Hollywood stars erupt with outrage after ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel off air
NBC ^ | 9/18/25 | Patrick Smith

Kimmel criticized Republicans and the MAGA movement in his monologue Monday night and ABC announced it was axing the show Wednesday, hours after FCC chair Brendan Carr threatened to โ€œtake action.โ€

The move drew praise from President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans. But Hollywood, where Kimmel is popular as a frequent host of the Oscars and Emmys, leapt to to his defense.

Hollywood still doesn’t get it, they need us, we don’t need them. Keep boycotting woke movies and TV shows.

AI should be able to replace 'stars' that wallow in WOKE hate... And AI would be cheaper than inflicting these horrible prima donnas on the country. Eff 'em.

Agreed. โ€œStarsโ€ suggests someone outstanding in the field. There are so many in entertainment and the media calls all of them stars

I’m always confusing Jimmy Kimmel with Jimmy Fallon. Still don’t know which is which.

If your mad about jimmy being fired but not mad about Gina Carano being let go, you might be a hypocrite.

the hand-full of quoted Hollywood has-beens [e.g. Jamie Lee Curtis, Wanda Sykes, Henry Winkler, Kathy Griffin, Rosie O’Donnell ] are the usual leftist suspects who shoot of their mouths in outrage about pretty much everything ... besides, no thinking person should give a krap about anything “hollywood celebrities” say, anyway ....

Jimmy Kimmel Live! to be replaced by Charlie Kirk tribute show - and star won’t be allowed back on air unless he makes a donation to Turning Point USA

“The broadcaster also called on Kimmel to issue a ‘direct apology to the Kirk family’ and to make a ‘meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.’ TPUSA is a conservative college campus group founded by Kirk, with Kimmel a well-known liberal. “

Did they complain when Rosanne Barr was fired for tweeting about Valarie Jarrett?

No, they celebrated.

Turnabout.

The only way to eliminate cancel culture is to use that weapon against those that used it against us.
