And fuck you very much, ASSHOLE. You EARNED IT!

ABC on Wednesday night said it was pulling the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” late-night show off the air “indefinitely” after controversial comments by its host about the slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesman told NBC News. ABC is a subsidiary of Disney

The statement came shortly after Nexstar Media Group said its company-owned and “partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show.”

“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,” Nextstar said.

Andrew Alford, the president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, said, “Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located.”

“Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue,” Alford said.

Good riddance!

Glad to see the people in charge of the media companies are starting to understand.

Good! Every damn person who celebrates his murder whether a celebrity or an average Joe on any platform should be reported to their employer and fired.

I have seen many post on Nextdoor celebrating his death and at the time I didn’t think to find them on LinkedIn and notify their employer, but now I can’t find their posts to do it.

I haven't watched his show in quite some time but I watched a few YouTube clips of that ass wipes comments. This couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I hope he rots in hell.

They eat their own don’t they.

Like SNL, He hasn’t been funny in decades since “The man show” days. I honestly have not watched network late night TV show in years. Except gutfeld. Watch that most nights big he’s cancel and on Fox you know what your getting.

Never thought Colbert was funny. Kimmel meh. Craig Ferguson was good. Fallon has good writers so his one liners are better but I think he listened to Jay and Johnny the most and steers clear of politics.

It is one thing to satirize politics on an entertainment show. It is another to politicize a show. It is unforgivable to flat-out, and with malice, lie while politicizing a show.

I’m very happy to see that turn-around. The media people know, and fear, President Trump’s wrath.



Serious about crackers.

Not just President Trump. They realize that except for the mopes living on the coasts, there are millions of decent people in this country who don’t agree with the shit that they have been spewing and getting away with.
