ABC Cancels Jimmy Kimmel’s Show Indefinitely After Kimmel Lied About Charlie Kirk’s Assassin Being a MAGA Conservative

Trump

“I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them.”

Press Sec Leavitt (perhaps inadvertently speaking truth)

Look, the President is authentically himself.

If this was nothing but a publicity stunt by Disney to get JKL's ratings back up...well-played, Disney. Sad part is, if the right didn't take the bait, JKL would have gone the same way as The Late Show with Colbert. Now, it may have a few more years of life left in it.

I'm waiting for all the leftists that claimed this was government censorship to step up and say they were wrong.

Because OBVIOUSLY the network isn't going to go against the GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP regime amiright?

So this simply means ABC over-ruled ABC. It was ABCs decision all along and it wasn't government censorship.

Now Disney is going to have to keep paying for that losers show that NOBODY was watching.

LOL.. stupid leftists stepping on the rake!

Washing his hands?

"Jimmy Kimmel is in the situation that he is in because of his ratings, not because of anything that's happened at the federal government level,"

Brendan 'we can do this the easy way or we can do it the hard way' Carr told the 2025 Concordia Annual Summit.

Though there's a hint of what you say..I'd opine Kimmel's ratings for Tuesday night will be considerably higher than the last couple of weeks. Whether it lasts or not is a good question.

Seems they're doing what their viewers want.

Digging? Whose digging? Just simply presenting what has been found. And found in the open I might add. And the statutes, TxDot is rightly spanking you like the fat orange rippled ass being beat on by a Forbes magazine. I will let him continue to school you on that. *BUT* I will acknowledge any newfound changes to the statutes since maggies love to change the rules to suit themselves on the fly. And put it correctly, he is *OUR* hero. Anyone who sticks up for the #1 amenment (sp) like the charlie guy is a hero. Since charlie ain't here anymore, Jimmy can tout the flag for such.

Oh god. Your side/my side/your president/not my president.
Geez.
Y'all maggies sure do have one unerring quality. And that' to own up to any mistake y'all make that throws shade on the lot of you. So stop dispensing with the pronouns and possesives. As Lucas says below, your melange one has all you little sheeple herding to a russian style thugocracy. Try and find one independent media source that will tell you what is going on there. Give you a hint, the guy here is trying to mirror it. And y'all maggies are lapping it up.

How soon you forget what charlie stood for and what jimmy is getting squashed for. You independent thought went with the 1st admenment, out the window?

... The FCC, the government, on orders of President Trump.

Wrong. ABC affiliates have deals coming up that require the FCC to write off on. The moment that fat asshole trump got his thumb on the FCC guy it was Maga squash time.

Welcome back, Jimmy and good for Bob Iger for not being Trump's bitch!

The maggies are the new cult of personality.

[Precious_b]

Ohhh!

UPDATE: Jimmy coming back tuesday.

So, for all those who said he is lying and breaking the rules, ima sure that there will be federal officials in the wings waiting to put the chrome bracelets on him.

Any takers on that action? I mean, it's gotta be true since the maggies said it was breaking the rules.

PS - I love how my local ABC affiliate kept running Jimmy Kimmble commercials during his hiatus

... That's all quite possible, mate. ... However, things
like this don't last... His rating may go up at the outset
for a good fortnight or so - but then the boredom will
once again set it. ... And the interest will wane.

Rule 73.1227 isn’t a multitude choice rule. All 3 items in the rules must also apply. Without substantial public harm there is no violation.

What this is all about is El Schitzenpants being butthurt and using his supposedly friend’s death to go after his enemies.

He is a thin skinned little man boy who doesn’t like it when people are mean to him.

Since, as usual, YOU are wrong again, you best ask yourself that question. Or learn something about the FCC works. Your pathetic whining about Trump is pathetic cover for the fact that you and every other leftard here has ZERO clue about reality. Budman had you people described perfectly.

The maggies are the new cult of personality.

More projection since your boy txdot is getting schooled on reality. Again. And yet more pathetic insults to cover your utter lack of any sort of argument. And to embarrass you even more, the FCC doesn't arrest people. And they don't have to give you fines or warnings before punishing you to the fullest extent. And Sinclair won't air your liar's show until he apologizes for LYING. The FCC made NO threats about anything. Or you goofs would have posted links to said threats hy now.

[orallvr69]

Told ya so, lol


His ratings are worse than Colbert's, too.


He said "Fuck you" to half of his audience years ago, from there, the loyal "fans" have been dropping like flies.


I wouldn't waste my time watching any late night shows (even Gutfeld...who is actually funny)

Glad I didn't read this thread.

Goodnight David

if you say so


in other news ..


Kimmel’s show to return Tuesday, but Sinclair will continue preemption

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/enter...x-newtab-en-us


if Sinclair was worried about mergers and the FCC why would they continue to not broadcast his show? in 38 markets in the US. it is ABC's call to put him back on the air. Sinclair can still refuse until Kimmel meets their demands and one is Kimmel must make a public apology.


remember valued posters Kimmel got himself in this mess and it's his ass got to get out of it.


here is what's gonna happen tomorrow and i might watch it for the amusement. ABC and Kimmel have talked and agree he'll make some sort of apology "good intend bad phrasing" type statement. ABC wouldn't be letting him back without it at this point. Book it, Dano!


or Kimmel can go rouge nuclear and triple down and take his 50 million and go away.


BAHHAAHAAAAAA

[ICU 812]

But now Kimmel is back?

I am hearing that many affiliated stations still will not broadcast his show though.

this is not over yet.
