Cancelled 2 days ago. I see Sinclair backed down & played a game show rather than a Charlie Kirk special. They started a battle neither will “win”. It’s time to cancel these huge conglomerates making billionaires anyway!
Jimmy should not apologize. He should not donate to Kirk’s organization. He did nothing wrong. He and everyone has a right to not agree with Kirk or whomever they don’t want to agree with. That is free speech. Besides, this really is not so much about the Kirk comments, this is about Trump targeting Kimmel before the Kirk comments. Those comments were simply an excuse for Trump’s henchman Carr to move against Kimmel. Trump himself didn’t give much thought to Kirk, he was more interested in telling the media about his new ballroom. Trump wants to get rid of any business and anyone who does not flatter him, shower him with compliments. Trump recently called Biden an SOB in a speech. That was wrong. Fox news called for homeless people to be euthanized. Carr should have taken away Fox News license for that. But no, the Trump and Carr standard they want are only for those that Trump does not like.
Telling a deliberate lie is not appropriate. Some people may believe what he said. I believe he should apologize for stating something that was proven a lie. He knew it was a lie when he said it. Hatred is not comedy.
That’s right! Keep listening to MSLSD, CNN (the communist news network) CBS also called (the communist boring station) NBC (narcissist bias station), their sister station CNBC (communist narcissist bias station) and I could go on but you get the idea! LOL
Trump had nothing to do with Kimmels cancellation. He sucks and his rating suck even more. He was also spreading misinformation that has been proven to not be true.
That’s right! You tell ’em! He only managed to insult 2/3 the US population, get fired in the process, then divide the Country even more! Spoken like a true marxist! Fat boy in N Korea would be so proud of you! LOL
Jimmy Kimmel has been losing viewership for years. Late night talk shows are dying because people are not watching. Jimmy has purposefully determined to alienate tens of millions of people. There are job consequences to employee actions.
I say…..GOOD RIDDANCE! Kimmel wasn’t funny at all. His shows were always political for the left, never neutral! Ever since Johnny Carson and Jay Leno left the show, late night talk shows have been disasters because of their one-sided views! Carson, Leno, and Letterman were entertaining shows no matter what side of the aisle you were, Left or Right!
You are aware that Kimmel’s show was NOT a news broadcast, right? He had ZERO requirement to be neutral. None whatsoever. It was a comedy and interview show and never pretended to be anything else.
Humor is subjective. He *wasn’t* funny to you and millions of others. He *was* funny to me and millions of others.
The beauty of late night shows is that you have the CHOICE to turn it off if you don’t like it!! This administration is determined to censor our right (and YOURS!!) of freedom of speech.
Never liked Kimmel so I didn’t watch. I saw enough to know he has been heavily involved in the exact division he claims everyone else supposedly guilty of, so rules for thee but not for me?
The broadcasting company has the right to say no more. That’s their right, their brand, their decision. He can create his own or be picked up by another media outlet.
There is indeed a line that cannot be crossed with free speech according to the Constitution. There is also a difference between truth and propaganda. If he did or didn’t cross the line should be based on and decided by Constitutional Law, not by hyper emotional biased people basing everything on feelings.
I, personally, believe the nation is exhausted from the “entertainment” community leaving “entertainment” behind and spreading propaganda and agendas instead. If you want to be a commentator instead, then fine, but don’t claim to be entertainment. It’s not entertaining and it’s not even in the realm of honesty or decency and definitely divisive.
America doesn’t need more destructive elements. Either step up with integrity or face the consequences.
Disney would benefit the greatest if the wholesome, family driven entertainment was their standard and leave whatever other “customized” personal lifestyle choices to the people/families/companies that adopt that lifestyle branding for themselves. They’re too huge to make EVERYONE happy, but it would surely be the formula for their largest customer base IMO.
I agree about the entertainment industry. Everything now seems to be about division. I just want entertainment without politics. I’m so tired of it all. No matter what is posted anywhere, someone will bring politics into it.
Any idiot that believes that this is about free speech is just that, an idiot. Freedom of speech does not entitle you to keep a job if you do or say something that company doesn’t like. I know that the typical liberal mind only retains information for a short period, or until they choose not to remember anymore, but I would remind you of Rosanne Barr. She was cancelled by Disney for comments she made (and her comments weren’t even on air during the show that company was paying her to be in). Her comments weren’t even on Twitter and she was cancelled. Disney had the right to do that then, according to the left, but now they don’t have the right to do so? Get off your high horse already.
