I wouldn't hold my breath. I'll be shocked if Kimmel gets his show back (even if he wants it back at this point). This was all about capitulation to the FCC for profits.
But this isn't the place for that discussion.

But this isn't the place for that discussion.
I don't think Kimmel would be amenable to any expectations placed on him for continuing his show. Disney is probably saying this so they don't have to fire him and pay out his contract.
I'm very far from being Conservative in any of my viewpoints, but encouraging the boycotting Disney is a clear-cut case of going after the wrong target.
The FCC was threatening to shut down ABC entirely if Kimmel remained on the air. Kimmel doubled down like Colbert did a few months ago.
Thank you for illustrating and strengthening my point.
You say that as if he were the one in the wrong. The government's actions are completely unconstitutional.
Not only does he need to return he needs to have a big role in the show along with Karen Page. Lack of interesting supporting cast really hurt the show last season IMO. Also I want to see the return of the Night Nurse. I know Rosario Dawson might be hard to get back but even a single episode would be nice.
More like they want to eat their cake and have it to. I agree he shouldn't have been fired but of course ethics mean nothing to them. Just optics.
girl bye
The only boycott that worked even a little was the right wings boycott of Budweiser and even then only a little bit. Most of them fail and this will fail because people we have a show or movie they want to watch so they will keep their subscription even if they don't like what went down.
I knew I liked her for a reason. Good idea. Done.Don't expect to see She-Hulk again. Maslany has burnt her bridges by encouraging people to cancel Disney+ because of Jimmy Kimmel's cancellation.
Release the Epstein files.

I guess she'd fall under the comment from Feige a few months ago "Some characters you may see again. Some we'll never bring back"
It's really not, they're the ones who gave in and fired Kimmel, so that pretty clearly makes them the ones to boycott if you're going that route. I think I've made it clear how much I hate Trump and everything he's doing, but I honestly can't say if I will boycott them, I have absolutely no self control and don't think I can go cold turkey on all of the stuff Disney makes. But I do fully support the people who are stronger than me and can give up that stuff.
The only thing they'll ever listen to is the impact to their bottom line.
Boycotts work. Just ask Target and Wal-Mart.

I was just making a statement about the reason. I am quite scared about the direction your country is heading--but that is not a discussion for this thread.
I don't really blame Disney for this. They could have tried to take a stand but they'd lose. The idea that they've put Kimmel in Limbo means they are looking for a way out. There statement basically said they've been put in a corner and talked about all the employees and creatives who would lose their jobs otherwise. I'm taking a wait and see approach regarding Disney.
She was never coming back. Feige now at least as a excuse to use when they recast the character like they are going to be doing with several of the characters.
