And yet another rocket surgeon that will be shielding his eyes when he looks toward the sun. If he ain't smart enough to put a cap on correctly he sure as hell isn't smart enough to listen to.

Who gives a fuck how he wears his hat?

he's a moron

always will be

That doesn't mean that the information he's sharing in that clip is not correct.

While I can't stand his brother, at least Andrew doesn't twist and turn like a weather vane every time the wind changes.

This is not about Chris Cuomo; it's about the information he's privy to as an industry insider.

As tough as it may be, the best course of action is to ignore this low life troll. He wants the attention, that’s all that’s keeping his and the other “late night” shows alive. Their ratings are at essentially all time lows after years of steady declines. But somehow people keep taking the bait and feigning outrage over silly remarks.

Yes, what he said about Melania was trashy, but at the same time it’s playing a dangerous game to have the government (FCC) go after station licenses over this. For one it just makes him seem like a victim and a martyr, but more importantly it crosses a clear line in a country that supposedly places a very high value on free speech. Even when that speech is distasteful and tacky.

Fredo's soundbite thinks he's providing some deep insight/hot-take, yet he leaves out the part that Kimmel was warned about his tactless and non-cleaver comments around assassinations and politically motivated killings. Kimmel can either take the act over to cable/pay-per-view or, wise-up and focus on actual humor. You're right, funny-guys and clowns thrive on attention, and the mantra amongst celebrities has been 'there's no such thing as bad publicity', in Kimmel's case its time ABC pulls the curtain. He may not be everyone's taste in humor but, allowing gasoline to spread about while a fire is going on benefits nobody.

The Joke is not a stand-alone thing, Chris, particularly with it's proximity to the WHCD. And not with the documented history of leftist calls for violence. Get off your high horse, asswipe.

Cuomo makes a good point, but I don’t recall him coming out against the Biden WH leveraging FB and Twitter to silence conservatives. It is amazing that the only abuse of federal power that offends the Left is when Republicans do it. Same thing for the Right. Just once I would like someone from either side to be consistent with their condemnation of the use of government power to silence opponents.

When the same treatment Kimmel may receive, removal from his job transfers over to the politicians that have made more direct comments about Trump being assassinated or comments that would inspire others to commit the same is when real change and progress will be made. Kimmel is irrelevant to change.

His personal opinion discounted, the insider info Cuomo has sounds like curtains for Kimmel, and hopefully it happens. Of course Cuomo skips the entire nuance of "assassination" in Kimmel's so-called jokes about Trump, which is entirely unacceptable on public television, which is not private pay to see. And his recent comments are not the first regarding Trump's death.

Any comedian or talk show host that "joked" about Obama's death or veiled references to his assassination would have been shown the door PDQ.

Jim McLaughlin to Newsmax: Kimmel's 'Widow' Joke Showed 'No Shame'

Pollster Jim McLaughlin told Newsmax on Tuesday that media figures like late-night host Jimmy Kimmel "have no shame," pointing to Kimmel's joke about first lady Melania Trump looking like an "expectant widow" as an example of rhetoric he says has gone too far.

Appearing on "Ed Henry The Big Take," McLaughlin said the line was not comedy but a reflection of a media culture willing to target political figures and their families without restraint, even in a tense political climate.

The remark came just days before an alleged assassination attempt unfolded at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, where President Donald Trump and Melania Trump were rushed from the Washington Hilton after a gunman opened fire near a security checkpoint.

Newsmax reported that Trump was not injured, but the situation triggered a rapid evacuation of the president, the first lady, and administration officials as law enforcement moved to secure the scene and detain the suspect.

Authorities later indicated the alleged gunman was believed to be targeting Trump and members of his Cabinet, heightening concerns about ongoing threats and the broader political environment.

Against that backdrop, McLaughlin said Kimmel's comment about Melania struck an especially sour note and could not be dismissed as harmless humor.

"It's not even a joke," he said. "It wasn't funny."

McLaughlin also questioned whether the audience response reflected genuine approval or something manufactured for television.

"I mean, I'm hoping that that was a laugh track that they were using, that real audience members were not laughing at that," he said, suggesting disbelief that such a comment would draw real laughter.

McLaughlin added that the segment went beyond a single line, arguing that the visual presentation made it even more inappropriate.

"Something nobody's really brought up, I think the worst part about it was the picture they showed," he said. "The picture they actually showed was his young son and his wife. ... They've had to deal with this three times now."

By including Trump's family in the segment, McLaughlin said, Kimmel blurred the line between political commentary and personal attack.

He also criticized CNN anchor Jake Tapper for defending Kimmel while warning about inflammatory rhetoric, calling the response selective and inconsistent.

"This is the same guy who told us how sharp and what great mental acuity that [former President] Joe Biden had," McLaughlin said. "Then he wrote a book about how everybody got fooled by it."

Such reversals highlight what he said is a credibility problem in legacy media, particularly when figures attempt to set standards for acceptable discourse.

"But I got to tell you, the hypocrisy knows no bounds with these people," McLaughlin said.

He argued that the controversy could have been quickly resolved if Kimmel had simply acknowledged the backlash and apologized publicly.

"Look, all he had to do was apologize," McLaughlin said. "But these people know no bounds. They have no shame."

Back when late nite was funny. I did not even know Carson's political affiliation. He made fun of everyone, instead of being a shill for either party.

That's outstanding news! Two turds in one wipe.

We should tell Disney we won’t do anything Disney if Kimmel stays. No movies, no TV, no purchasing merchandise, no theme parks, … etc. Betcha dollars speak louder than actors guild.