According to insider reports ABC execs didn’t think he said anything wrong. Their fear was the loss of licensing threatened by a duly authorized agent of the government (Carr). ABC and Disney making the decision was a direct result of government threats. If that’s not censorship, I don’t know what is.
No, it is about free speech. Jimmy didn’t lie. He didn’t say anything wrong., Rosanne Barr, on the other hand, likened a black woman to the “Planet of the Apes”. That’s racist, and she deserved to be cancelled for it. The only people still defening her, either don’t remember why she was cancelled, or are racist, themselves.
There’s a HUGE difference between a company taking someone off the air because THEY chose to and a company taking someone off the air because the government threatened them! And that is EXACTLY what happened! tRump had his lil cronie at the FCC threaten them if they didn’t “do something about Kimmel” and they bowed to his demands. I know that the typical right-wing mind only understands the dribble spouted by fox “news” but the rest of the world saw this for exactly what it was: government intimidation to limit free speech. You guys have cried your eyes out for years now about “cancel culture” but y’all are just as quick to try to cancel anything that you don’t agree with- Kimmel, Budweiser, Starbucks and so on. So come down off your high horse, hypocrites!!
I’ve cancelled my Disney subscription over the controversy. It makes sense Disney’s stock is declining. Disney should reinstate Jimmy immediately. Jimmy should absolutely NOT apologize. Trump is butthurt because he cares more about his ballroom than Kirk and it became apparent in the clip Jimmy showed. THAT is why this is happening. I am in shock this is happening to our country. This doesn’t feel like America anymore : (
He was ony getting 129,000 viewers in the key demographic. Sinclair and Nexstar had had enough. They could give the show away to advertisers. It was dead and this was a good excuse to get rid of him. As for the free speech comments, he was not silenced. YouTube and other outlets let everyone speak.
If you want to call me a radical Leftist so be it. I believe in Freedom of Speech and Kimmel should not have been fired. The guy is a comedian for God’s sake. But the fascist want to bend the knee to king daddy. Whatever go ahead and let the authoritarian take over our democracy. But I will fight got the good ole USA because I remember a time when conservatives had reasonable ideas and thoughts. A time when Dems and Republicans could sit down at dinner and have a conversation. So yeah I canceled Disney plus and Hulu and that reminds me they own HBO too. Jimmie will bounce back stronger than ever somewhere else where he is valued
First of all you don’t know what a real fascist is. Did you ever live in Spain in the 1930’s? My father did. You liberals have lived sheltered protected lives in the greatest country on Earth! If you love the (left = communism) so much, why do you still live in the USA? Why not move to N. Korea? And calling that stooge JK a comedian is an insult to all comedians!
I canceled my account, back when they fired Gina Carano and never looked back.
It cracks me up when the liberal activists rise up because someone was fired for something they said, but have been the ones pushing for other people to be fired for words they said… so, I could care less about an unfunny hack that was losing the company millions a year being let go. Disney/ABC finally had a morality clause loophole to fire him before his contract expired so they did. It was more about saving money than what he said.
Broadcasters have an obligation to broadcast material that meets certain established standards. Companies like Sinclair own many stations that need to all be in compliance. Those stations are from various networks, not just ABC.
It amazes me that liberals had no problem backing up George Floyd when he was killed by police, yet they can’t support Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated. Insteas, they spew vile comments constantly and then try to claim freedom of speech. Well even with freedom of speech I can’t say on here, or anywhere, what I would like to do with most Democrat “leaders” due to other laws that make it illegal to say.
Public figures like Jimmy Kimmel need to maintain some decency in what they are saying. They need to show some respect for the dead. They need to remain fair and objective. Charlie was open to debating the issues with those that saw it differently. If we were all on the same side, there wouldn’t be anything to discuss. A lot of you bash FOX News, but shows like The Five always have at least one person on the panel representing the Democrats and they promote that fact in a positive way as the more conservative panelists debate the issues with them.
It seems that Jimmy Kimmel has a lot to learn if he wants to see his show return. Even if it does go back into production, broadcasters have to agree to broadcast the show and not block it.
No one deserves to be murdered. Your example doesn’t add up. The person who murdered GF was an authority figure (police) and the person who murdered CK was a guy off the street with no authority or duty to protect.
