dan: we appreciate your time. jimmy kimmel is next. >> previously on "jimmy kimmel live." >> from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, luke bryan, jimmy kimmel. [applause]

>> jimmy: i appreciate it. it is tax day today, or as donald trump and amazon would call it, april fools' day. did you know tax day is the number one day american couples have, even before valentine's day. tonight i am claiming you all as dependents. children are our future and on tax day, each treasurer is worth a tax credit of $2,000. we pay tribute to our write-offs and ask a question we ask every april, are they worth it? ♪ ♪

>> whose idea was this. ♪ ♪ [applause] >> jimmy: southw had another snafu today. hundreds of flights were grounded due to equipment issues. you've experienced that? they spent so much time on the ground they are basically a railroad. the company said we apologize

for any inconvenience but that is what you get for flying southwest. spirit tweeted ha ha ha. no company had a worse day than fox news. the defamation trial that was supposed to get going today ended when fox settled for $787.5 million. it will take a lot of reverse to mortgage ads to that off. fox issued a statement that said this settlement reflects fox's commitment to the highest journalistic standards. they are already lying in their statement about lying. i also want to say nice going to dominion. we thought this was about making fox news take responsibility for destroying their reputation, but no, they took the money.

they don't have anything to say about it, no apologies, no testimony, they can go back to the country while dominion go shopping for yachts. the next time donald trump loses the vote, you won't be around. thank you for providing dominion with so much evidence they had to cough up almost $1 billion. you can find her at the diner in hollywood square where she will be waiting tables the rest of her life. the settlement was a disappointment for trump, telling fox not to settle. the great pumpkin posted on instagram for the first time since the day before the

insurrection to unveil a second round of trump nfts. they have elvis playing guitar on a motorcycle. there is an image of trump looking on while a flaming lion kills the world. he posted a message on instagram. i am sure the fake news won't note that i am leaving the trading cards the price that was last time. i want my fans and supporters to make money. i could have raised the price higher but i did not choose to do so. i will be given no nice guy credit. [laughter] what a nice guy, only $100 for this jpeg of him stealing the liberty bell, only $100 for this image of him as king making the

little heart sign. you buy three and line them up, you spell out the name of his favorite organization. this is my favorite one. this is not one of trump barbecuing. here he is as a rare golden club. >> we did not raise the prices to slightly sell out last time. it is so easy to buy. and if you want to own a piece of history, go to collecttrumpcards.com. >> jimmy: you by 47 cards you get to have dinner with donald

at mar-a-lago. i would like to take a moment to imagine what fox news and newsmax would say if barack obama unleashed a line of cards featuring him as a king you could have dinner with. i love this is the depiction of how that dinner is going to go. two models admiring a suspiciously slender donald trump while eating a bowl of roses. he is going to wave to 500 people from across the room while they downplay green beans and salsberry state. this is not what a president does. this is what the s goonies does for money. what an embarrassing thing to do.

there is only one trump collectible. it is not a trading card. it is hpv. trump did get his hands on an endorsement from a congressman who lit up the night with this big announcement. >> what is it? >> i want to thank you for giving me the opportunity. i am honored to donald j. chump for president. >> jimmy: future endorsements will not mean anything because no one will know what anyone said for real because of ai. i bought a painting and i thought it was a steal.

i am not sure it is authentic. it is the mona lisa playing poker, probably ai. we are all like, cool, great. if you find out where i left my keys, let me know. i mentioned this guy, it is jay tapper from cnn. he has been making these pictures on his phone and texting them to me. he will write a description, what might it look like if jimmy kimmel serenaded a dolphin and the ai made this of me serenading a dolphin or something. there is a whole story line and then he says jimmy attempts to woo the dolphin and her boyfriend objects. things are not looking good.

really worried about you. your charm is winning out. success. you made the dolphin your lover. congratulations. the end. this ai has already commandeered the brain of jay tapper of cnn, who has elevated to a higher plane. ai has infiltrated music. there is a new song by drake and the weeknd. it was created by artificial intelligence. drake ai sounds as sad as the real drake. the song was created by a producer and he has a white sheet over his head. nobody knows who he is. his mom is missing a pair of sunglasses. other than that, it is the ghost of dead music.

we used some technology to make music magic tonight. in new york, the end of an error on broadway. "phantom of the opera" played its final performance on sunday night. what was the song you were singing? the music of the night, all of them. >> most of them. >> jimmy: 35 years, almost 14,000 performances. everyone in new york has seen or acted in it. it is the law and order of musicals. it is, music of the a favorite of donald trump. we thought, with the help of technology, who better to pay tribute to a spectacle that rose in popularity in the 1980s and
