Trump says Jimmy Kimmel pulled off air due to 'lack of talent'
During a press conference in England, President Donald Trump claimed that TV host Jimmy Kimmel had been "fired" because of his "lack of talent."

The irony of whining over the loss of the failing Jimmy Kimmel show.
Critics cognizant of the great pleasure that Kimmel took in demonizing conservatives and vaccine skeptics and in celebrating their cancellation appear less than sympathetic over his ouster. They certainly aren't buying the line that the liberal host is "some kind of free speech martyr."
Some might recall, for starters, when Kimmel — among the corporate late-night hosts who wept bitterly over Trump's 2024 election victory and long pushed the Russia collusion hoax:
insinuated that the president bore some blame for the alleged attempt on his life in September 2024 as well as for the 2018 Sante Fe High School mass shooting;
suggested that Trump was a Nazi and that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was a "Klan mom" in need of a slap;
gleefully championed the imprisonment of the president;
misrepresented HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s statements about the health consequences of the COVID lockdowns;
called UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's suspected murderer "the hottest cold-blooded killer in America" and shared messages supposedly penned by producers on his show expressing admiration for Luigi Mangione;
celebrated when Alex Jones faced potential ruin, having been ordered to pay $965 million in damages over his suggestion that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax;
smeared Tucker Carlson as a propagandist for the Kremlin, attacked Carlson for advocating against masking children outside, then joked at length about Carlson's exit from Fox News;
made light of the heavy sentences given to Jan. 6 protesters, then later criticized Trump's pardons for the protesters, whom he referred to as "simpletons"; and
condemned NBC for daring to host a Trump town hall event ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Other critics might recall when Kimmel joined Stephen Colbert and other willing Big Pharma propagandists in spending years not only fearmongering but mocking those Americans who expressed concerns about taking the experimental COVID-19 vaccines — vaccines that were neither as safe nor as effective as promised — or resisted the draconian pandemic health protocols.
I came across his show every now and then while channel surfing and would watch a little bit just to see what it was all about. Wasn't funny at all, never once did it get a laugh out of me. Nothing but democrat propaganda is pretty much all it was.

Carson built what seemed to be an eternal empire with the Tonight Show. Leno carried the torch well. Jimmy is at the helm now and its not nearly as good as it was.
If Kimmel had half a fukin brain, he'd have dethroned The Tonight Show after Leno left but he's a fukin lunatic hell bent on a political agenda rather than an entertainment agenda.
Fuk that dude with satans red hot dik!!!

One hundred percent. Jimmy Kimmel was basically Joy Reid. At least Joy Reid looked funny.
Trump was deplatformed off of X and just about every social media. Jimmy Kimmel had no problem with that. No Kimmel broke an FCC rule by deliberately spreading misniformation. And his show had shitty ratings and he lost his job like Colbert did.

Jay Leno was the end of an era in late night talk show hosts.
Prog money is in an uproar, accusing conservatives of pushing Jimmy Kimmel off the air and of hypocritically undermining their own First Amendment principles.
Yet, Kimmel's exit was driven by a fed up network responding to market forces.
I'm crying for Kimmel.
Tears of laughter. :s_laugh:
Jimmy Kimmel and Disney are working toward reaching a compromise that would allow "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to return to ABC.
The veteran host's business and legal representatives are deep in discussions with Disney and ABC leaders in the hopes of finding a path to a compromise that would allow for the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

I heard he is lawyering up. So unless they can prove wrongful termination when ALL of the evidence points to a perfectly sound business decision he wont be back on air.
He's not going to win his lawsuit and they certainly wont be taking him back after being embroiled in a bitter battle with this guy
buh bye, bitch is all I have to say to that clown.
The largest owner of ABC-affiliated television stations backed out of broadcasting a tribute to the life of Charlie Kirk on Friday evening.
The Sinclair Broadcast Group objected to the comments Jimmy Kimmel made on his show about the suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. After seeing the outrage from so many, ABC decided to pull the show indefinitely.
Sinclair had initially said that it would replace Kimmel's late show with a tribute to Kirk on Friday.
But when the time came, Sinclair instead published a link to the tribute on YouTube and offered a statement explaining the decision.
"Tonight, Sinclair will continue to air ABC network programming as scheduled in the late-night time period," read the statement. "The Charlie Kirk special will instead be available on 'The National News Desk's' YouTube channel, ensuring viewers can continue to enjoy ABC programming while also providing full access to the special online."
The hour-long video from "The National News Desk" documented the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, as well as the rise of political violence in America.
Sinclair had said that the tribute would also be offered to ABC stations that Sinclair did not own.
To be honest here. At this point I don't even care if we are infringing on free speech here.
We're doing to them exactly what they've BEEN doing for years now and will continue to do if they regain paper whether we take the high road or not
So might as well enjoy some getback while we can. Fuckem and their tears
I do not care if Disney decides to keep losing money on Jimmy Kimmel's show. They will not do that for very long so even if he does get his job back. He should still keep his resume up to date.
Elon Musk really breaks down Kimmel's firing
Like I said earlier, he's lawyering up but does not stand a chance.

