Former Presidents Expressed Concern for Jimmy Kimmel After He Talked About His Son's Health Problems

Jimmy Kimmel shared an update on his son Billy's health after the infant underwent emergency heart surgery at just 3 days old in April.

"He's doing great," the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on Thursday, August 10. "Young Billy just made his first visit to our office today. He's juggling. He's translating Flaubert from French into English. He's really an amazing kid. No — he smiles. That's pretty much it. He is very interested in ceiling fans. He likes those a lot. I could get him to pay the same amount for Netflix just to watch ceiling fans."

After Kimmel shared Billy's story, former President Barack Obama reached out to him. "He sent a very nice letter. He wished us the best and thanked us for speaking," Kimmel said.

Obama, 56, wasn't the only politician to send his best wishes. "President [Bill] Clinton sent a letter. President [George W.] Bush sent a very nice letter. A number of congresspeople sent notes," the late-night host told THR. "My goal always is to not make this a red or blue issue, because I don't think it is."

Kimmel hopes to have President Donald Trump, who didn't reach out to the comedian after his emotional monologue, on his show one day.