I have a couple of Disney vacations coming up and maybe I’ll book a few more and subscribe to Disney+ just because so many people are bent out of shape. I do believe Kimmel should apologize but I don’t think he should be forced to donate money to anybody. I, personally, never found him funny so I don’t watch his show. It’s been a long time since late night talk shows were any good and either made fun of both sides, or neither.
Who should he apologize to? He didn’t say anything about CK, what he said was about republicans, not CK. He doesn’t owe anyone an apology and certainly not a “donation” to anything not of his choosing.
Disney and ABC were in a no-win scenario with Kimmel. After Kimmel said he was going to double down against MAGA on Wednesday, as his version of clearing things up, Disney and ABC had to act. Kimmel was only going to inflame the situation. As for me and my house, Disney had to do something with Kimmel because we were ready to cancel everything if they didn’t deal with him.
Well… the saga continues! Well 1st off A.B.C. and Disney both need their you know what’s kicked!Not because I believe one side is right and one side is wrong. It’s because this has now moved into the very unprofessional territory. You fire a employee ( Kimmel) For what you say was a inflamatory poor judgement joke! Then when you lose some money( the root of all evil) you decide humm well maybe we were a little hasty, perhaps we should not have fired him… humm let’s renegotiate ask him to apologize then put the show back on… oh yeah and donate to a racist sexist group! Are you kidding me? ABC amd Disney are wrong! That’s crazy talk.
I applaud Disney for canceling Kimmel over his outrageous statements. This platform should not be a space for arrogant hosts to spread their personal venom in the media. They represent Disney in their broadcasts and must adhere to a higher standard of decorum. Political satire is one thing, but open hostility and lies are completely inappropriate. He should never return without making a heartfelt apology and a sizable donation to the Kirk fund! I am keeping my Disney+ account and will continue to renew it as long as Disney maintains its honorable standards in broadcasting.
Guess the majority of Disney+ users are murderous leftists. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Kimmel will not be missed by people who actually have hearts.
Leftists can keep right on staying mad and cry cry cry about free speech til the cows come home. We do not care. Kudos to Disney for doing something ethical for a change.
Disney…Take your Loses, like you did when you went down the DEI Rabbit Hole…It time to Change Directions and get back on the True Disney Path of Entertainment….There are a Lot of Better Talk Show Hosts then Kimmel …Rebuilt from the Ground Up…
You’ve actually quoted a parody account.
I also don’t quite recall the same level of blood vessel exploding over a “fascist dictatorship” when Roseanne Barr explained what a woman is. 🤔
Disney took a look at all the cancelled subscribers and cancelled vacations and, in just a few days, woke up. Today, they announced that Jimmy Kimmel will be back on the air tomorrow night. A victory for free speech and for Americans who believe in the Constitution.
And Kimmel didn’t have to apologize to get justice. He’d done nothing requiring an apology. FCC’s Carr is the one who should appologize for his own violation of the Constitution.
Ironically, if Charlie Kirk was still alive, he’d have been the first to call both Carr and Trump on the carpet for governmental interference with free speech.
Kimmel should NOT apologize, nor donate to CK. Kirk got what he supported. We will not be resubscribing to Disney and Hulu: there’s only one shot at this and they lost. Buh-bye.
If Carr wanted to cancel anything Id support Urban Radio. My culture is drowning and suffering from the hypnosis of brutal over sexualized music playing over public radio. I enjoy my hip hop and rap but at 8am should any radio station be spinning “Get it back in blood” or “F- my baby daddy. There are tons of artist whose music pumps the 808 but have lyrics that inspire and grow people. If I wanna listen to raunchy music I’ll pay for a satellite channel but public airways that perpetuate violence and irresponsible sexually behavior at hours young minds are on their way to school is ridiculous. I have to tune in to the “white” stations to hear love songs…not smex songs. All in all its free speech butnthe consequence to society is wide spread .
I’ll agree Jimmy needs to agree to ABC’s terms .. IF ..
You apply the same logic to that Orange Orangutan. 30,000+ documented lies and growing! If he took 15 seconds to apologize for each one in an 8 hour/5 day work week, it would take that liar 3 1/2 weeks to complete. And if we added a “meaningful” donation to all the injured, he’d owe $1,500,000,000.
My guess is not one comment here has been written by anybody over 15. Kimmel is a jacka_s! He shouldn’t be one the air because he su_ks! He’s a leftist piece of trash and he’s as funny as a hot steamy pile of dog s_it! Which aptly describes him! He blatantly lied about Charlie Kirk’s murderer and there’s nothing about what he said that’s funny or free speech! It’s called liable in a court of law and I hope the turning point organization sues him for every dime he’s ever made! Go woke and go broke Disney!!! I just canceled every streaming connection I had with you because you brought this piece of sh_t back! I encourage everyone else to do the same until Kimmel is just a distant memory!!!
