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.”

Correct.
Plus one thousand.
Quite.
That makes him seem like a normal guy with a sense of life and humor, good story.
Note that Joan Rivers died shortly after maintaining that Big Mike was a transsexual. Using the term "pulled the trigger" might not be the wisest choice of words.
Since Hillary they all think they can get away with it. Let's ask their chef. Oh wait...
WHAT VALUES?
If ABC were smart and wanted to shake things up they’d give Rosanne the show. Rosanne Barr live! in Jimmy’s old time slot would be the biggest ratings hit ABC ever had. The whole world would want to see it.
BTW, Rosanne could pull off a late night show like that too. Her stand up is hilarious.
Thanks for posting the video!!
Wonderful irony!
