Jimmy Kimmel’s brutal mockery of Rudy Giuliani’s health days before the current update has resurfaced, and the jokes have come across as ones made in bad taste.

The 81-year-old has made headlines for being hospitalized, and although the reason for it is unclear, his spokesperson has confirmed that the politician is in critical condition.

During his monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the host had stated “So last night, America's mayor, Rudy Giuliani, rose from the grave to weigh in on the ongoing drama involving me,” while addressing the backlash he had received for a joke he made before the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Jimmy added, “Does this man have any family members who can come get him already?” referring to Rudy.

The comedian had played clips of the former GOP presidential candidate calling him distasteful and an imcompetent jacka**, with the former countering both the insults and throwing them back at the latter.

Rudy is not the only official that has critiqued the talk show host, as Jimmy has also been slammed by First Lady Melania Trump for calling her an expectant widow, which rightfully offended her.

Jimmy, however, has defended himself and his bold roasts, even though it came ominously days before the shooting incident near the White House.
