Kimmel was an asshole before he was put in the corner, he was an asshole while he was in the corner, and he will be an asshole now he is out of the corner.

Jimmy Kimmel loves a total asshole.

Well, I won't be tuning in for the same reason I don't stick my head in a sewer. I already know what's there.

Hit them in the wallet......notify/boycott advertisers during the show. A significant drop in ad revenue can be very effective.

You can yell 'FIRE' in a movie theater all you want if there is a fire present or not.

Charges can only be brought forth if the actual yelling of the word 'FIRE' can be framed as the inciting of a crime.

Incitement is the encouragement of another person to commit a crime. Depending on the jurisdiction, some or all types of incitement may be illegal.

It is known as an inchoate offense, where harm is intended but may or may not have actually occurred.

I didn't realize that THAT would be the part of my post that everyone would hinge on.

Edited.

So now Jimmy will be burdened by the expectation of being something other than a hack. I'm thinking he'll end up being the first regular ostensible male on "The View" .

This just means he can get canceled again. The next time hopefully permanently.

Kimmel’s reinstatement torpedoes the inference of many on the Left that it was pressure from the Administration that caused Kimmel to be suspended.

^^^ That's very true! It was ABC's/Disney's decision to bring him back.

and to suspend him.

Yes!

Yeah, not happening:

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...

^^^ Do you have a link to that?

My guess is politics is going to be off the menu for awhile.

You’re kidding, right? He’s going to triple down with the stupid BS now.

I really hope this is not related to that football deal that Disney was working, I really hope they didn’t cave on this asshole over Almighty Football

Sinclair said, UM, NOT SO FAST.

Sinclair will preempt Jimmy Kimmel's show despite Disney ending its suspension

Published September 22, 2025 7:57pm EDT

Sinclair Broadcast Group announced Monday that it would preempt ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" when it returns Tuesday night.

"Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return," the company’s statement read.

Sinclair, which operates 30 ABC affiliates, previously joined Nexstar, another owner of ABC affiliates, in preempting Kimmel’s show last week after he made controversial comments regarding Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin.

Yes, among other things Sinclair is demanding a direct apology from Kimmel and a donation to Kirk's family and Turning Point USA, and I just don't see that happening.

I sure hope so. W/ the triple down.

I really don't want the Left to ever learn their lesson. I hope Kimmel quadruples down. He'll be a gift to conservatives.

^^^^ Nah, I do want them to learn their lesson. Then, they would become the Right.
