ABC's Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday announced he will be taking the summer off after facing criticism over wearing blackface in a recurring skit he performed while working on "The Man Show" on Comedy Central.

Kimmel, as a co-host of the "The Man Show," performed a recurring skit that included him dressed in blackface as then-NBA star Karl Malone. Videos and photos of the skits on the show, which ran from 1999-2004, have been circulating online recently with calls for Kimmel to apologize.

He needs the time to self-reflect, receive counselling, virtue signal, and kiss a few feet.

He was a faithful servant to his cause for years. Time for him to be sacrificed by the cause.

I'm surprised it took so long.

I love it when the left eats its own.

However, this just embolden the crazier elements of their movement.

It does not educate the casual observer to the other side of the argument.

It really always boils down to the MSM lack of even handed reporting.

ABC knew about it when they hired him.
ABC knew about it the whole time he has been on.
ABC sucks.

Literally copied his idol and current Hamptons buddy Howard Stern.

I love it when it all comes full circle and they eat their biggest supporters.

He is one of them so he has zero accountability.

So instead of making a public apology, while he cries, he takes a vacation. How white privileged
