Jimmy Kimmel Admits Divisive Politics Have Cost Him ‘Commercially’
Breitbart ^ | March 13, 2018 | John Nolte

Posted on 03/13/2018 10:58:44 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Far-left late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who is currently one of the most polarizing and divisive personalities in the country, admitted he has seen polls that show that his partisanship “has cost me commercially.”

“According to polls I’ve seen, it has cost me commercially,” he told Oprah Winfrey in an interview for her O Magazine. “That’s not ideal, but I wouldn’t change anything I said.”

“I know my job is, for the most part, to entertain people and make them laugh. That said, if I can be selfish every once in a while and talk about something serious that’s important to me, then I do want to take that opportunity,” Kimmel added. “But I don’t want to abuse my position. I pick my battles. Ninety percent of the time, I’ll joke around, but some of the jokes, I hope, make people think.”

He is a dirt-bag. I would avoid his advertisers like the plague!

Jimmy decided that being a “comedian” wasn’t enough.

It has “made me think” for sure.
I’ve come to the conclusion he’s another tired lazy hack spewing leftist talking points like the view, SNL, and Morning Joe.

Somebody should tell Mr. Kimmel it's about respect. When these "entertainers" constantly insult us and ridicule us, they aren't funny. They're treating us as inferiors intellectually. Same with the kneelers in the NFL. They don't respect that views different from their own are honestly and thoughtfully arrived at.

And we're supposed to subsidize their livelihood? I don't think so.

He wasn't hired for his Marxist activist acumen, he was supposed to read jokes.

I thought the Jimmy Kimmel late nite show ratings have been up the last year due to all his Trump bashing. Like Steven Colbert but a bit less so. Can someone give me the truth on this? Thanks!

He can hitch a ride on the Hillary Clinton It’s the Ignorant Red Staters’ Fault Tour.

Same here. I have not tuned into any late night show for years. Now David Letterman and Jay Leno...I could tell these guys apart. David Letterman was great back in the 1980s and into some of the 1990s. With great musical guests and others who were interesting and|or funny.

He “made me think” I should never support Hollywood lefties or their advertisers in any way.

“Jay Leno mocked Presidents equally.”

I recall any such “mockings” of the Fraud occurring during Leno’s last year or so, and not being very mocking.

No - it’s basically that you’re an idiot.

Has Adam Carolla commented on what Kimmel has morphed into?

The last time I checked, his ratings had dropped off a little bit.

May he be fired as because he has become a loss leader for SJW versus a net gainer.

“”I pick my battles. Ninety percent of the time, I’ll joke around, but some of the jokes, I hope, make people think.””

Makes me think he’s a D*ck wad. He is demonizing our President for ratings and as the competition between he, Colbert and that other schmuck Fallon battle for ratings, they are getting even more hysterical.

These jesters and play actors want to stick out their political necks? Then they get what they deserve.

His bigger problem is the fact he’s as funny as being shot in the a**.

Most Conservatives and good natured and good humoured people - we can laugh at ourselves but the humour needs to be witty and well judged.

GENERALLY late night viewers of these shows are leftists on the coasts. That’s the target audience. So yes, in general, he can say all this stuff and get away with it without much impact.
