One day after he fired shots at Fox News host Sean Hannity for being too deferential to the president’s suggestions, Kimmel turned his monologue to Melania, cracking that the sinkholes that have appeared at the president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, as well as the White House, are proof she’s attempting to leave.

“Are we sure this is a sinkhole and not one of Melania’s escape tunnels?” he asked his audience Tuesday night. “I don’t want to read into it, but she did ask for a headlamp for Mother’s Day.”

Kimmel’s wisecracks come less than two months after he publicly apologized to Hannity for making “harmful comments” in a back-and-forth over a skit on Kimmel’s show that poked fun at the first lady’s Slovenian accent.
