Jimmy Kimmel Calls America “Filthy” After Japan Trip — Has He Finally Lost All Respect for His Own Country?

Jimmy Kimmel is at it again — this time, not with a bad joke, but with a full-on insult aimed at the country that made him rich and famous. After a family trip to Japan in 2024, the late-night host returned to the U.S. and declared that America is nothing more than a “filthy and disgusting country.”

According to Kimmel, what shocked him most about Japan was the sheer level of cleanliness. He couldn’t stop raving about spotless bathrooms, claiming they were “cleaner than our operating rooms.” He marveled at Japan’s high-tech toilets that “wash you from the inside out” — toilets he says were everywhere, not just in hotels, but even in truck stops.

On top of that, he gushed over the pristine streets, pointing out how in Tokyo there are virtually no garbage cans, yet somehow no one litters. In a country with millions of people packed together, the streets are spotless — a direct contrast to America’s overflowing trash bins and dirty sidewalks.

The comparison left him embarrassed, admitting he felt ashamed of U.S. hygiene standards. Kimmel went as far as to say that being in America felt like “living at Six Flags,” while Japan was like “Disneyland.” He doubled down with a final, cutting remark: “I’ve never felt dirtier… we are like hogs compared to the Japanese.”

But here’s the bigger question: what does it say about Kimmel that instead of inspiring Americans to improve, he publicly ridicules his own country on national television? Millions of hard-working Americans don’t need another Hollywood millionaire calling them “hogs” while he lives in luxury.

Yes, Japan may be cleaner, but Kimmel’s contempt reveals more about his arrogance than about America’s streets. The truth is, America doesn’t need to be insulted by one of its own late-night hosts. It needs real solutions — not late-night lectures.

At the end of the day, Jimmy Kimmel didn’t just praise Japan. He trashed America. And for a man who built his career here, that says more about him than it does about us.