Here are the answers to your questions:
1) Have you cancelled your Disney+ subscription in the wake of the Jimmy Kimmel Live! controversy?
No, I cancelled everything Disney in 2021. I couldn’t take them anymore.
2) Do you think it makes sense that Disney’s stock is continuing to decline?
Absolutely! The wages of WOKE is BROKE!
3) How do you think Disney should handle the situation?
The entire board of directors as well as Iger should resign immediately in disgust! Walt Disney “the man” must be spinning in his cryogenic chamber.
4) Do you think Mr. Kimmel should apologize before being allowed back on air?
No, he should continue to mock the right like he always has and force his agenda mindset onto his viewers. All three of them. It’s what they enjoy hearing, right? Disney should by OK with losing even more money!
5) Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
I did. Let’s see if they make it this time.
Disney stock has dropped due to investor concern about a slowing economy and reduced consumer spending, impacting theme park demand and advertising revenue. Additionally, the company faces challenges in its streaming segment with slow growth, struggles in its traditional linear TV business, and a difficult period for its film studio. A recent revenue miss and a less-than-impressive future outlook have also contributed to the stock’s
I’m canceling Hulu becuase the price is going up as I am told Disney plus is – just got my notice. Wonder how many others are doing it for the same reason. NOW?!?!?!? Is it time for Iger to go?
It’s all such BS – where were you all when Trump’s first amendment was taken away??? Since when can’t a president of the USA get air time on any station he/she wants whenever they want? Trump couldn’t – put him in jail for 700 years – it’s hypocrisy at its best! Respect the damn office.
Most of these people wouldn’t have jobs period if they didn’t have Trump to bitch about.
Yes we canceled but – because Direct TV is now giving it Free to long time subscribers. So yes cancelled but renewed through Direct Tv . That said – Disney should cancel Kimmel , the late night format is sooooo boring and out dated – give us something new. So Tired of politics being source of what are not funny attempts at humor- doesn’t work anymore.
PS – the View should be revamped also
…am I the ONLY ONE HERE who knows about
Kimmels SUBTERRANEAN ratings???
There are a TON of youtube influencers with larger audiences than Jimmies-so cry me a river because NONE of you of the “outrage mob” were watching him beforehand and probably STILL don’t!!!
Cry me a river gang, but the “leftist fatigue” is real!
How foolish to cancel Disney subscription, especially if you have kids. Why should they be deprived??? Now, are you going to resubscribe? This is nonsense.
If Kimmel would just stop running off at the mouth trying to be funny (and I admit, ‘sometimes’ he is) things like this would never come to pass. Why even make a remark (other than giving your sincere condolences) about a young man who lost his life much, much too soon. I put it all on Kimmel.
Stocks tumbled? Disney stocks were tumbled long before. Nothing to do with Jimmy. Disney should wise up. Any temporary losses (c’mon man who watches this anyway) could have been made up by us conservatives if we have faith in the company again. Disney stocks would have shot up. I thought Disney may have been on the right track getting rid of Jimmy. Guess the leftists have chimed in. Losing one of their propaganda sources. Was hoping Disney was going back to their family-oriented ways. Probably subscribe to all their programming. I may be able to go to a “children’s” movie with my family and not have to worry about some LBBGGTTQQ or whatever all of a sudden being thrown in. Gender dysphoria needs to be treated by a psychiatrist and not condoned or treated by medical or surgical castration. How sick is the term transgender children? How many people actually watch late night? Most if not all of us conservatives have jobs to go to in the morning. Jimmy spewed angry, non-entertaining leftist propaganda. Even a sponsor would think twice about paying for that kind of exposure. Jimmy was on his way out anyway. The show is a money pit trying to be kept relevant by leftists. Look up the word fascist when you get a chance. Don’t cherry pick what is and is not allowed. Look up socialist and what the new leftist golden boy running for the mayor of New York is all about. Stop regurgitating what others say and educate yourself. Charlie Kirk always explained his views with reasoning and statistics. He always welcomed other views and treated people with respect. He was murdered in front of his family. Trying to tell a joke around the circumstances of someone’s assassination is seriously wrong. Maybe Jimmy needs some help. Turning Point USA will continue on and honor Charlies life’s work. Be a part of it, donate, even a little from all of us will go a long way in fixing the mess that was created the previous four years. Wise up parents. Democrats get back in control the schools will be overrun with gender ideology.

