There was one thing that overshadowed the entire night.During his monologue, Kimmel made a joke that didn't really sit well with viewers.

Viewers were far from happy with the star and didn't hold back with their comments.The jab in question was directed toward fellow late-night host John Oliver.
After Oliver's acceptance speech for Outstanding Variety Talk Series, Kimmel took a moment to make a quick joke about calling ICE. Yep, really.Many dubbed the joke as hugely tone-deaf.
