Jimmy Kimmel fired

[Maximum Overkill 2,291]

Jimmy Kimmel's show, 'Jilly Kimmel Live,' was suspended indefinitely by the Nexstar Media Group from their ABC affiliate channels over the Late-night show host's comments on Charlie Kirk. The decision was announced by Nextar Media Group in a statement on Wednesday.

My understanding is Nexstar had 32 stations, and now per the WSJ, Disney apparently is suspending the show now too which I assume means all stations.

I don't like Kimmel, but this seems excessive.  But, hey, maybe he'll win an emmy now.

I just dont understand why Kimmel couldn't just say thoughts prayers to his family and we hope for an end to political violence.

Nope.

Perhaps people will hold our Prez accountable for the crazy shet he says now…nah impossible.

Nope.   

Or say nothing, but I'd argue Kimmel isn't a news show, so getting the ideology of the shooter wrong isn't a big deal.

Because he’s a liberal. 

[thegeneral 3,403]

What did the comedian say that has people upset?

[supermike80 2,032]

Silly little Ron is mad at Trump.  But it was Disney that made the decision.

Lol

TRUMMPPPPPPP!!!!

Well I'm saying it shouldn't have been big enough to warrant something.  This is some Kim Jung Un sh¡t.  I don't like it.  I don't like it one bit.

My understanding is that he said it was a maga that killed kirk and maga was trying to win political points from it.

Stupid statement and not even a joke, but Kimmel is a show monkey that dances for money.  I wonder why would anyone care what he says?  Certainly doesn't warrant cancelling his show.

Disney just needed a reason and they got one.

Besides, if you don't like what people say, you're supposed to put a bullet through their jugular.

Well at a minimum, if that happens, you should make sure to point how sh!tty of a person he is.

My 15 minutes of research leads me to believe the FCC chairman, Brenden Carr, made some comments threatening to take action if the broadcasters didn't.  He even suggested affiliates like Nextstar should preempt the programming. 

Seems like they didn't want any of that smoke from the FCC.  I guess Kimmel wasn't worth the trouble.

Then I thought to myself, "is this trump weaponizing the FCC against people he doesn't like?" Well Trump did appoint Carr.  But Biden did also.  Carr is a former lawyer and can probably handle himself against outside influence, but this seems draconian as fock.

Everyone knows this is the proper response to people getting murdered by some crazy shithead!

His employer did. Mostly because his ratings sucked

ABC has every right to cancel him over what he said if they so choose.  

What I don't like is the FCC applying pressure to get him cancelled over BS.

Yup, trump didnt like being mocked so he told carr to threaten ABC, and ABC folded.  It's gonna keep happening until everyone stands up to him

I think we can agree these people picking and choosing what comments are acceptable is pretty rich. 

[Tree of Knowledge 2,031]

Last time ABC gave him a vacation when the heat got on for the Karl Malone skit.  Hopefully, Disney realizes the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

In the Trump WH all comedy and programming in general must be run through a series of their filters for approval.

Thank you for your attention on this matter

He spreads fake news.

but but but Rosanne and Tim allen were cancelled too, so this is okay. 

 

I'm not sure why people are surprised. The censorship is only going to get worse.

So he can be replaced by  “Late Night with Stephen Miller” show with side kick Nick Fuentes and band leader Kanye!

The shark move by Disney would be to replace Kimmel with The Father Trump Variety Hour.  Ratings would be YUGE!!!

Exactly.  They want to silence dissent.
