Conservative actor James Woods decided to share his thoughts on Thursday on X. At first, it looked like he would shock everybody with his take on Kimmel’s misfortune.
Woods wrote, ” We’ve all made jokes at Jimmy Kimmel’s expense.” But Mr. Kimmel is a fellow artist, and I am heartbroken to see how he has been treated.”
“I believe he is, in his heart of hearts, a good and decent fellow, devoid of malice and hate,” he continued.
Then, Woods performed a sudden heel turn, revealing how he felt about Kimmel getting sacked.
“Just kidding, Jimbo,” he quipped. “Eat sh*t.”

Let’s not fool ourselves. He was pulled back by the network because his ratings are in the toilet, and remain in free fall. He was barely above 120k viewers lsat week, when he was above 260k just two months ago, and above 600k two years ago.
Let what go, exactly?
Truth Czar
THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT IF KIMMEL IS ACTUALLY FIRED OR NOT, ITS ABOUT JAMES WOODS ZINGING KIMMEL......IF YOU HAD BOTHERED TO ACTUALLY READ WHAT WOODS SAID YOU’D KNOW THAT.....DAMN. SMH
No you are confused champ. Were you insulting the responder to your post or Woods? Don’t me so quick to get mouth diarrhea if you were wrong here. And for the love of God, Boomer, take off the CAPS, my eyes are bleeding. Nobody cares really that you need to shout and you are angry.
V-TWIN gave you away Boomer. You ride one of those POS, got it.
The real problem is not Kimmel, it is Disney. Kimmel was on Disney because he reflected their vicious political philosophy.
It depends on the affiliates. I suspect if he doesn’t apologize, he is gone for good. The more his “friends” run their mouths, the less chance he has coming back.
I have always like James Wood and his acting. He can play a weasel bad guy like no other.
“He can play a weasel bad guy like no other.”
Mostly a weasel...I wonder where he gets his inspiration? ;>)
I Rest My Case!
I think his looks do help. I am not saying he looks bad, but he does have a distinctive look about him.
And his bad guys are not just over the top parodies. He can be a weaselly worm, a smarmy a$$hole, or downright evil. And he is believable.
He can also play other roles as well.
Yeah this is how it went down
Kimmel states killer is MAGA.
Affiliates say we’re not putting him on the air anymore.
ABC say apologize or you’re gone.
Kimmel who has FU money says FU
ABC seeing the show is no longer viable without the affiliates pulls the plug.
That is where things stand today like you said. Maybe there are wheels turning behind the scenes for some other scenario of Kimmel popping up elsewhere. He’s been invited to go on Colbert to vent or rant or whatever.
His show was losing 40-50 million a year. His advertisers were pulling out also.
If they put him back on, he will be a bigger money loser, as he will have lost half his advertisers, and over 1/3 of the stations that carried him. Now, explain how putting him on makes sense.
I majored in broadcasting, so I know how this all works, and his little speech gave them what they needed to cancel him. Even then they tried to work with him, and he told them to F off.
SO where does this leave ABC. I suspect they want to bring hom back in a few weeks after its settles down, but it has moved past that. The advertisers will still be gone, and absent an apology like demanded from the affricates, they will probably not carry him.
Now they may bring him back just to prove he wasn’t cancelled for free speech but without advertisers and stations carrying him, what would be the point? Get token leftists points. They already have turned on ABC and Disney anyway. His show will be losing even more money.
And off topic, but Disney has now managed to piss off everyone. Good job guys. Ran off conservatives, and families first, and now the left hates you anyway. Pure genius guys...
The first thing I read was that he was suspended indefinitely. The word was Kimmel went ballistic "how dare they suspend me" type attitude I would think.
Just guessing here but prior to Colbert and Kimmel getting the modified heave ho what was the rationale for keeping them on the air losing money? Near as I can tell the shows promoted other show biz assets and also the dim party. Right now the dims don’t have much federal power and with Trump somewhat in control the talk shows have now veered into serious liability territory.
i love james woods...
very funny man. he puts the FU in FUnny.
hehehe
USAID covered the bills.
ABC is bringing him back, that didn’t take long.
