Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel says that the American people have had enough of the type of anti-Trump humor that he regularly spews and that it is now time for him to “make fun of ourselves.” In an interview with Deadline, Kimmel was asked whether he had prepared a “barrelful of barbs” for President Trump in his upcoming standup routine for ABC’s upfronts.
“Oh, wow. Yeah, you know, I hadn’t really thought about it that way, but I guess you’re right. Hopefully, it’ll be the last upfront of the Trump era, too,” Kimmel said.
“So, I don’t know, I don’t know how much focus there will be on that. I think people have had an ass-full of Donald Trump, and I feel like the upfront is a time to look within and make fun of ourselves,” Kimmel said of his comedy routine for the annual event that sees major advertisers gather to purchase airtime on networks, like ABC, ahead of the summer and fall TV seasons.
Kimmel went on to say that although his upcoming routine will not be a “Trump-free zone,” it will not be so focused on events in and around the White House.

Anyone have a chart of kimmel’s ratings over the last 2 months? I bet that has something to do with it...
Is this satire?
Exactly!
Thanks.
Trust me Kimmel is NOT a Democrat strategist and would LOVE to keep bashing Trump.
The ONLY REASON that he’s making this statement is because no one, particularly Maxine, is listening to Nancy - so now they bring out their heavy artillery to try to HAMMER HOME the point that the Dems are going to need something more than IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH if they actually want to win something in November.
Kimmel is simply doing the job of being a good slave-boy to the DNC. Nothing more than that.
I miss Johnny Carson.
He’s in 3rd place (last) among the nightly network “comedy” shows with 1.87 million viewers:
he’s gotta put dinner on the table......
Better watch it, Jimmy.
That #metoo shark is hungry.
Kimmel AND his liberal elite friends still hate us AND they still hate Trump but now they're going to hide their hatred until they can take back power... Are we all charmed yet?
You are full of crap, Jimmy.
We ain’t in no way tired (to paraphrase a former Secretary of State).
Now get back to that comedy that you do best, you lazy goat!
It has to be the most popular thing you know how to do.
Why else do it for the past 2 years?

Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel???
There was somebody other than Johnny Carson??Never heard of this kibbel clown.
Trump wins again!
I'm not exaggerating. It is obsessive/compulsive race mongering. Every single hour, every single day, 365 days every cotton pickin' single year.
I've long since given up an any NPR station. Each and every one is far left trying to sell their hate.
Thankfully when I'm in the mood for classical music there is WCPE streaming out of Wake Forest (the town, not the school), North Carolina. Just music. No NPR. No news. Just music: The Classical Station.
I watch it when I can and I find it still funny even if it is dated. Carson was basically a New Deal Democrat but you would never know it watching his show. His producer Fred De Cordova was a stanch Republican and a close friend of the Reagans but it did not bother Carson.
Carson rarely had any politicians on but if he did he was always respectful.
Last night I was watching and for some reason the Band was not there and Carson just ad libbed his way through things and it was funny. He talking to people in the audience and these two women wondered if he could get them into the Castle of Magic in LA. You have to be a member and Carson was having a lot of fun and told them to just give their names to a page and he would call and get them in. Now who today would do that????????
Carson was the master and I would rather watch him than Kimmel or Colbert.
Headline doesn’t match the story.
Never could stand Kimmel and truly had enough of him a very long time ago.
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!
“I feel like the upfront is a time to look within and make fun of ourselves,”
LOL! Jimmy could be on the verge of a HUGE mistake. Certain people have NO sense of humor.
