xCruzo Brief

Late-night TV deepfakes are spreading online, with videos appearing to show Jimmy Kimmel—currently on summer break—commenting on news including President Trump allegedly falling asleep during a meeting and comments involving Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Generated using generative AI, the clips are framed as potentially more disruptive than other celebrity deepfakes because the format is easier to replicate and audiences often accept the context. Jed Rosenzweig, founder and editor of LateNighter.com, says “camouflage” comes from familiar thumbnails and trust in the feed. He also cites telltale signs such as odd gestures, writing that doesn’t sound like live monologue, and Kimmel disappearing after about 10 seconds as a cloned voice overlays news footage.
