Jimmy Kimmel Says He Was Told Not to Read Trump’s Oscars Criticism
Breitbart ^ | 03/11/2024 | David Ng

Academy Awards host Jimmy Kimmel said he was told not to read former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social post during Sunday’s live ABC telecast.

Speaking to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos for their post-Oscars coverage, Kimmel said some people advised him against reading Trump’s post in which the former president dissed both Kimmel and the Oscars.

“They’re like, ‘You’ve got a little bit of time’ and I was like, ‘I’m reading the Trump tweet,’ and they’re like, ‘No, no, don’t read that,’” Kimmel said, adding that he didn’t heed their orders. “‘Yes I am.’”

Kimmel didn’t elaborate on who gave him the orders, though it appears to have been either people affiliated with the Academy or ABC.

He has to have someone to blame? The whole article is who told him to do that

He speaks like a juvenile “I was like…” “And they wer like…”

The people he insulted on the Christopher Nolan crew would never point the finger like that

They came out with 7 Oscar’s. Each one of them did a simple speech thanking the Nolan’s, the crew, their families their agents the other nominees the academy and they were gone

Kimmel was so not funny it will be ridiculous if he’s on again.

What an immature man

What passes for talent these days is pretty lame.

Jay Leno was probably the last reasonably talented late night host.

The rest of these guys are pathetic.

Trump can’t stay out of their heads. Trump got to him. Shows how small Kimmel is.

You could reverse it and it would also be true.

Is Trump really that fragile? He started it after all.

Kimmy spent his career retreading Letterman, without understand Letterman was retreading Steve Allen; and now the diminishing returns -- aka maximum career suck vortex -- came home to roost about 15 years ago.

He had Colbert on the ropes to the point of maybe CBS not renewing that c---------'s contract, and then Trump won.

Kimmy is one word: unserious. He is unserious at his core being. Corolla refuses to say a negative word about him EXCEPT, that Kimmy is unserious - a glib mf'r who goes around saying "Fire me, I don't care, I probably deserve it." ABC apparently enjoys Kimmy's kneepadding so, no change -- although he came close to being fired during #blackfacelivesmatter.

Adam Corolla was the comedy talent on that show, Kimmel just acted like a child, much like he does today.

Who’s winning?

Well much like Coke Pepsi battle the winner doesn’t mention the loser.

Back when the cola wars were at their peak. Pepsi marketing would mention Coke and how much better they were etc…

Coke never ever ever mentioned Pepsi in any marketing, ever. Other than the failed new coke campaign.
