‘No Stars Anymore': Trump Jokes About Low Ratings for Oscars Broadcast

Sunday's broadcast included a few barbs that host Jimmy Kimmel directed toward the White House

President Donald Trump says the problem with the Oscars is "we don't have Stars anymore," except for him.

Viewership of Sunday's Academy Awards broadcast plunged to a record-low viewership of 26.5 million people. According to the Nielsen company, that's a 20 percent drop from the 33 million people who watched last year's show.

Trump tweets Tuesday: "Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don't have Stars anymore - except your President (just kidding, of course)!"

Sunday's broadcast included a few barbs that host Jimmy Kimmel directed toward the White House.

Not one to let Trump have the last word, Kimmel responded late Tuesday.
