Jimmy Kimmel blamed Netflix for the 90th annual Academy Awards getting the lowest television ratings in the show's history.
Kimmel, who attacks President Donald Trump and conservatives regularly on his ABC late-night show, hosted the Oscars for the second straight year, seeing disappointing ratings both times. The 2018 Oscars appear to have suffered a substantial 19 percent ratings drop compared to the show in 2017.
On his Tuesday, Kimmel blamed the streaming service for the Oscars' problems after Trump criticized the awards on Twitter, which the Daily Wire reported.
"Trump loves saying the ratings are down as if to insinuate that's some sort of show of support for him, but the truth is, every year since Netflix happened, the ratings for every big TV show are downSuper Bowl, Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes," Kimmel said. "But Trump thinks he caused the ratings to go down."
Prior to hosting his late night show on ABC, Kimmel co-hosted "The Man Show" on Comedy Central, where women called "juggy girls" wore revealing costumes and in which women jumped on trampolines while the credits rolled. At the time, Kimmel declared the show "a joyous celebration of chauvinism," but he has since used his show as a platform for progressive politics.
Sheesh...this guy rattles easily. What a horrible excuse.
When are they just gonna give credit to the folks that refuse to watch that crap?
Hmmmm... what do these things have in common?
Hollyweird, much of the public just isn’t into you anymore.
You don’t compete well with more interactive entertainment.
Oh, come on, Jimmy! We all KNOW that it was the Russians!
“These people are just never going to get a clue, are they?”
Not if they can help it!
It’s a channel full of offerings not produced by Hollywood.
Including fairly good foreign movies where the parents aren’t idiots, their children don’t have all the answers, and you don’t see anymore homosexuals than in real life.
Jimmy Kimmel hates half the American people AND he expects us to watch his sh*t? Gimme a break Jimmy.
we stream online and I love it when I see when the movie/series is by Netflix. There usually the best out there. IMO
LOL. Just like saying the lack of sales for Papa John’s means that: Libs hate Trump.
Has nuthin’ to do with conservatives being upset with Papa John’s NFL support. In the Lib narrative, it’s all Trump hatred, all the time. Since our boycotts has been successful, they’re trying to turn it into “See what WE are doing!”
Any photoshop experts out there? Please replace Jimmy Kimmel as the author.
Could not be his own smug Trump hating ass because his kids died.....no way right.....I just don’t like the MF.....
The Russians did it on Facebook.
Kimmel: ‘Just wait until next year!’
“Sheesh...this guy rattles easily”
Most libs do...very thin skinned. See Obama, barak, h.
No, Trump doesn’t believe it’s because of him...but he’s just thinking the same thing as every non-liberal - that liberals have poisoned everything, this is why they’re all tanking.
Jimmy is such a coward. I’d love to see him defend “The Man Show” to a bunch of 3rd wave feminists he now aligns with. He sold out to the politically correct crowd. He is a p*ssy PDJT has grabbed and eternally lives inside his head.
As a matter of fact, while the pervert convention known as the Oscars was on, I was watching NetFlix.
What these leftist loons fails to come to grips with is that we the people are rejecting them and it is reflected in our viewing habits.
