Jimmy Kimmel Teases Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Jokes Aren't 'Off Limits' at 2024 Oscars: 'Probably Played Out'

Will Jimmy Kimmel go after Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift at the 2024 Oscars?

The 56-year-old star, who is hosting the upcoming Academy Awards on Sunday, March 10, was asked who will make his list of jokes, admitting the couple, who began dating in the summer of 2023, are "not off limits, but probably played out" from other awards shows.

Kimmel previously spoke about how hosting is no easy feat. "I feel like the Kansas City Chiefs going into this Oscars," he said of the football team who ended up winning the 2024 Super Bowl. "Like you’ve been there before, but it doesn’t make a difference. It’s still exciting and you still have to do well."

"We work very hard to make the show as good as it possibly can be," he continued as he gave a shout-out to his wife, Molly McNearney, the show's co-executive producer. "The big challenge always is trying to keep the show moving, so it's a matter of picking your spots and popping in when you're needed and staying out of the picture when you're not."

As OK! previously reported, Kimmel recently stuck up for Jo Koy, who hosted the Golden Globes earlier this year. Koy, who called out the pop star, 34, in his monologue, was not well-received.

"It’s like if a stranger walks up to you and goes, 'Nice shirt, Tom Selleck.' If it’s one of your friends, you don’t take offense to it, but if it’s somebody you don’t know, you might smack him one," Kimmel stated of making fun of people he doesn't really know. "Not that I have any business programming the Golden Globes, but I think they should let Jo Koy host the show next year and give him a shot at doing it over."

"It would be very smart," Kimmel added. "I think he learned all the lessons, and he’s a funny guy. I think it would be nice for everyone."
