Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT.
Kirk had remarked on X in 2017, “Jimmy Kimmel isn’t funny.” His observation gained attention again on social media as users reacted to the network’s decision to remove Kimmel following backlash over his on-air comments about Kirk’s assassination.

ABC didn't make this decision because it was the right thing to do. Another big lawsuit would have been coming their way very soon.

Jimmy, you should've stuck with The Man Show. America will be a better place, not having to see your sorry a$$ on t.v.

Free speech does not include the acts of violence and murder. It also doesn't include talking about it and defending violent, murderous actions.

Contrary to an illegal informed and perpetually wrong Chuck Schumer, Jimmy Kimmel wasn't canceled due to government pressure. It was Nexstar Media Group, owner of over 200 television stations, that decided to remove Kimmel's show. ABC followed. While Kimmel may have his first amendment right of free speech, he is not immune from the consequences of the content of his speech. With rights come responsibilities to use those rights correctly.

A few weeks ago Kimmel told his ex lover, Sarah Silverman, that he has dual citizenship with Italy. Your show is done now Jimmy. There's no reason for you to stay in the country you hate. Move to Italy so we can be rid of you. Ciao, Jimmy!

A foreign liberal newspaper introduced its readers to the Kimmel suspension by saying that it was for comments he made " on the death Charly Kirk, a political activist and Trump ally". On the death of?? it was cold blooded murder for political purposes. The same politics which Kimmel espoused nightly from his perch. He was fired for mocking that death and celebrating murder. One of the most precious resources we have is public bandwidth. Every celebrity who gets in front of the camera is a custodian of that public resource. Kimmel betrayed that trust. IMO, it is not a suspending but a hanging offense.

The buried story is why ABC tolerated 40 million losses from that show for years and years, as it spewed leftist talking points - non-stop. That's not how business is behave. It's how propaganda arms operate when they are well funded. By who? Maybe a REALjournalist will step up.

Thoughtless headline or perhaps I remain too sensitive. Charlie Kirk has assuredly had his last laugh.

Democrats seem confused about what free speech actually means. If Kimmel wants to stand on a street corner and mumble about Kirk’s assassin being MAGA he can do that all day long. Kimmel was an employee of ABC. The corporate board has final editorial control over speech on their network, not Kimmel. They didn’t drop him over threats from the FCC or potential litigation. There’s no way the FCC could have successfully pulled their license. They dropped him because the affiliate owner groups dropped him. Money talks. Kimmel has zero entitlement to be employed by ABC.

From another news source: "Sinclair Broadcast Group says it will air a tribute to Charlie Kirk on Friday across all of its ABC-affiliated TV stations. The special will air during time slot that is typically reserved for "Jimmy Kimmel Live.""
Now that's poetic.

Indeed, #6. This old man can't stay up that late anymore anyway. Gutfield was smart in scheduling his show earlier and that's part of his success. Plus Gutfield himself, of course....the best since Carson and Leno.

Quite simply, children need to be disciplined. These lib mouthpieces are being slapped down and made examples of for the other children following them. They’ve been unsupervised for far too long.

Until ABC itself uses the "C-word" I'll assume that "pre-empted indefinitely" means "we reserve the right to bring him back as soon as the coast is clear."

Good riddance. Kimmel showed what an absolute jackass he was in the last 20 years since leaving "The Man Show", which I watched a couple of times way back when and found too sophomoric for my taste. I don't know this for a fact, but I thought I read Adam Corolla doesn't have anything to do with Jimmy Kimmel any more. Small wonder.
More of these late night "comedians" need to be given their walking papers since they are hateful buffoons and not even remotely funny. Then again, after Kimmel and Colbert who's left?

Thanks #21 for your insight. I didn't catch that but pre-empted indefinitely is not the same as cancelled. ABC is sneaky, underhanded and downright deceptive. Jimmy Kimmel is just waiting until the storm blows over and ABC takes him back. ABC hasn't changed.

#21 might well be right. ABC will try to find a way to sneak the heartless leftist Kimmell back on air. He's only temporarily gone. And I agree with #8 ... Adam Corrola would be a good hire for any network.

I'm sure there are plenty of conservative comedians who would love to give Kimmel's spot a shot. The problem with the current crop of late-night hosts is that they are one sided, and most, if not all, liberals lack humor. It takes brains to be funny, and if liberals had brains, they wouldn't be liberal.
Woke Delenda Est!

I wish Johnny Carson were still alive. Of course, he would be 100 years old this October, I believe.
Then again, it's my belief Johnny would still outclass all of these current talk show hosts without
breaking a sweat.

Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his faithful ones.... I wonder if Charlie's prayers added to the rest can get the hostages home. rock solid sure he is standing before God asking for them..

Remember this Golden Oldie? Sung to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
:
'Information laundering is really quite ferocious. It’s when a huckster takes some lies and makes them sound precocious. By saying them in Congress or a mainstream outlet, so disinformation’s origins are slightly less atrocious.
It’s how you hide a little, hide a little, little, little lie, it’s how you hide a little, little lie, it’s how you hide a little, little, little lie.
When Rudy Giuliani shared bad intel from Ukraine. Or when TikTok influencers say Covid can’t cause pain. They’re laundering disinfo and we really should take note. And not support their lies with our wallet, voice or vote – oh!
