Jimmy Kimmel, the U.S.-born host of Sunday night's the Emmy Awards, received some backlash online after making a joke about reporting John Oliver, another late-night host who is from the U.K., to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Oliver had just won Outstanding Talk Series for his show, "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver" during the 72nd Emmy Awards. "Jimmy Kimmel joking about calling ICE on American citizen John Oliver was a bad look, even as a “sour grapes” gag," one user wrote. "I didn't know that it was needed, but @jimmykimmel making a joke about calling #ICE on @iamjohnoliver is not only poor taste, but completely out of touch w/ everything happening right now,'" another said. So @jimmyKimmel has made off colour joke about calling ICE on John Oliver, the same people who keep #Kidsincages and perform #forcedhysterectomies, now he just made light of #Interventions?"
