Kimmel sounded off on Trump privately pushing for Paramount to make "Rush Hour 4" with controversial director Brett Ratner.

Paramount Studios will distribute Rush Hour 4, bringing back Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, with director Brett Ratner attached after pitches for years.

Rush Hour 4 is reportedly in the works at Paramount, which merged with Skydance Media earlier this year.
