The late night host was discussing his return to the screen after his show was temporarily axed over his comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The remarks prompted an outcry, followed by celebrations from Trump when it was announced that Kimmel was being yanked off air.
Kimmel was reinstated a week later, but has recorded sliding ratings ever since with viewership down more than 70 percent in his first week since his return.
In his first interview since the scandal, Kimmel told the Bloomberg Screentime Conference: 'I'd love to have Trump on the show, for sure.'
However, he admitted that the president might be hesitant given his long history of criticizing Trump.
'I don't know...alright I'll ask him,' the host joked before admitting that his inflammatory comments on Kirk had been, 'intentionally and maliciously mischaracterized'.
Kimmel's viewership has dipped 71 percent in one week since his triumphant return.
