‘Kimmel’ Guest Host Diego Luna Turns Fox News Mockery Into ‘Delicious’ Moment

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” guest host Diego Luna laughed off Fox News anchor Laura IngrahamThursday after the Mexican actor’s impassioned defense Monday of undocumented workers appeared to set off the conservative news host.

“I didn’t do this for the recognition or the money,” Luna said Thursday. “Because there’s nothing. But there has been such an outpouring of support over the past few days. And last night... I got the highest honor a late-night host can receive.”

Luna went on to play a clip of Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo complaining Wednesday about Luna’s Monday monologue and asking, “When did the comedy and entertainment shows, Laura, become an excuse for boorish political commentary?”

“Oh no,” Ingraham replied, before appearing to read from a prompter: “Actor Diego Luna, guest host of — I don’t know who that is — guest hosted for Jimmy Kimmel. I don’t watch, I don’t think I’ve ever watched a Jimmy Kimmel.”

The conservative pundits went on to play a portion of Luna’s monologue from Monday, in which he noted that many undocumented workers “pay a lot of taxes,” prompting Arroyo to wonder if Luna was “speaking from experience” before asking, “Why do we care?”

Luna is the face of Disney’s “Star Wars” series “Andor,” which has earned eight Emmy nods and is a spin-off of 2016’s “Rogue One” — which stars Luna and grossed over $1 billion worldwide. Ingraham said, “I don’t even know who he is,” prompting Arroyo to inform her.

“Oh, OK, sorry I missed that,” Ingraham replied sarcastically in the clip.

“Oh, thank you,” said Luna over applause and laughter as the clip concluded. “By the way, Jimmy, that’s my gift to you. Yeah, whatever name this woman has, I got her to finally watch your show.”

Luna didn’t stop there.

“I had a dream last night that this was a Mexican talk show, with Latin music and delicious food,” he said. “Then I woke up and remembered, ‘Oh yeah, I’m the host, I can do whatever the fuck I want.’ So tonight our band, Cleto y los Cletones, they have gone full mariachi.”

The camera then revealed Kimmel’s house band,Cleto and the Cletones, in full mariachi regalia, as Luna announced that he invited local restaurant owners Eduardo Ruiz and Alberto Bañuelos — who run the Mexican eatery Burritos La Palma — “to feed the whole audience.”
