In a comedic twist of fate, George Santos' lawsuit against Jimmy Kimmel has been chucked out by a federal appeals court. The former congressman had tried to sue Kimmel over a segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that transformed his Cameo videos into prime comedy content. Santos claimed Kimmel violated his rights, but the court ruled otherwise, citing fair use for political commentary.

Santos had previously accused Kimmel, ABC, and Disney of copyright infringement and using fake names to purchase his Cameo videos, which Kimmel then showcased in the hilariously titled segment, “Will Santos Say It?” However, the court found Kimmel's antics fell squarely under protected commentary and criticism.

Despite Santos' appeal arguing that the clips were not sufficiently 'transformative,' the court remained unconvinced. Now, with this legal chapter closed, Santos continues his stand-up routine behind bars, serving a 7-year sentence for fraud. Kimmel, ever the comedian, joked that being sued by Santos would be a 'dream come true.'

The full appeals court's opinion is available for those who enjoy legal documents with a side of humor.
