News Jimmy Kimmel Show "Removed" Indefinitely

[Nerys Myk]

I wonder if the "thoughtful conversations" ( chortle ) the management had with Kimmel involved a discussion about the difference between truth and falsehood.

Then again, given that Kimmel doesn't seem capable of understanding any such distinction, maybe they didn't even bother?

Kimmel’s a comedian. His jokes aren’t required to be truthful, just funny. And it’s not like both sides weren’t stumbling over each other to hastily declare, “he’s one of yours!!!!”

...it's not actually a joke?

It is, just not particularly funny. But then it’s Kimmel.

Looks like Sinclair owned stations will continue to preempt Kimmel for the time being. How pathetic.

Sinclair Broadcast Group plans to preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! on its ABC affiliates when the late-night host returns on Tuesday, but says that its talks with the network are ongoing.


“Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return,” the company said.

He doesn't just do jokes, he also does propaganda. He's multi-use, like a Swiss army knife.

I think you’re funnier than Jimmy Kimmel.

 

[Set Harth]

That's a low bar.

He has opinions. If you wanna call that “propaganda “, so be it.

If anyone in their broadcast areas really wants to watch Kimmel, they can find his show on the internet.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s moved to Disney+ for the remainder of his contract, at some point.

If my local ABC station doesn't have Jimmy on tonight, I'm removing it from my channel memory. I'm done with them if they do. There's nothing else on that channel I watch.

There's really no point in watching them even when severe weather is here, they run their normal programming while tornadoes and thunderstorms rampage thru my area because they don't want to lose the $$ from unaired ads. They show a chyron telling people to watch the weatherman thru an app. I'm sure the folks in areas with no handy cell tower nearby appreciate that when the power dies and they lose wifi. Useless.
