Jimmy Kimmel pokes fun at Tucker Carlson getting mauled by demon: 'He got Babadook'd!'

Jimmy Kimmel is poking fun at Tucker Carlson after the political commentator revealed in a Christian documentary that he got mauled by a demon in bed: 'He got Babadook'd!'

The late-night host weighed in on a collection of increasingly outrageous political headlines during his Jimmy Kimmel Live monologue on Monday, including conservative commentator Tucker Carlson ’s recent admission that he was mauled by a demon while in bed with his wife and their four dogs. The 56-year-old’s joke is a nod to the 2014 horror film, which saw widowed mother Amelia (Essie Davis) and her son Sam (Noah Wiseman) plagued by a demonic entity living in their home named the Babadook. In a follow-up clip, Carlson explained that he rushed to the bathroom after surviving the supernatural attack, where he discovered “four claw marks on either side” of his torso and left shoulder that were still bleeding.
