See a preview from the latest 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' segment._  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Sep 26, 2017 3:17 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Sep 26, 2017 3:17 PM UTC Welcome back to “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets,” the always-viral segment from Jimmy Kimmel in which all our favorite A-listers come face to face with the most disparaging comments made about them online. From _Wonder Woman_‘s [Gal Gadot](http://time.com/4870873/comic-con-gal-gadot-comforts-fan/) defending her body against haters to _Silicon Valley_‘s [Kumail Nanjiani](http://time.com/4825536/kumail-nanjiani-the-big-sick-profile/) coming back with the ultimate “your mom” response, Kimmel has once again assembled an all-star lineup of celebrities willing to acknowledge their naysayers — usually with a comeback in store. (See: Jennifer Lawrence dryly accepting the raunchy insult levied in her direction with [signature good humor](http://time.com/4943429/jennifer-lawrence-on-bar-fight/).) “Emma Watson seems like the type of girl who I would be friends with for like 3 days and then get really sick of but not tell her,” Watson reads out, looking injured. “Jake Gyllenhaal has the most punchable face of all time. I’d like nothing more than to sock him in his ugly, soft, starry-eyed pug face,” Gyllenhaal recites, indeed appearing starry-eyed as ever. “Elisabeth Moss looks STUNNING,” the [_Handmaid’s Tale_](http://time.com/collection/influencers-2017/4934668/margaret-atwood-and-elisabeth-moss-2/) star reads, seeming pleased — at first. But the tweet takes a turn for the worst: “I think she can clean up well, despite my grandmother’s harsh opinion that she’s hideous.” Alec Baldwin even gives some air time to President Donald Trump’s [notoriously poor opinion](http://time.com/4945509/alec-baldwin-emmys-acceptance-speech-trump/) of his work.
