I think the deal will be that in 2026, both parties will agree to let his contract expire. He'll finish out his run but he'll come out with some half apology and will dump nearly all political topics.

I can't find where he actually he said this though it would not surprise me. Do you happen to have it by any chance? source

I don’t see Kimmel playing by those rules for long.

He’s so beyond the bend on TDS that I don’t see how he can help himself.

Good. Then the FCC can pull their license.


That's exactly what they want. Muh, authoritarianism.

Not sure they need the FCC to pull the license.

Sinclair already has laid out what it would take for them to air Kimmel again. I don’t see him making an apology and then making large donations to approved groups like TPUSA.

Without Sinclair and the other affiliate group, ABC likely can’t afford to keep him on the air.

I’m surprised a federal judge somewhere didn’t block the termination.

Makes no difference to me personally.

Never watched the Leftist Progressive's “court jester” before and won’t watch him if he returns.

If the Lefty’s “need” this loser reinforcing their insanity under the guise of comedy, that’s ultimately on ABC and their willingness to buck popular sentiment and good business sense.

Headline from NY Post:
ABC needs to come clean on why it gave Jimmy Kimmel the boot
The first sentence of the article:
ABC brass should clarify ASAP why they suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s show: The utter silence feeds confusion, conspiracy theories and other division.

If ABC cannot or will not say Kimmel was fired for cause or some reason, they are cowards and he will be back.

Right, because like them he has no actual audience. At least not as a political pundit or whatever he currently is. I bet if he went back to comedy there’s an audience for that.

He went to lawyers ti strategize how to get out of contact.

Sounds like ABC is going to ice him.

How can this lunatic's fans miss him.....when he won't go away?

The comical part was the left acting as if a missile attack had just been launched against Switzerland or some shite.

The guy was making 16 million, and the show was losing 20 million . In what world, not turning a profit and losing a corporation millions of dollars annually allows you to keep you job? Clown world !
If the left can muster a national boycott of advertisers (they aren't going to stop going to LGBTQXYZ? Disney) then maybe, NAYBE someone kowtows to the left, but that would simply infuriate the right and where does ABC/Disney go from there?

My guess is it becomes plainly obvious to EVERYONE that Kimmell would be a firebomb if he came back on TV and the FCC would be compelled to yank the license of ABC affiliated stations. That level of escalation would cripple Disney.

They just announced Kimmel’s back so ABC folded.
