It sounds like his contract was approaching its end anyway. And I bet we learn that they were losing money just like Colbert was so this may have simply been their way to nip his show in the bud.

I'm 100% speculating on them losing money but it shouldn't surprise anyone if they were considering that they had smaller market share than Colbert and roughly equal production values.

Probably this…also probably had their attorneys look at FCC rules and determine the FCC had a violations case…and those same attorneys probably determined that his estate would have a defamation case, and those same attorneys probably readily remember Trump beating ABC/Stephanopolus in court for slander/defamation which cost them millions…

Not sure how I feel about this but the culture shift over the last year is undeniable.
This is absolutely a good thing. The rhetoric from media on the left has been helping to cause the violence. If they won't tone it down voluntarily, then they leave their employers no choice but to cut them loose.


I don't know, I (and most people for the entire history of human civilization) have put the comedians in their own special category when it comes to speech and the Overton window. The court jester was the only one who (sometimes) got away with saying anything and everything about the king as long as it was funny. We have always made very unique and specific exceptions in our societies for them.

Now I recognize Kimmel is rarely funny anymore and his monologue about the shooter wasn't either, but something about taking platforms from comedians on the basis of personal offense or political persuasion has always rubbed me the wrong way. Disney has every right to do it and this isn't a free speech violation or anything of the sort, I just don't know that I like the precedent. We've complained for years about the left trying to cancel comedians who make jokes at their expense, even unfunny ones.
Then look at this way. Jimmy Kimmel was fired for job performance. He's a bad comedian. No one is sending him to the Gulag or sentencing him to death. He's unemployed, not "deplatformed."

and the poor fellow they're freaking out about is still a free multimillionaire. ABC can find a new host for a new show that more people might like. The world still turns.

A big part of me does believe this reeks of him soon to get the axe anyways and now he gets to keep his dignity…and not only that, this has riled up terrible people to love him even more, so he just became way more of a hot commodity amongst insane libbtards

Schumer doesn't think that. But he does think his base is stupid enough to believe it and he is probably right.

I really use to like him and Adam Corolla together

He took this gig and just lost his mind


I loved The Man Show when it was on while I was at A&M, it was a weekly ritual for me and my buddies. Great times.

I think he and Corolla are still great friends, even though Corolla seems a lot more libertarian over the last several years. If it were me I don't think I could stay friends with someone like Kimmel.

If the sun rising in the east suddenly started pissing liberal idiots off for whatever reason, then schumer and his fellow dimtards would hold a press conference and blame Trump.

It's stupid, but it's what they do.

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Except, ABC/Disney doesn't hold the licenses.

Nexstar, Sinclair, Tegna and others that own the affiliates do...

I remember when Kimmel was funny and likeable. He was on the man show. Guess Adam Carolla really did carry that whole thing


They both used to be very funny, then Kimmel got to a level of fame where certain things are no longer considered acceptable. He also started dating obnoxiously liberal women.


And now Carolla is calling it real. I never realized how intelligent he was... Kimmel not so much


Adam Carolla is very intelligent. I've been a fan since listening to him on the Love Line radio show in the late 90's. His podcast is excellent. He used to be a moderate until dealing with all Covid madness living in LA and all that swung him and Dr. Drew btw, to the right. The left tried to cancel both of them for speaking the truth about covid. He actually came to OKC and did a comedy show the year before last and my wife and I had a table on the front row and got to meet him afterward. It was awesome because I've always been a fan.

Your side started it and set the rules.

Now that those rules are being used against your side.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Like firing the head coach for going to strip clubs. No one cared when he was winning. ABC doesn't give two rips about what he said, they were just looking for any excuse they could find to fire him.

That said, couldn't have happened to a better person.

I thank what we are seeing is that whoever the leftist group; the real global power brokers, are having to react to the lack of funds coming in from the USGOV and other money laundering schemes and they are having to cut spending. Weird right?

Kimnel and Colbert were really never as good as it was required to headline those time slots. But all that money the left had could buy people and get them to carry the water for the left. Lots of money allows for lots of gaslighting.

These people are getting fired because they hate Trump and they are victims of retribution. They are getting fired because they are not generating enough honest cash flow for the network and with the extra payola from the leftist…..well the company's will go under.

People are getting fired…because they have to Gen income. They would have been fired 10 years ago for the same reasons.

Karl Malone approves this thread...I wonder if they can just air an hour of the Juggies in lieu of Kimmel, much more entertaining and arguably better talent

I honestly believe that there is some real truth to NGO's getting shut down and the cultural shift we are seeing in at least some parts of media…
