Jimmy Kimmel says 'unvaccinated' people shouldn't get ICU beds in hospitals

• In his opening monologue, Kimmel had blunt comments about those who are unvaccinated.
• "Vaccinated person having a heart attack? Yes, come right on in," he began his joke.
• "Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo? Rest in peace, wheezy," Kimmel deadpanned.

Jimmy Kimmel returned from his summer hiatus Tuesday, sharing his blunt thoughts on those who've chosen not to get the coronavirus vaccine. In his opening monologue, the comedian said unvaccinated people should not take up ICU beds in hospitals.

Kimmel then noted that it wasn't a very happy Labor Day weekend as coronavirus cases are up 300% from a year ago.

"Dr. Fauci said if hospitals get any more crowded they're going to have to make some very tough choices about who gets an ICU bed," Kimmel said.

"That choice doesn't seem so tough to me," he continued. "Vaccinated person having a heart attack? Yes, come right on in, we'll take care of you. Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo? Rest in peace, wheezy."

Kimmel was referring to reports that hoards of people are taking ivermectin, typically used to treat parasites in animals, instead of getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

After his opening monologue, the host sat down with comedian Tiffany Haddish and "The Sopranos" creator David Chase. Imagine Dragons also performed during Tuesday's premiere.

The late-night host recently returned from a months-long vacation from the show. Kimmel reportedly told viewers at the end of June that he was going to take a few months off from hosting in order to spend more time with his family.

During his absence, celebrities like Maren Morris, Julie Bowen, and Sean Hayes filled in as guest hosts for Kimmel. Last summer, the comedian took a similar vacation, also enlisting the help of A-listers to take over for him during his sabbatical.
