George Santos slams ‘full of s–t’ Jimmy Kimmel over Cameo feud: ‘I’m making six figures’

It’s talk show host versus disgraced politician. 

George Santos, 35, is slamming Jimmy Kimmel, 56 — over Cameo. The late-night host claimed that the ousted rep has demanded Kimmel pay him $20,000 for playing several of his Cameos on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“Let Jimmy Kimmel be Jimmy Kimmel. He’s full of s–t, that’s all,” Santos told The Post in an exclusive statement Wednesday.

“He owes me a lot more than [$20,000]. Reading the terms and conditions for cameos Kimmel is just trying to deflect. I’m doing very well. I’m making six figures.”

Kimmel, who anonymously submitted Cameo requests to Santos, elaborated on their exchange during Monday night’s episode.

“[George Santos] has claimed he’s made more money in seven days than he did in Congress for a year, and part of that money came from me,” he told his audience.

“I sent him a bunch of crazy video requests because I wanted to see what he would read and what he wouldn’t read,” Kimmel went on. “I showed some of them on the air on Thursday, and now he’s demanding $20,000 from me to be paid a commercial rate.”

Kimmel titled the segment “Will Santos Say It?” and claimed Santos increased the rates of his videos to $500 each.

“He should be thanking me for buying these videos,” he quipped.

Cameo is a platform where people can pay to get personalized videos from famous people.

Kimmel, who will return to host the Oscars in 2024, didn’t seem concerned about this potential legal issue. Instead, he gleefully said, “Can you imagine if I get sued by George Santos for fraud? How good would that be? It would be like a dream come true.”

Former Long Island Rep. Santos (R-NY) was expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives on Dec. 1 a little more than a year after he won the election despite fabricating much of his personal and professional history, lying about his campaign’s finances and defrauding donors.

Among other things, Santos lied about attending prep school, attending Baruch College and NYU, working at Goldman Sachs, his mother dying in the 9/11 terror attacks, employing victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting, founding a pet rescue charity and getting mugged.

After getting expelled from the House of Representatives, Santos has been making Cameo videos. He revealed on X, formerly Twitter, that he’s filmed 700 Cameo videos so far.

Santos also told The Post that he’s thinking about a political comeback. “We need more people with a backbone running for office. I’m proud of my congressional voting record. I wasn’t the one selling out to lobbyists.”

The Post reached out to reps for Kimmel for comment.
