Stormy Daniels Set to Appear on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'

January 26, 2018 at 09:46

The adult entertainer, who allegedly had an affair with Donald Trump and was paid hush money weeks before the election, will appear on Kimmel the night of the State of the Union speech.

Jimmy Kimmel has landed one of the biggest "political" interviews of 2018 so far, after he tweeted that Stormy Daniels, the porn star at the center of a bizarre White House sex scandal, was booked to appear on his show.

In almost too perfect timing, Daniels' appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! will coincide with President Trump's first State of the Union speech on Jan. 30.

Daniels came to national prominence after The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, had paid $130,000 in hush money to the erotic actress as part of a non-disclosure settlement weeks before the 2016 election.

The WSJ reported that Stephanie Clifford (Daniels' real name), had a sexual encounter with Trump after she met him at a golf tournament at Lake Tahoe in 2006, sometime after Trump married Melania Knauss in 2005.

I am pleased to announce that the very gifted @StormyDaniels will be on #Kimmel Tuesday 1/30 after the #StateOfTheUnion. I have MANY QUESTIONS! #MAGA
