| He got his show back, so what is there to argue about? Public pressure works. |
Keep up. It's not that simple. |
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump During and between his terms as President of the United States, Donald Trump has made tens of thousands of false or misleading claims. Fact-checkers at The Washington Post documented 30,573 false or misleading claims during his first presidential term, an average of 21 per day.[1][5][6][7] The Toronto Star tallied 5,276 false claims from January 2017 to June 2019, an average of six per day.[2] Commentators and fact-checkers have described Trump's lying as unprecedented in American politics,[13] and the consistency of falsehoods as a distinctive part of his business and political identities.[14] Scholarly analysis of Trump's X posts found significant evidence of an intent to deceive. |
He never lost his show, he was briefly suspended. Whatever the case, they want to pull the plug because the show’s costs are a boat anchor on their balance sheet. All these late night shows are obsolete graft pits. |
that's not it at all and you know it Keep cancelling and keep calling Sinclair |
We do know. He's an insensitive jerk. |

What's weird about this is that the affiliates are losing money everyday they keep Kimmel off the air. Nothing else they put in that time slot will generate even 10% of Kimmel's audience. Jimmy still pulls over 1M people per night tuning in. And even if you argue that Kimmel is "unprofitable," Kimmel (and other late night shows) are basically cross-product advertising for other ABC/Disney/Hulu/ESPN shows and movies and associated music. There are synergies for other forms of entertainment with late night TV. |
Thank you. Rabid haters just make stuff up to tear down their targets. |
No, they're ad vehicles, because the hosts continually talk about the other shows on the same network. They're making money for the network. But you're conveniently forgetting that. |
| He's only coming back so his staffers can draw a paycheck again. |
More people get themselves riled over his show cancellation than actually watch his show. |

A very emotional return for Kimmel. Glad I watched it. It wasn't funny like it usually is, except at the end, because he was deadly serious about what had happened. He thanked those who supported him, and the right-wingers who defended his right to free speech. He repeated his condolences regarding Kirk - that he had posted the day he died, but which the right had conveniently forgotten.
And then he made fun of FCC chair Carr and Trump, and was back to his old self. Very special show. |
Yes it was. He was gracious in victory and there was no gloating. Trump should take a lesson. |
