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.

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.
