Late night host Jimmy Kimmel will be headlining an upcoming fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, according to an invitation to the event shared by MS NOW contributor Teddy Schleifer.

Kimmel, along with fellow late night hosts like Stephen Colbert, has been a target of criticism from President Donald Trump, including threats of some sort of intervention from the Federal Communications Commission and calls for him to be fired. Thus far, Kimmel has managed to shrug off the attacks from the White House, other than a brief suspension that arguably raised his profile in anti-Trump circles, and just signed a contract extension with ABC last December.

On Tuesday, Schleifer shared a screenshot of the invitation to a fundraiser for the DCCC scheduled for the evening of March 10 in Los Angeles.

According to the invitation, Kimmel will be a “Special Guest” at the event, along with headliners Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). Also listed among the ambassadors, Democratic donors, and other politicos on the host committee is Shonda Rhimes, the television producer behind popular series including Grey’s Anatomy and Bridgerton.