A lot of you bash FOX News, but shows like The Five always have at least one person on the panel representing the Democrats and they promote that fact in a positive way as the more conservative panelists debate the issues with them.
It seems that Jimmy Kimmel has a lot to learn if he wants to see his show return. Even if it does go back into production, broadcasters have to agree to broadcast the show and not block it.

No one deserves to be murdered. Your example doesn’t add up. The person who murdered GF was an authority figure (police) and the person who murdered CK was a guy off the street with no authority or duty to protect.

I have a couple of Disney vacations coming up and maybe I’ll book a few more and subscribe to Disney+ just because so many people are bent out of shape. I do believe Kimmel should apologize but I don’t think he should be forced to donate money to anybody. I, personally, never found him funny so I don’t watch his show. It’s been a long time since late night talk shows were any good and either made fun of both sides, or neither.

Who should he apologize to? He didn’t say anything about CK, what he said was about republicans, not CK. He doesn’t owe anyone an apology and certainly not a “donation” to anything not of his choosing.
Ed
He should apologize to Iger for ever hiring him in the first place!

Disney and ABC were in a no-win scenario with Kimmel. After Kimmel said he was going to double down against MAGA on Wednesday, as his version of clearing things up, Disney and ABC had to act. Kimmel was only going to inflame the situation. As for me and my house, Disney had to do something with Kimmel because we were ready to cancel everything if they didn’t deal with him.

Well… the saga continues! Well 1st off A.B.C. and Disney both need their you know what’s kicked!Not because I believe one side is right and one side is wrong. It’s because this has now moved into the very unprofessional territory. You fire a employee ( Kimmel) For what you say was a inflamatory poor judgement joke! Then when you lose some money( the root of all evil) you decide humm well maybe we were a little hasty, perhaps we should not have fired him… humm let’s renegotiate ask him to apologize then put the show back on… oh yeah and donate to a racist sexist group! Are you kidding me? ABC amd Disney are wrong! That’s crazy talk.

Crazy talk only comes from the mouth of hateful leftists who enjoy murder.

