What exact grades did Jimmy Kimmel claim Donald Trump received and on which show segments were they presented?

1. What the supplied reports actually attribute to Kimmel — concrete examples

Reporting documents a handful of explicit lines Kimmel used about Trump’s academic record or performance. Time summarized a 2019 Kimmel monologue around Michael Cohen’s testimony in which Kimmel joked that he’d “bet Trump’s grades are so bad he couldn’t even get into Trump University,” and staged a sketch with a NYMA superintendent character to lampoon Trump’s transcripts on Jimmy Kimmel Live! ^[1]. The Guardian reported that on the 100th day of Trump’s presidency in April 2025, Kimmel said Trump’s first 100 days “falls somewhere between F and U,” explicitly assigning a comic, letter-grade verdict to the administration’s performance that night ^[2]. Other items in the corpus show Kimmel making quips about Trump’s IQ, polling, and approval — for example proposing an on-air IQ test challenge and mocking approval numbers — but these references are playful jabs rather than claims of documented school grades ^{[3] [4]}.

2. Which shows/segments these lines appeared in, per reporting

The Time piece ties the “couldn’t even get into Trump University” line and the NYMA sketch to Jimmy Kimmel Live!, in the context of late-night hosts guessing about transcripts after Cohen’s testimony ^[1]. The Guardian’s April 30, 2025 recap places the “between F and U” line in Kimmel’s late-night monologue marking Trump’s first 100 days — again on Jimmy Kimmel Live! ^[2]. Other sourced items identify Kimmel’s general monologues and segments on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as the vehicle for his repeated taunts and challenges ^{[3] [4] [5]}.

3. What the sources do not substantiate (limits and gaps)

None of the supplied sources provide a comprehensive catalog tying every exact grade (letter or numeric) Kimmel ever “claimed” for Trump to a precise episode timestamp or segment title; available sources do not mention such a list. The dubious “revealed SAT score” article in the corpus ^[6] appears to be from an unverified source with sensational language and is not corroborated by the other mainstream outlets in the results; mainstream outlets in this set (TIME, Guardian, Variety, CNN, NYT excerpts) do not report Kimmel actually producing authenticated school transcripts or an official SAT score on-air ^{[1] [2] [5] [7] [4]}. Therefore, claims that Kimmel “revealed” an authentic SAT score or a definitive set of transcript grades are not supported by the mainstream items here (available sources do not mention Kimmel producing authenticated school records on TV).

4. Competing interpretations and possible agendas

Late-night comedy routinely conflates joke and “revelation”; Kimmel’s comments function as satirical commentary rather than documentary evidence. Time and the Guardian report Kimmel’s jokes in the political context of Cohen testimony and the 100-day mark respectively, signaling a critical editorial stance toward Trump in those recaps ^{[1] [2]}. Other sources in the set (Variety, CNN, NYT excerpts) discuss Kimmel in the broader media-conflict with Trump — some pieces emphasize ratings, cancellation threats, and political pushback, which can shape the framing of his jokes as partisan or retaliatory ^{[5] [7] [4]}. The unverified item purporting an SAT “reveal” ^[6] may reflect click-driven amplification and should be treated skeptically against the mainstream outlets in the set; mainstream reporting here does not corroborate that dramatic claim (available sources do not corroborate ^[6]’s asserted revelations).

5. Bottom line and what would be needed to answer “exact grades” fully

From the provided reporting, Kimmel explicitly used at least two concrete formulations: the “so bad he couldn’t even get into Trump University” gag (Jimmy Kimmel Live! tied to Cohen testimony) ^[1] and a 100-day “between F and U” grade (Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue) ^[2]. To produce a definitive, episode-by-episode listing of every “exact grade” Kimmel has ever claimed and the exact segment names/timestamps, one would need direct transcripts or full episode logs of Jimmy Kimmel Live! (available sources do not include full transcripts or a comprehensive episode log).
