Disney’s ABC said it would take Jimmy Kimmel‘s popular late-night show off its schedule “indefinitely” after one of the biggest owners of TV stations in the U.S., Nexstar Media, said it intended to pre-empt airings of the program following remarks the host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

I think the FCC should take ABCs license.

When I read here this morning about what he said, I told my wife, “I wonder if they’ll do a ‘Colbert’ on him”. I didn’t think they really would.

GUESS WHAT, HONEY?……😁

This would not have happened 2 years ago.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is the bad guys want to fight.

I’m so glad I’ll probably see next to -0- images of that slimy psychopath snake soon, once the libtard screaming is over & done.

Just the most accidental memory of that arse is enough to make me nauseous, but of course there’s still a crap ton of democrat scum in Congress, sure hope a few of them are connected to one of the thousands of violent groups Armed Queers SLC, because if they’re mormon-land can you image how far & wide the infection has spread?

And once he’s off the air and no one even notices…. He ain’t coming back! Of the Colbert - Fallon - Kimmel triumvirate he is the least talented (which is saying something!). So long Jimmy!

The FCC is finally starting to do their job again. It is refreshing. I guess ABC decided to do it the easy way rather than the hard way, as the FCC put it.

Like Belushi in Animal House he will shout “let’s go” and then look behind him for the multitude of fans for support and see that no one is looking up from sitting there bored.

“But I’m a major superstar of late night.”

He knew there was trouble when “Interviews With Stars of 1955 Professional Bowling” and “Pre-Season Canadian Curling Tryouts” outdid him in ratings.

“This would not have happened 2 years ago.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is the bad guys want to fight.”

Heck, I doubt it would have happened just 2 weeks ago...

Charlie’s murder has accomplished goals he could only hope & pray to reach in support of the Trump/MAGA counterrevolution.

Don’t be afraid of the bad guys; It’s time for them to be afraid of Us, Trump & the MAGA counterrevolution...

Sic semper tyrannis!

“”””As of the second quarter of 2025, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” averaged about 1.77 million viewers per episode.””””


I am not sure how Jimmy’s show ranks relative to Sewing With Nancy, but it may not be that big of a loss for ABC to dump Kimmel.

You can bet they got a MOUTHFUL from phone calls from all over the country, this was the last straw and I think that ABC finally said “Ya know what, this is our chance, we can FINALLY rid ourselves of this prick” oh well he still has who wants to be a millionaire LOL
