Fonda, a prominent environmental activist, excoriated Trump's stance on climate change. She emphasized the urgent need to address climate crisis, warning that "the orange man" represents a dangerous threat to the environment.
It is noteworthy that Kimmel is a staunch Democratic Party supporter who has frequently utilized his show as a platform for top Democrats. He and other late-night hosts, such as Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers, have played a role in organizing lavish party fundraisers.

ABC's network faced criticism from conservatives regarding the nature of questions posed to Trump and Harris during the debate, with accusations of bias in favor of Harris. Critics pointed out that moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis consistently fact-checked Trump in real time, while refraining from doing so for Harris. However, supporters of Harris claimed that this was due to her greater adherence to truthfulness.
The Harris campaign declined to comment, while a spokesperson for Trump referred to a campaign statement praising Trump's "masterful debate performance" and criticizing Harris' record.
The appearance of Fonda and Conway on Kimmel's show highlights the polarization within the media landscape, with hosts using their platforms to advocate for specific political agendas. Critics argue that such practices undermine the credibility of journalism and contribute to further political division.
