Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly “absolutely f–king livid” over ABC’s decision to axe his late-night night show following backlash to his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination – while President Trump cheered the move as “great news for America.”

“Absolutely f–king livid,” one producer told the outlet about how Kimmel took the news, adding that the “pissed” late-night host is currently meeting with the network.
“This is clearly the government overreaching. There’s no such thing as free speech in America, if the government can lean on companies to stop any content they don’t like.” Sources told the outlet that the network’s decision is the “last straw” for Kimmel, who is now “actively looking” to break out of his contract and end his relationship with ABC. “Jimmy is pissed over the decision to suspend him and the show and he isn’t going to take this lightly, as he is actively looking for ways to get out of his contract,” the source said, with another insisting they’ve “never seen Kimmel this angry.”

Naw...he crossed a line.
Bye, you had your day... It's all gone now.
It had EVERYTHING to do with what he said or he’d still be on now. Unless you think Celebrity Family feud is a big ratings draw at 11:30 at night.
Anyone notice how they keep leaving out the comment comparing Trumps grieving of Charlie to a 4 year old losing a gold fish?
I am sure our Forefathers are rolling in their graves at the bastards acting like fools in our media.
So they want free speech without any personal negative consequences.
Not very adultish of them. They hate having to put on the big boy / big girl pants and own what the garbage they speak when there are negative consequences.
They want to FA, but apparently not the FO part.
Maybe if Jimmys parents had taught him some basic manners, some simple moral lessons, and to watch his fat mouth, he wouldn’t find himself in this self-created situation.
Why does Jimmy Kimmel think he's safe from comments he made about Charlie Kirk, who was murdered by an assassin?
ABC/Disney is probably still smarting from their settlement with Gina Carano, after they fired her for holocaust comments that they let her co-star Pedro Pascal get away with for saying similar things.

Kimmel can cry all night if he wants. He can f*** himself for what he said.
Jimmy can still get a new gig.
Leftist scum killed Charlie.
Free speech comes from God.
Your job is just a privilege provided by your boss.
Don’t make trouble for your boss.
Don’t be an asshole.
Don’t lose the privilege.
Lighten up, Frances. It’s not as if someone shot you in the neck. Sheesh. A little proportion too much to aks?
“if the government can lean on companies to stop any content they don’t like”
You mean like what they did all through the Biden and Obama years?
“ I don’t think this had anything to do with what he said. This was a business decision. ”
No and yes.
No in that it was related to what he said. Licenses are real, even though it seems like a formality or even divine right.
Yes in that this gives them an excuse to make a business decision they wanted to make.
Livid??? Is he frothing at the mouth yet?
Man, Kimmel is throwing a fit like a 4 year old whose mom told him he can’t have candy before bed.
Somebody give him a trampoline and hire a couple of girls with big boobs to jump up and down on it. That oughta calm him down.
He knew.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the big wigs welcome the end of the talk show format completely. It was stale 25 years ago.
