 In Q2 of 2025, an average of 2.42 million Americans tuned into Colbert's show, followed by Kimmel's program pulling in 1.77 million. Not bad. So when Trump says they are poorly performing, low-rated, one has to ask what does he know about anything?

He'll get a big bump now...

Is this supposed to be some lame "gotcha"? I used "appears" and "seems" intentionally because that's what will matter for the midterms. 

 

We all know that Biden had the strongest economy and the safest streets in the history of the world, and he lost because of all the stupid people. 

 

We also know that Trump had the worst economy and the most dangerous streets in the history of the world in his first term, and he won because of all the stupid people. 

 

Not everyone is smart enough to believe Trump is Hitler, that half the country are fascists, and that Charlie Kirk was the devil incarnate. 

 

 

 

We all know that Biden is (and for most of his term was) a doddering and mostly incompetent old nincompoop, so why is his presidency still renting so much space in the MAGAnista's wee heads? How on earth can such a shamelessly woeful administration be used as any sort of yardstick to measure of the current president's stature, let alone the depth of stupidity of a nation's electorate?

The bump will be temporary. However, one third of ABC affiliates are considering preempting Kimmel's show. Once his contract expires, he will be done.

When Biden was in office the message sold to public claimed he was the best Biden ever.

Oh yeah, he was the greatest ever, right up until the debate.

Dead cat bounce maybe?

 

Yes, I am not a fan of his humor, but it's a tad better than Trump's. I like some of the comedic voices with Gutfeld on Fox. Not all of them, just some of them (and not Gutfeld's either).

FBI arrests man accused of shooting at local Sacramento ABC news station

 

The shooting came one day after protesters gathered at the station in response to ABC pulling comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show off air “indefinitely” over comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, according to KXTV.

Looks like woke clown Keith Olbermann has done a Jimmy, hold my beer routine. When is this mass mental illness going to be addressed? They lost the election, all their hoaxes were exposed, so what fo they do? Urge fellow sufferers to kill conservatives. So much for "lowering the temperature"😅

I'd rather see somebody do something like "Best of Youtube" or similar for 30 minutes than what goes on now. Wouldn't need a studio, could trim back the number of writers, and introduce it with a 21st century version of Elvira. I'd watch that.

 

Check out, your daily dose of internet on YT

Nexstar said that it will continue to preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live!, meaning that the late-night host’s return on Tuesday night won’t have carriage in nearly a quarter of ABC‘s affiliate reach.

In a statement, Nexstar said, “We made a decision last week to preempt 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.”

Sinclair Broadcast Group, which holds the largest number of ABC affiliates, announced on Monday that it would not broadcast Kimmel’s show. 

Later last week, Nexstar issued a statement saying, “The decision to preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! was made unilaterally by the senior executive team at Nexstar, and they had no communication with the FCC or any government agency prior to making that decision.”

More important than the whole fascist / free speech / MAGA debate.........when did Americans decide "pre-empt" meant taking something off the telly?

Was a pre-emptive strike on Iraq taking them off the TV?

But wait.  If Trump is a fascist and ordered Kimmel off the air how was this reversed?  Could it be it was always about Disney and ABC and nothing to do with Trump?  Say it ain't so Joe.

Sooooo was this a stunt to create political turmoil and bump up ratings? He obviously knew that what he was saying was a blantant lie on public airwaves. BTW in three years there wasn't one non-liberal on his show. Is this bias and lack of balance in the public interest? 

Bingo.  Howard Steern did the same. 

IMO the 'deal' will include Kimmel agreeing to resign/retire if the show fails to make a profit by XYZ date.

You are correct that this can define fascism. You are completely incorrect to call America a facist state with Trump being the dictator. Thankyou for demonstrating your lack of knowlege in political theory. It's one thing to Google then cut and paste it's another thing to understand what your pasting.

Is that it? That’s your response? So  the Banana  Republic of Trumpistan is in no way fascist despite going woke over hurty words that offend your beloved leader? The fact that a sycophantic SC rubber stamps every EO that bypasses congress and any due process can’t be called fascist, ok got that , thanks for the enlightenment.

"Jimmy Kimmel's comeback to late night has been dealt a massive blow with ABC affiliates refusing to air it in nearly 40 major markets after Disney announced the liberal talk host will return Tuesday.

Sinclair Inc., whose local stations pay to run ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, is standing by its policy from last week that it would keep the show off the air indefinitely, though the two sides were in talks. "

 

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/media/article-15124189/Jimmy-Kimmel-comeback-derailed-major-blow.html

Sinclair  also called on Kimmel to issue a 'direct apology to the Kirk family' and to make a 'meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA [a conservative college campus group founded by Kirk].' according to the source.

 

Another words, Jimmy told a big lie ,Sinclair desires Kimbal to show his remorse by a apology and a meaningful donation to TPUSA & the Kirks. 

 

 

Good Luck, I do not know of anyone who watches Jimmy Kimmel, I believe he has lost more fans due to his comments which really are "NOT FUNNY!"

Gonna be a good one tonight.......go get him Jimmy!!!!

He has nothing to apologize for and Turning Point is a right wing political action group and Erika is already filthy rich so it's obscene to force someone to donate to any such group. 

Yahoo for Jimmy, Boo for the Donald.

The Parable of Snow White and the Black Hole

Once upon a time, in Germany, Snow White was told she must die. The words carried weight — Schadenfreude — the dark pleasure of watching innocence crumble.

 

Far away in Korea, the story was retold. There, her death tasted 고소하다 — savory, like roasted sesame. Not heavy, but strangely satisfying, like justice with a hint of flavor.

 

Then in America, Snow White put on makeup and glitter and walked onto a late-night stage. She laughed, the audience laughed, and for a moment she lived again, only now as parody. But the joke lasted no longer than a commercial break.

 

At the center of it all stood a black hole called Television. It pulled giants, fairy tales, and even Snow White into its orbit, shrinking them until they were nothing more than echoes. Disney owned the castle, but it forgot to keep sponsoring the mirror that reflected its truth. And so Snow White slipped away.

 

Now she drifts in the digital void where “broadcast” no longer means all together but only a scream — “ALL!” — hurled into the dark, waiting for someone to answer.

 

And if you listen closely, you can still hear it: a fairy tale dissolving into static, asking: “Hey… are you still there?”

 

tell all...
