As my PJ Media colleague Catherine Salgado previously reported, Disney and ABC have suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show after his grotesque, politically charged comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk—remarks that not only mocked the tragedy but also peddled lies about the shooter’s ideology.(snip)
It was exactly the kind of late-night propaganda that’s driven audiences away in droves, and outraged conservatives flooded social media demanding his firing.
Technically, Kimmel hasn’t been fired… yet… but for many, this was still a satisfying development.
And in perhaps the most delicious twist of all, it was Roseanne Barr—the woman ABC infamously canceled over a single tweet—who delivered the knockout reaction. When MSNBC’s Chris Hayes absurdly declared, “This is the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I’ve ever seen in my life and it’s not even close,” Roseanne responsed with a perfectly pointed tweet.
Classic.
Back in 2018, ABC fired Roseanne after a single tweet about Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett that the network deemed racist. The show was a massive ratings success at the time, the biggest hit on television, but that didn’t save her. Then-ABC entertainment president Channing Dungey blasted her comments as “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.” Bob Iger, Disney’s CEO, immediately backed the termination, and within hours, the hit revival of Roseanne was axed. ABC scrambled to rebrand the series as The Conners, trying to milk the show’s popularity without its star. Roseanne apologized, but that didn’t matter. She became one of the first high-profile victims of modern cancel culture—erased, career shattered—because the network claimed her presence insulted their “values.”

You can almost hear Barr's trademark laughter...
Turnabout is fair play, Jimmy.
Nice!
She's replying with that gif to a lot of people. LOL https://x.com/therealroseanne/with_replies
Her quote, after getting fired from her show. She was making a point, and still being a comedian at the same time.
Perfect.
I have boycotted this pig for her disgraceful performance of The National Anthem.
Looks like Sinclair will allow Kimmel back on if he apologizes and donates to TPUSA:
Local TV giant Sinclair demands Jimmy Kimmel make ‘direct apology’ to Charlie Kirk’s family, donate to TPUSA
Sinclair Broadcasting said ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel was insufficient, announcing it will yank “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from its stations until the host apologizes directly to Charlie Kirk’s family and donates to his political activist group.
I predict Kimmel will bend the knee.

Always disliked the Roseanne Show. And she should not have been chosen to sing anything not bar related. Roseanne has matured and I applaud her and appreciate much of her new found unbridled candor. She, at least, has evolved.
The sniveling transsexual Hayes is next to be canceled.
When a filthy democrat suffers, life is good for everyone else.
I don’t know how she listened to RFK,Jr’s bear story without making that same laughing face

To RFK,Jr credit, he has gotten a lot of positive results related to the food industry. I still think he is kind of crazy but I applaud the results.
Maybe ABC doesn’t think killing political opponents is funny. Almost all Americans agree with ABC that killing political opponents isn’t funny. Odd having them stand with the ‘normals’ on this issue.
It’s Nextstar that forced the issue
Gina Carano
Michelle Obama called Iger and demanded she get fired .
Big white hating Mike pulled the trigger .
I have a feeling this ass clown has bent his knee lots of times.
