Jimmy Kimmel is currently under fire after having the controversial Gal Gadot on his late-night talk show, prompting online backlash.
The Wonder Woman star was one of the most recent guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the comedian’s famous talk show, which has been making a comeback following his temporary suspension ordered by ABC and encouraged by President Trump. After Gal made her appearance on-air and the pair spoke about a variety of topics, some social media users expressed disappointment in Jimmy for having her on, considering her controversial views and statements on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Gal Gadot Is A Guest On 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
Jimmy Kimmel Live! is back in full swing as a late-night talk show, with it recently making headlines following a chaotic year with a suspension, political tensions, and a variety of guest hosts.
Gal Gadot recently stopped by the show on September 10th to promote her new thriller The Runner, which was released on Prime Video earlier this month. During the conversation, the actress opened up about life with her four daughters, meeting Madonna, and her goal of getting 100,000 steps a week. She also joined Jimmy in celebrating Rosh Hashanah, explaining the tradition behind the Jewish holiday and even bringing two shofars for the pair to play together.
For the appearance, the performer wore a sleek and understated look with a long, sleeveless black velvet dress with a high neckline and an attached flowing scarf detail. She paired the elegant gown with simple patent ballet flats and minimal jewelry and makeup.
Social Media Slams Jimmy For Letting Gal On His Show
The appearance by the 41-year-old actress drew backlash online, with some viewers questioning why Jimmy chose to feature her, given her public association with Israel. Gal, who served in the Israel Defense Forces and has spoken publicly in support of Israel and Israeli hostages following the October 7th attacks, has faced criticism from pro-Palestinian activists and others who object to her stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Some of the criticism was directed specifically at the show's host for giving the Death on the Nile actress a platform, while others called for viewers to boycott the episode or show.
"He has no spine or humanity," commented an Instagram user.
One user called for a "boycott" of his show, as another commented, "Why would he do that?"
"Since learning that, I've stopped watching him," a former fan wrote.
"He is a big disappointment," added another.
