When Jimmy Kimmel learned that George Santos was on Cameo, the segment "Will George Say It?" was created. For the segment, "Jimmy Kimmel Live" staffers submitted ridiculous Cameo requests to the former congressman. On the December 7 episode of the show, the late night host aired several Cameos that Santos had unwittingly made for them, which included one about a fictitious woman and her dog. "Hey Brenda, I wanted to congratulate you on successfully cloning your beloved schnauzer, Adolf," Santos said in one custom-made clip.

News of his Cameos being used on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" made its way back to Santos, who fired back at Kimmel for using his footage. "I showed some of them on the air on Thursday, and now he's demanding $20,000 from me to be paid a commercial rate," the comedian said on the December 11 episode of the late night show. "Can you imagine if I get sued by George Santos for fraud? ... It would be like a dream come true," he joked.

Days later, that wish came to fruition as Santos took legal action. "We are writing to congratulate you — your 'dream' of being sued by Mr. Santos may indeed come true," his lawyer, Andrew Mancilla wrote on December 12, in a legal document obtained by the New York Post. "You should have obtained Mr. Santos' consent," the letter added. It appeared Santos' major issue was not being properly compensated, although the politician said he made a substantial sum soon after joining Cameo.
