Conservatives Pounce: Jimmy Kimmel’s Show Suspended Indefinably

Let’s look at what Kimmel said during his monologue during what is supposed to be a late night mindless comedy/entertainment show

Hilarious stuff, eh? He realized he went too far and tried to apologize (in other words, the suits at ABC made him), but, yeah, he got yanked. Here is the hottest of hottakes I’ve found

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Air ‘Indefinitely’

Conservative cancel culture has come for Jimmy Kimmel: Walt Disney–owned ABC has announced it’s pulling new episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely” following right-wing outrage over comments he made on his September 15 show about the reaction to the killing of right-wing podcaster and provocateur Charlie Kirk. Disney’s decision follows a move by one of its major affiliate groups, Nexstar, to preempt the show in response.

While Nexstar didn’t say exactly what Kimmel had said that it objected to, and ABC offered no further explanation of its move, FCC chairman Brendan Carr earlier on Wednesday denounced this part of the host’s Monday monologue, per Deadline: “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.” Around 6 p.m. ET Wednesday, Nexstar issued this statement: “Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.” When Vulture asked ABC for comment, a network rep replied, “Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be preempted indefinitely.”

See, it’s not the problem that Kimmel made reprehensible remarks on his low rated show, no, it’s that Conservatives noticed it.

Evil Blogger Lady says Jimmy Kimmel is a dirty liar and fraudster. And laughs that he is suspended.

And here’s the thing: Kimmel’s show has a lot lower ratings than Colbert, who had about 2.4 million a night. Kimmel was getting around 1.77 million (Carson got around 9-11 million a night.) I wonder if we are going to soon hear about how much Kimmel’s show costs, and that the plug is being pulled.
