Kimmel was [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Goodman previously confirmed on Sunday, May 3, that Giuliani, 81, was hospitalized in critical condition in Florida for pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he\u2019s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak,\u201d the rep told the <em>New York Times<\/em> at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The former mayor\u2019s doctor, Dr. <strong>Maria Ryan<\/strong>, subsequently revealed to Fox News on Monday, May 4, that Giuliani\u2019s health declined so rapidly that he\u2019d been visited by a priest to deliver last rites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a fighter \u2014 the way he was yesterday in such a critical condition, he did have a priest come anoint him,\u201d Dr Ryan told the outlet. \u201cAnd all the prayers from around \u2014 it\u2019s like a miracle.

(Giuliani traveled throughout New York City on that day to assess the scale of the collapse of the World Trade Center towers.