It reminds me of the lesson they should have learned with All in the Family.
All in the Family was meant to be left wing propaganda. But everyone loved Archie and mocked Meathead.
They wanted Archie to be seen as some old fashioned, stuffy, dumb and judgemental character but he was the one loved by Americans.
Its been constantly over estimating the appeal of the left in entertainment.

This isnt any sort of infringement on anyones 1A. No one is prosecuting or killing Kimmel. He just doesnt get to spew his views on network TV anymore. :drunk2:

His ratings tanked. The market has spoken.
If you can stomach it watch Jimmy Kimmel encourage vandalizing random Teslas. If that is not bad enough he says hospitals should refuse treatment of the unvaccinated who show up at hospital ER's having heart attacks.

When you sign an employment contract you agree to abide by company policy. Kimmel violated company policy and was fired for it. Simple enough.

It wasn't poor ratings Oliver?
Liberals are so fucking stupid it baffles the mind how they tie their shoes in the morning and manage to make it out alive without hanging themselves in the process
this is what the 1st amendment has to say
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".
Wherein, the amendment quoted above, is there any provision that mandates a private company must allow an "at will employee" the right to voice publicly opinions and beliefs contrary to their stated policies and/or positions. Especially when such opinions are detrimental to the business model?
The first amendment applies to GOVERNMENT overreach as it pertains to free speech, freedom of religion and the right to assemble
Meaning, the government cannot infringe on said rights with criminal and/or civil penalties. A private organization is bound by no such statue
What libtards are saying here is tantamount to advocating for someone who is in your home to have the right to say whatever they want inside your home, whether you like it or not, and you have absolutely no right to demand they leave.
wtf?
are liberals really this irretrievably stupid?

Yes!!!!
So Jimmy Kimmel is back on air. I cannot wait to go back to not watching him.
Sinclair indicated on Monday that it "will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming."
Nexstar reported on Tuesday morning that it too would be holding its ground.
The company said in a statement, "We made a decision last week to pre-empt 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' following what ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmel's 'ill-timed and insensitive' comments at a critical time in our national discourse. We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve."
"In the meantime, we note that 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' will be available nationwide on multiple Disney-owned streaming products, while our stations will focus on continuing to produce local news and other programming relevant to their respective markets," added the statement.
Sinclair and Nexstar have very big balls. :yeahhh:
While many on the left are tearfully applauding Jimmy Kimmel's return to the low-rated late-night airwaves, Elizabeth Warren is getting mocked and ridiculed for her histrionic response.
Warren suggested that communications companies had kowtowed to the demands of the Trump administration in order to secure government approval for their business deals and called for an investigation into the matter.
Warren accused them of "possible corruption."
"Kimmel is back, but many Americans won't be able to watch," she wrote. "Two companies — Nexstar and Sinclair — control hundreds of local TV stations and have business deals pending Donald Trump's approval. They won't air Kimmel tonight. I'm pressing for answers on potential corruption."
Warren was mocked and ridiculed by many on the right on social media.
"You people are unbelievable. Not only are we supposed to just accept that he has a constitutional right to a multi-million-dollar a year job starring in a bad TV show that no one watches, now TV operators are also obligated to surrender their discretion to air his show, too?" replied Rafael Mangual of the Manhattan Institute.
"Stifle it, you raging harridan. You didn't so much as offer a peep of complaint when the Biden Administration was forcing social media companies to de-platform citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights," responded another detractor.
"Trump never censored Jimmy Kimmel. It was a business decision by Disney and ABC affiliates. Stop lying to the American public like you did about your race," read another response.
Last week, ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel told a big lie on national television. He claimed Charlie Kirk had been assassinated by a conservative MAGA supporter. This wasn't a bad joke — it was a deliberate attempt to cover for left-wing violence and deceive millions of people.
After a campaign pressuring advertisers and affiliates, ABC suspended Kimmel, saying he wouldn't immediately return to the air. Progressives screamed about "cancel culture" and circulated petitions, apparently more concerned about a millionaire losing his low-rated show than about a murdered father.
Then came the threats. Violent warnings poured into ABC affiliates, culminating in a leftist shooting up a station in Sacramento. Shortly afterward, ABC announced that Kimmel would return to the air. The lesson for the left was simple: Violence and terrorism work.
