Good, but he doesn't care. He is a multi millionaire. I bet his staff isn't too happy though.

The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.

“In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving,” he added.

" ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesman told NBC News on Wednedsday.




That's fricking it? Good fricking God people want to talk about cancel culture than celebrate shite like this. I don't want to hear anyone celebrating this ever whine or bitch about cancel culture ever again. Y'all don't despise it y'all just don't like when it happens to your side

It doesn’t help when the kid he’s talking about was shacked up with a tranny and was anything but a MAGA supporter.

So, I guess your side is the left?

Why do you care? There are more laughs on Tigerdroppings than Jimmy Kimmel live. You will be OK.

Because it's a dangerous road to go down, at worst you can say he implied that dude was a Republican. Regardless his comments are hardly any worse than how most of the media has fumbled this entire story. From the shooter was trans, to he donated to Trump, to he was a socialist, to whatever comes next.

And y'all happy about this are aware that eventually the pendulum is going to swing back eventually that's how it always works.

Don't be fooled into thinking they care about Charlie or disagree with Jimmy. They are only removing it from the air to avoid a boycott by half of their audience.

Or it's a necessary road to go down to get "entertainment" shows away from the nasty business of politics.

You have to understand his ratings were terrible. Nexstar was looking for something to get rid of him and he opened his mouth.

The left has been doing this ever since Obama was in office. That is why people are happy now that the left is getting payback.

muh slippery slope fallacy

I am sure they've been looking for a reason to axe his failing show for a while and now they have their chance.

The people screeching to cancel anyone who says something derogatory about Charlie Kirk DGAF about him either. The dude talked non stop about being anti cancel culture and supporting free speech.

I love how your entire argument is just based on mere assumptions. This is the second big name late night talk show host to get the axe after making comments that angered the Trump administration. I'm not saying there's a connection here but it is insane that these two events happened relatively close to each other.

Or networks are noticing a shift in the culture and see that people are tired of this left and right nonsense and want things more middle of the road.

Thing is he didn't even say anything about Kirk. He called out the right for immediately trying to pin this on the left, when even the FBI has not released a motive. Hell before they even had a suspect you had big names saying so.

At worst Kimmel implied the killer is a Trump supporter which would be reckless but I'm not holding some late night tv host to the same standards as actual news channels

Colbert was losing cash and the late-night TV shows just aren't worth the cost to the network.

They're both late night shows that were hemorrhaging cash, it is not much of a stretch.

If the Trump administration really wanted to take down someone who is "speaking out" about them then they would've taken down these harpies.
