Jimmy Kimmel this week said that he has lost at least half of his fanbase due to his anti-Trump jokes on his late-night show.
"I have lost half of my fans — maybe more than that," the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host said on the "Naked Lunch" podcast Thursday, adding that "10 years ago among Republicans I was the most popular talk show host," according to research.
He said when former President Trump was first running for office ABC executives "hinted" he should back off on his jokes about the candidate.

The loss is not due to anti Trump nature of his jokes. It is the unfairness and imbalance that turns people off. That is true of all Lefty comedians.

Where did they come up with the figure of 18.9 million subscribers on Kimmel's You Tube Channel? Sounds pretty farfetched. Wonder what Adam Corolla, who has more talent in his little left toe than Kimmel, thinks of his former co-host on the Man Show?

The late-night leftist pseudo comedians are really getting full of themselves lately, imagining they are some kind of heroic revolutionaries fighting the evil capitalists with clever snark. They've even grown their scraggly beards to pose like some stand-up Che clones. Give it up, Doofusses. You look ridiculous. And you're not funny.

Johnny Carson made political jokes about both parties, and they were just that... jokes. Kimmel tells hate filled one liners that leave the audience cold.

Jokes? Other than snarky left wing comments, there was never a punch line.

Spite and nastiness is not funny, Kimmel. ABC should have accepted your resignation.

Eat it Kimmel. You own this. Maybe you're afraid to back off the Trump jokes cause then you'll be exposed for the unfunny no-talent hack you really are.

It’s not the anti-Trump jokes per se that tanked Kimmel’s ratings. It’s his typical leftist contempt and disrespect toward people who disagree with his politics. Who’s going to volunteer to watch themselves be verbally assaulted? Kimmel is a second rate Hollywood entertainer who seems to think he has some sort of political influence. He’s preaching to the choir because his remaining audience are the same liberal loons as he is.

He was a snarky, not too bright second banana on Win Ben Stein’s Money. I often wondered how Ben could stand him.

Jimmy who? Why this person is a public figure—let alone hosts his own network show—remains a mystery. He has a face for radio and voice for TV. Needs to work that kink out. He was and remains an irritating smart-ass shmoe.

So, Kimmel was brought in by ABC executives and warned off being a jerk, but Jimmy refused and doubled down on being a world class jerk. What a guy!

Ratings on late night shows going down is due to two things. 1. They are not funny but, just depressing to watch. 2. Gutfeld
Kimmel used to be funny back in time when he was on Ben Stein’s Money

Colbert is even worse. I once had the misfortune of overhearing one of his monologs. It was nothing but non stop Trump bashing, absolutely disgusting. No comedy whatsoever.

Speaking as an EX ever single night Kimmel watcher for more than 15 years, I stopped dead in my tracks with his first politically biased statements and have never gone back. Are "they" counting those of us who were regulars for multi years back who stopped at the first inklings? I suspect not. If they did losing "half" his audience would be a very generous number. (And I am sure Jimmy thinks of himself as a brave soul, willing to give up ratings for "his values"---this from the guy who got away with painting himself Black on The Man Show and beyond. He is no hero.)

I don't know who Jimmy Kimmel is or remember if I have ever seen him, but he must be bad. Liberals never learn so Kimmel will continue until he has no audience. FJK

Remember Johnny? More recently, remember Jay Leno who was "middle-of-the-road" as well despite his wife's urgings. If Jimmy Kimmel was a "star" before getting the Tonight gig, I don't know how. His monologues are generally a harangue of one sort of another, funny as a heart attack. But that's the sort of "comedy" the sought demographic demands. It's not a bunch of "old folks" watching anymore. Does Budweiser still sponsor...if they do, they're pushing "Ultra", not the "King of Beers."

anyone remember when Jimmy Kimmel was partnered with Ben Stein on "Win Ben Stein's Money"? - thought for sure he was everything but a demcommie back then, because Ben Stein has not even a hint of demcommie character - oh well, Kimmel obviously drank the kool ade

Wow, I love being a trend-setter. I couldn't stand Jimmy Kimmel the first time I saw him. So I was never a fan of this pathetic loser.
When he first came on the air, I watched about 2 minutes of his show. He was not the least bit funny, just hateful and evil. I have never watched him again, and never will!

My comment on Kimmel was already written by SALady (#35).
At 10:30 PM when his show comes on, I'm usually reading Lucianne, Citizen Free Press, or Whatfinger's General Dispatch.

Does anybody remember Johnny Carson? People loved his show because it was funny. Jimmy wants to be controversial, who cares? Another Hollywood liberal who thinks personal hatred matters. Not very funny. I'm above all the hicks who live in flyover country. I'm superior because I'm so intelligent I don't care about the bottom half of the audience. They don't matter.
