Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, received a unique and satirical award from Jimmy Kimmel during his book tour stop on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The award, named the '2026 FIFA Skydance Paramount Netflix Warner Bros. Big Ass Lipton Cup O’Peace', was a playful take on Donald Trump's desire for the Nobel Peace Prize. The host, Jimmy Kimmel, presented the award to a Newsom look-a-like, who humorously mimicked the governor's mannerisms. Newsom, known for his public mockery of Trump, accepted the award with a mix of humor and sarcasm, suggesting that it comes with a third term in office.
This award is part of Kimmel's ongoing satirical approach to Trump's aspirations. In a previous segment, Kimmel offered Trump one of his awards if ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) pulled out of Minneapolis. Newsom, who has been vocal about his differences with Trump on various platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), expressed his gratitude for the 'historic' award, claiming it to be the most prestigious peace award in human history, surpassing the Nobel Peace Prize. He even suggested that Mother Teresa would agree, adding a touch of humor to the situation. Newsom's response sparked a mix of amusement and commentary on social media, with many praising the satirical nature of the award and the governor's ability to turn a mockery into a positive.
