at Rudy Giuliani’s expense.
“Poor Rudy Giuliani was snubbed for his brilliant turn acting like he was just tucking in his shirt,” cracked Kimmel.
It was in reference to that hidden-camera scene in “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” in which former President Donald Trump’s lawyer put his hand down his pants while alone in a hotel room with actor Maria Bakalova.

Giuliani thought she was a journalist. The former New York mayor later claimed he was only tucking in his shirt.
The film itself, released days before the 2020 election, scored a nomination in the Best Motion Picture ― Musical or Comedy category.
Its stars Sacha Baron Cohen (who played Borat) and Maria Bakalova (who portrayed Borat’s daughter Tutar) earned nods for Best Actor and Best Actress in a Motion Picture ― Musical or Comedy.
Baron Cohen on Wednesday joked about hiring Giuliani to represent him if he doesn’t win. He is also nominated in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role category for “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”

Kimmel in his monologue also poked fun at Eric Trump’s latest bewildering defense of his father, and Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) response to QAnon-supporting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) conspiracy theories.
