ou have to figure they have been looking for a reason to shitcan his underperforming show.


Yeah. I bet they don't replace him. "Late night" shows are dying. They are a big money sink They could probably run Greys Anatomy reruns and get decent enough \viewership numbers while not having to pay much.

It's also hilarious that the DNCs mouthpieces Colbert and Kimmel won't be on the air for the midterms.

Has anyone seen anything from WSJ reporting this? It isn't on their Xwitter and there are no news stories about it that I could find.

I see the Nexstar stuff, but not an ABC cancellation.

I stand corrected. ABC has now announced it will be indefinitely through all networks.

Do I agree with his comments? Absolutely not.

But this is a slippery slope.

So this seems real - mult Outlets reporting it

Nexstar, which owns a couple dozen ABC affiliates, has said it will preempt Kimmel on its networks. I can't find the WSJ report that ABC has canceled the show completely.

ETA: Now it is actually being reported as ABC pulling the show.

Fallon and Seth Meyers have managed to stay out of the loony political shite for the most part. They still do left-leaning skits and monologues but's it's more in jest than it is full of hate.


And that’s ok.

You have to have a sense of humor about yourself. It keeps you balanced.

Cope with what? Nexstart owns 33 ABC affiliates out of ~220. This is not real if they're claiming ALL ABC affiliates are going to pull Kimmel.



Variety and The Hollywood Reporter are both reporting that ABC followed suit.

This is confusing Is the network or just the Nextar affiliates? Very different.

His comments were problematic because he outright *lied* that the shooter was a Republican.

Lying/false reporting has historically been grounds for termination in media and journalism

We're past that.

The govt is punishing colleges and American students for anti Israel protests... by calling them anti Semitic

Should the head of the FCC be talking like this?

ABC has the option to not cancel the show. It could stand by Kimmel if it wants. It seems ABC made a business decision.
