Jimmy Kimmel reportedly hit back at the White House spokesperson Davis Ingle and dubbed his nickname as 'Dingle' after Ingle called him a 'no talent loser.' According to the Wrap, the comedian admitted that he didn't know which late-night joke had upset the spokesperson. Kimmel said,
"The White House also issued a not-so-fabulous statement today about me in response to my monologue. And to be honest, I’m not even sure which one p*ssed them off."
In the show, Kimmel also revealed that Ingle said the host lacked real talent, and so anyone with common sense would avoid watching him live unless they wanted to laugh at his constant failure. Kimmel said,
"One of the monologues prompted White House spokesboy to say, Jimmy Kimmel is a no talent loser who has beclowned himself with tanking ratings and by spewing disgusting lies to his dwindling audience."
The New York Post reported that the White House communications director Steven Cheung defended the new press secretary in a statement given to Fox News Digital while responding to Kimmel's criticism.

Late-night roast: Jimmy Kimmel fired back at Davis Ingle who called him a 'no talent loser'
In Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host fired back at Davis Ingle, who called him a 'no talent loser' and embarrassed him with falling ratings.
According to Kimmel, Ingle also said that the show's host lacked real talent, and people who had common sense wouldn't watch the show unless they wanted to laugh at his constant failures. Kimmel responded that if anyone wondered what kind of person used the word 'beclowned', they should look at the spokesperson.
Why Jimmy Kimmel gave a new name to Davis Ingle?
During his late-night show, Kimmel renamed Davis Ingle to mockingly insult the White House spokesperson. The nickname was meant as payback after Ingle released a sharp public statement to criticise Kimmel. Ingle gave a statement to Fox News where he said Kimmel had no real talent. Ingle said,
"He is so devoid of actual talent that nobody with any common sense would ever watch him unless it was to laugh at his miserable failures."
Kimmel mocked Ingle with a joke about viewers watching him click his pen just before he was strapped into a booster seat on Air Force One. He mocked him again by repeating the nickname and urged Ingle to give him another chance. Then, the comedian explained that the newly appointed White House Press Secretary and the current U.S. Secretary of War shared one thing in common: neither of them could pass a bar. The host finished his roast by insisting that the joke was solid.
