Late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel and Fox News' Sean Hannity have engaged in a war of words this week, which by late this evening devolved into Kimmel tweeting a sexually suggestive photo-shopped picture of Hannity with a clown and Hannity threatening a "tick tock" on "pervert" Kimmel during his show Friday.

The feud started when Hannity called out Kimmel for making fun of first lady Melania Trump on Monday. His jokes centered on her participation at the White House Easter Egg Roll and her Eastern European accent.

The insults Hannity hurled at Kimmel included "dispicable disgrace" and "ass clown."





Kimmel responded to Hannity's attacks Thursday during "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on ABC, harping largely on Hannity's "ass clown" remark. He said under the Obama administration Hannity was "unable to get an erection," but now with President Trump in the White House he is "unable to have anything but an erection" that is "driving him mad."





Kimmel also asked why Hannity is "openly fantasizing about clowns in the ass," which went along with Kimmel's clown tweet Thursday evening.

“This is the guy who defended the multiply alleged pedophile Roy Moore, and I’m a despicable disgrace? I'm the ass clown,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “Here’s the thing. If I’m an ass clown — and I might very well be — you, Sean, are the whole ass circus.”





Hannity later tweeted at Kimmel, calling him a junior version of Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood producer who was at the enter of a massive sex scandal that rocked the film industry late last year. More than 100 women have accused him of sexual misconduct over a period of decades, including sexual harassment, assault and rape.



So @jimmykimmel (aka Harvey Weinstein jr) I’ll have much more tomorrow...... @Disney Tick Tock.. Best Sean #pervertkimmel — Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) April 6, 2018



"I’ll have much more tomorrow...... @Disney Tick Tock.. Best Sean #pervertkimmel," Hannity said. Hannity also shared an old sketch from Comedy Central's "The Man Show" in which Kimmel, years ago, pranked people by walking up to them with a fake erection.





Kimmel replied to Hannity's warning of a "tick tock," saying, "I can't wait!"

Hannity fired back: "Game on..... Oh ask the boss @Disney Bob about the conversation we had about you. Best Sean #pervertkimmel."

He appeared to be referring to Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, which owns ABC.

Kimmel hosted the Academy Awards in March, and said Weinstein deserved to be kicked out of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences amid the sexual misconduct controversy. He also said Hollywood needs to lead the way on ending sexual harassment in the workplace.
