I think it was public pressure that did it more than the FCC threats.

Has there been a worse life arc than Jimmy Kimmel? Guy went from The Man Show to the sniveling woke pussy we see today.

Bahahahahahahaha, this is great. What an idiot. He's been lying for years when it comes to conservatives. Maybe he can go back to hosting the man show or whatever it was called.

Dude blatantly spreading misinformation on a broadcast network, GTFO. He isn't going to jail over it, just loses one of his platforms to lie from.


Yeah all these fricking liberal pussies blatantly spreading lies all over all the fricking time.

It’s time they are held accountable.

Didn't Disney fire someone for a hitler comparison years back on Twitter?

FAFO - Disney don't play

Your side is just now figuring out the rabbit has the gun now. There are limits to what decent people will put up with, this was over the line. Saves him the embarrassment of being canceled for low viewership I guess?

Sorry we’re the only consistent position.


For the record I was also furious when Disney cancelled Gina Carano for her conservative views.

Networks are looking for ways to axe these late night shows. Colbert was losing like $50 million plus a year, I would assume Kimmel is the same. Fallon loses money on network but has millions of upon millions of YouTube subscribers where they clip and make a ton of money. The other late nights don’t.

I really should save this, because you are, collectively, the largest, most autistic group of people in history and the responses shouldn't be surprising at this point. Nevertheless...

I have no issue with a business firing someone over saying hateful shite. I do however have a problem with the government in any capacity going after anyone for saying hateful shite. ABC fired him, good, he’s an a-hole. If Pam Bondi goes after him, or the FCC, that’s not good. We better be careful what we wish for, we just might get it.

Oh yes there has, and it’s Jimmy’s best friend Howard Stern. He’s gone from the King of All Media to going full Howard Hughes cowering in fear in his basement with bottles of piss around him imagining Imus taunting him.

I watch Seinfeld reruns at that time slot. Have for over a decade.

I think they could put Seinfeld reruns in place of Kimmel and it’d get better ratings than Kimmel despite being on more than one channel.

I for one welcome the days ahead where anyone who says anything remotely controversial gets canceled by one of the two mobs of retards. Identity politics is rotting the brains of a large portion of society.

That’s exactly what happened.
