LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Jimmy Kimmel has made a habit of making waves with his hilarious skits involving celebrities for his “Jimmy Kimmel Live” late night show, and it appears he’s done it again.

Jimmy Kimmel has recruited Kathy Griffin and George Takei for a new parody titled: “Kate Is Enough: The Kate Gosselin Story.”

The trailer for the fake biopic about the ex-couple from TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” features the Bravo “My Life On The D-List” star as Kate Gosselin and “Star Trek” legend as Jon Gosselin.

In photos from the trailer, obtained by Access Hollywood, Kathy nails Kate’s trademark haircut – spiky in the back, flat ironed in the front – with a blonde wig.

In one of the photos, which you can see HERE, Kathy, as Kate, catches George, as Jon, in an embrace with a cheerleader.

In another shot, Kathy, once again as Kate, shows off her bikini body poolside.

The clip can be seen on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Wednesday September 9 at 12:05 AM on ABC
