A late-night television joke mocking Trump helped deliver a seven-figure jackpot for charity on national television. Trump pardons Gobble, one of the National Thanksgiving turkeys, during the White House turkey pardon ceremony in the Rose Garden on November 25, 2025. The host explained that while the names Spaghetti and Meatball did not ring a bell, he could easily picture them as a late-night gag aimed at Trump. “I could see me adding a big bowl in Donald Trump’s hands and him slurping up the spaghetti and meatballs,” Kimmel joked. The pair locked in Spaghetti & Meatball, landing them $1 million.
