Jimmy Kimmel fired back at Sean Hannity during his monologue Thursday night after the Fox News personality called him an "ass clown."
"This is the guy who defended multiply alleged pedophile Roy Moore, and I'm the despicable disgrace? I'm the ass clown?" Kimmel asked his audience. "If I'm an ass clown, and I might very well be, you, Sean, are the whole ass circus."
'Fox & Friends' Shouts 'Racist' Over Jimmy Kimmel's Melania Trump Impression
View Story"You're the juggler, you're the trapeze artist. You are the ass lion tamer and the ass human cannonball all jammed into one little car," the ABC star continued. "You're the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey of ass clownsmanship, but I do wanna say, I appreciate how compassionate you've suddenly become to the plight of immigrants in this country over the last 24 hours."
The feud between the two TV personalities was sparked after Fox News called out the comedian for making a joke Monday night about Melania Trump's accent. After Kimmel was criticized on "Fox & Friends," Hannity called the joke "brutal" on his show, going as far as calling the ABC late-night host a "despicable disgrace" and an "ass clown" on the air.
Kimmel, however, argued that President Trump -- who Hannity regularly cheerleads for -- is significantly more disrespectful to Melania.
"Do you know what I think is disrespectful to the first lady? Cheating on her with a porn star after she has a baby," referencing the president's alleged affair with Stormy Daniels. "Why don't you rant a little about that, Sean Hannity? And go get a haircut, you hippie."
But the fight didn't stop there as Hannity brought the war to Twitter Thursday night, calling Kimmel "Harvey Weinstein Jr."
This is ABC's @jimmykimmel aka Harvey Weinstein Jr. Asking 18 year old girls to grab his crotch and “put their mouth on it”. Jimmy that's you being a pervert asshole. How would you feel if that was your daughter? I bet @Disney is so proud. https://t.co/o7ydG72Pzc
@seanhannity
Hannity also started calling out Disney, the parent company of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" network ABC.
Also @jimmykimmel attacking @MELANIATRUMP while reading a book to kids? What happened to “Mr Morality”? Attacking a woman who is helping children? This is @Disney? #pervertkimmel https://t.co/o7ydG72Pzc

The Fox host also shared an old clip from Kimmel's "Man Show" days, when he asked women if size matters while walking around in public with a fake erection.

Only a short while later, Kimmel wrote back to Hannity, telling him that he couldn't wait to hear more. The host also posted his monologue to Twitter, to give his fans some context.

"Game on," Hannity responded in a tweet, also bringing in a conversation he had with an executive at Disney.

We expect Hannity will respond on his Fox News show, and that this feud is just getting starting.
