Jimmy Kimmel announces summer leave amid blackface controversy
The Hill ^ | 6/19/2020 | Joe Concha

ABC's Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday announced he will be taking the summer off after facing criticism over wearing blackface in a recurring skit he performed while working on "The Man Show" on Comedy Central.

Kimmel, as a co-host of the "The Man Show," performed a recurring skit that included him dressed in blackface as then-NBA star Karl Malone. Videos and photos of the skits on the show, which ran from 1999-2004, have been circulating online recently with calls for Kimmel to apologize.

>>instead he hides in his room another coward<<

Yep, he’s just going to lay low for a couple weeks and hope this all blows over and they forget. I hope they make him resign and puts black transgender latinX in his place.

Looks like sexually discrimination to me.

Wasn’t Rosanne Barr fired?

Kimmel also did some blackface skits as “Oprah Jimfrey”, which were kind of funny. He must be punished.

Oh, you know the rules. As long as he does public penance and makes a nice payment to BLM, they'll let him back in. Like Bill Maher and others, if you're useful, and make the payments, you'll be okay.

When is Howard Stern going to be forced to do the same?

Howard Stern up next, he and Kimmel are best buds and my heart bleeds for both of them.

Let's not forget Ted Danson when he was Mr. Whoopi Goldberg.

Nice Hitler salute ol’ blackface Ted’s doing there.
And what’s the deal with Whoopi— black men not good enough for her?
She’s dated multiple white guys AFAIK.

Yep! His Democrat Immunity will wear off and Whoopi may have to sacrifice him to the mob

Whoopi encouraged him to do it, and even wrote the speech for him. She needs to go, too.

If the end result of this is White Liberal being thoroughly disgraced, then it will be worth it.

We should form a group..lol. Howard was neutered by Beth, IMO.
Even though he is RICH he is extremely ugly. To become someone a woman like Beth would actually date he had to stop acting like an idiot. Now he’s woke and has totally lost his sense of humor, as perverse as it was.
I have Sirius and love it for Fox, F Biz, and Patriot Radio. I honestly forgot that’s where Howard went.
Are there any other good conservative stations?