I applaud Disney for canceling Kimmel over his outrageous statements. This platform should not be a space for arrogant hosts to spread their personal venom in the media. They represent Disney in their broadcasts and must adhere to a higher standard of decorum. Political satire is one thing, but open hostility and lies are completely inappropriate. He should never return without making a heartfelt apology and a sizable donation to the Kirk fund! I am keeping my Disney+ account and will continue to renew it as long as Disney maintains its honorable standards in broadcasting.
JJ
Good for you Pat! Thing is if Kimmel apologized it would not be sincere.
JJ
Guess the majority of Disney+ users are murderous leftists. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Kimmel will not be missed by people who actually have hearts.
ILuvLucy
Leftists can keep right on staying mad and cry cry cry about free speech til the cows come home. We do not care. Kudos to Disney for doing something ethical for a change.

Disney…Take your Loses, like you did when you went down the DEI Rabbit Hole…It time to Change Directions and get back on the True Disney Path of Entertainment….There are a Lot of Better Talk Show Hosts then Kimmel …Rebuilt from the Ground Up…

You’ve actually quoted a parody account.
I also don’t quite recall the same level of blood vessel exploding over a “fascist dictatorship” when Roseanne Barr explained what a woman is. 🤔

Disney took a look at all the cancelled subscribers and cancelled vacations and, in just a few days, woke up. Today, they announced that Jimmy Kimmel will be back on the air tomorrow night. A victory for free speech and for Americans who believe in the Constitution.
And Kimmel didn’t have to apologize to get justice. He’d done nothing requiring an apology. FCC’s Carr is the one who should appologize for his own violation of the Constitution.
Ironically, if Charlie Kirk was still alive, he’d have been the first to call both Carr and Trump on the carpet for governmental interference with free speech.
Ed
I just LOVE the way these Liberals wrap themselves around the Constitution! Do you also wrap yourself around the second Amendment too?
Brad
Kimmel should NOT apologize, nor donate to CK. Kirk got what he supported. We will not be resubscribing to Disney and Hulu: there’s only one shot at this and they lost. Buh-bye.
Big Deal
And you’ll get what you support someday to. Death. And we’ll be sure to laugh.

If Carr wanted to cancel anything Id support Urban Radio. My culture is drowning and suffering from the hypnosis of brutal over sexualized music playing over public radio. I enjoy my hip hop and rap but at 8am should any radio station be spinning “Get it back in blood” or “F- my baby daddy. There are tons of artist whose music pumps the 808 but have lyrics that inspire and grow people. If I wanna listen to raunchy music I’ll pay for a satellite channel but public airways that perpetuate violence and irresponsible sexually behavior at hours young minds are on their way to school is ridiculous. I have to tune in to the “white” stations to hear love songs…not smex songs. All in all its free speech butnthe consequence to society is wide spread .
Dan
I’ll agree Jimmy needs to agree to ABC’s terms .. IF ..
You apply the same logic to that Orange Orangutan. 30,000+ documented lies and growing! If he took 15 seconds to apologize for each one in an 8 hour/5 day work week, it would take that liar 3 1/2 weeks to complete. And if we added a “meaningful” donation to all the injured, he’d owe $1,500,000,000.

My guess is not one comment here has been written by anybody over 15. Kimmel is a jacka_s! He shouldn’t be one the air because he su_ks! He’s a leftist piece of trash and he’s as funny as a hot steamy pile of dog s_it! Which aptly describes him! He blatantly lied about Charlie Kirk’s murderer and there’s nothing about what he said that’s funny or free speech! It’s called liable in a court of law and I hope the turning point organization sues him for every dime he’s ever made! Go woke and go broke Disney!!! I just canceled every streaming connection I had with you because you brought this piece of sh_t back! I encourage everyone else to do the same until Kimmel is just a distant memory!!!
Ed
Here are the answers to your questions:
1) Have you cancelled your Disney+ subscription in the wake of the Jimmy Kimmel Live! controversy?
No, I cancelled everything Disney in 2021. I couldn’t take them anymore.
2) Do you think it makes sense that Disney’s stock is continuing to decline?
Absolutely! The wages of WOKE is BROKE!
3) How do you think Disney should handle the situation?
The entire board of directors as well as Iger should resign immediately in disgust! Walt Disney “the man” must be spinning in his cryogenic chamber.
4) Do you think Mr. Kimmel should apologize before being allowed back on air?
No, he should continue to mock the right like he always has and force his agenda mindset onto his viewers. All three of them. It’s what they enjoy hearing, right? Disney should by OK with losing even more money!
5) Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
I did. Let’s see if they make it this time.

