Ted Cruz just served up his own late-night hot take … and Jimmy Kimmel‘s talk show return is squarely in the spotlight.
TMZ got the Senator talking Monday — and he didn’t mince his words, saying Jimmy used to be hilarious, but somewhere along the way, he traded punchlines for political rants … and, in Ted’s view, that’s when the laughs (and ratings) nosedived.

Still, Cruz isn’t cheering for a cancellation — in fact, he says the FCC needs to butt out completely, ’cause according to him, the government threatening comedians is a slippery slope that could bite everyone in the bum.
Cruz also says the only hope is that Kimmel ditches the angry shouting, returns to the guy he was a decade ago and gets back to roasting both sides. If not … well, Cruz thinks we’ll all see pretty quickly whether Jimmy learned a lesson or not.
