Trump Takes Heat from Late-Night Hosts as NFL Eyes UK Expansion and Bollywood Unveils New Film

The world of entertainment and politics is abuzz with controversy and excitement as late-night hosts take aim at President Donald Trump, the NFL eyes expansion in the UK, and Bollywood unveils a new film.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel returned to his show after a winter break, and wasted no time in taking aim at Trump's hosting of the Kennedy Center Honors. According to Kimmel, Trump's efforts resulted in the "lowest rated Kennedy Center Honors telecast of all time." Kimmel quipped that Trump had previously stated he would step down if the ratings were low, joking that "he said he'd step down if this happened."

Fellow late-night host Jon Stewart also took aim at Trump, this time over his handling of the Venezuela conflict. Stewart criticized Trump's fixation on oil, asking "Is this your first war?" Stewart also slammed Trump's reversal on non-interventionism, saying "I think there's still some time to go after Warner Bros. Discovery."

Meanwhile, in the world of sports, the NFL is making moves to expand its international audience in the UK. Last summer, the NFL made a groundbreaking free-to-air broadcast deal with British broadcaster Channel 5, with the aim of growing interest in the sport across the pond. The first season has seen a typical NFL broadcast hosted by Dermot O'Leary, Sam Quek, and Osi Umenyiora, and produced by Hungry Bear Media. According to reports, Taylor Swift's music has helped to "plant the seed" for the NFL's UK expansion.

In other news, the Bollywood film "Toxic - A Fairytale for Grown-Ups" is generating buzz with the release of a new character poster. The film, which stars Yash, has unveiled Rukmini Vasanth as Mellisa, following previous character unveilings for Kiara Advani as Nadia, Huma Qureshi as Elizabeth, Nayanthara as Ganga, and Tara Sutaria as Rebecca.

As the world of entertainment and politics continues to evolve, one thing is clear: there's no shortage of excitement and controversy to go around. From late-night hosts taking aim at Trump to the NFL's UK expansion, there's something for everyone in the news this week.