Disney stock has dropped due to investor concern about a slowing economy and reduced consumer spending, impacting theme park demand and advertising revenue. Additionally, the company faces challenges in its streaming segment with slow growth, struggles in its traditional linear TV business, and a difficult period for its film studio. A recent revenue miss and a less-than-impressive future outlook have also contributed to the stock’s

I’m canceling Hulu becuase the price is going up as I am told Disney plus is – just got my notice. Wonder how many others are doing it for the same reason. NOW?!?!?!? Is it time for Iger to go?

It’s all such BS – where were you all when Trump’s first amendment was taken away??? Since when can’t a president of the USA get air time on any station he/she wants whenever they want? Trump couldn’t – put him in jail for 700 years – it’s hypocrisy at its best! Respect the damn office.
Most of these people wouldn’t have jobs period if they didn’t have Trump to bitch about.
John
Yes we canceled but – because Direct TV is now giving it Free to long time subscribers. So yes cancelled but renewed through Direct Tv . That said – Disney should cancel Kimmel , the late night format is sooooo boring and out dated – give us something new. So Tired of politics being source of what are not funny attempts at humor- doesn’t work anymore.
PS – the View should be revamped also
Speedrcer
…am I the ONLY ONE HERE who knows about
Kimmels SUBTERRANEAN ratings???
There are a TON of youtube influencers with larger audiences than Jimmies-so cry me a river because NONE of you of the “outrage mob” were watching him beforehand and probably STILL don’t!!!
Cry me a river gang, but the “leftist fatigue” is real!
Karen F
I cancelled as Hulu sent a rate increase to $89 to cover the upswing in cancellations.
Yea together we stand divided we fall.
Jeannie
How foolish to cancel Disney subscription, especially if you have kids. Why should they be deprived??? Now, are you going to resubscribe? This is nonsense.
If Kimmel would just stop running off at the mouth trying to be funny (and I admit, ‘sometimes’ he is) things like this would never come to pass. Why even make a remark (other than giving your sincere condolences) about a young man who lost his life much, much too soon. I put it all on Kimmel.

Stocks tumbled? Disney stocks were tumbled long before. Nothing to do with Jimmy. Disney should wise up. Any temporary losses (c’mon man who watches this anyway) could have been made up by us conservatives if we have faith in the company again. Disney stocks would have shot up. I thought Disney may have been on the right track getting rid of Jimmy. Guess the leftists have chimed in. Losing one of their propaganda sources. Was hoping Disney was going back to their family-oriented ways. Probably subscribe to all their programming. I may be able to go to a “children’s” movie with my family and not have to worry about some LBBGGTTQQ or whatever all of a sudden being thrown in. Gender dysphoria needs to be treated by a psychiatrist and not condoned or treated by medical or surgical castration. How sick is the term transgender children? How many people actually watch late night? Most if not all of us conservatives have jobs to go to in the morning. Jimmy spewed angry, non-entertaining leftist propaganda. Even a sponsor would think twice about paying for that kind of exposure. Jimmy was on his way out anyway. The show is a money pit trying to be kept relevant by leftists. Look up the word fascist when you get a chance. Don’t cherry pick what is and is not allowed. Look up socialist and what the new leftist golden boy running for the mayor of New York is all about. Stop regurgitating what others say and educate yourself. Charlie Kirk always explained his views with reasoning and statistics. He always welcomed other views and treated people with respect. He was murdered in front of his family. Trying to tell a joke around the circumstances of someone’s assassination is seriously wrong. Maybe Jimmy needs some help. Turning Point USA will continue on and honor Charlies life’s work. Be a part of it, donate, even a little from all of us will go a long way in fixing the mess that was created the previous four years. Wise up parents. Democrats get back in control the schools will be overrun with gender ideology.
