So I go into the bathroom, and I'm on the phone with the ABC executives, and they say, 'Listen, we want to take the temperature down. We're concerned about what you're going to say tonight,'

Seattle is ahead of us! Indivisible there has weekly protests re Sinclair's refusal to air Jimmy Kimmel in that market (www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/850025/). Portland, with KATU as another ABC Sinclair station, hasn't reacted similarly. Let's write, phone, or even protest now (see https://katu.com/station/contact)! Then check out recent Kimmel youtube episodes to up online viewership and consider subscribing too to show support (& I did the same for Colbert).

Here is my last point on Kimmel. If Kimmel came on and apologized like this the day after his remarks he probably wouldn't have been suspended. But by all accounts he wanted to double down. Again for the billionth time this isn't a free speech issue. He works for Mickey Mouse on NETWORK TV. Nobody said he was going to jail.

Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The 'suspending indefinitely' of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation.

It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it.... Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what - it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some, that felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way.

Yes, Jimmy got emotional. So what. He's emotional for himself because he almost torched his entire career. Kimmel is an unrepentant liar who tried to blame Charlie's assassination on the part of the country that just spent the last 2 weeks praying and holding vigils. What he's really saying is that he still thinks it's fair game to slander conservatives. He would rather advance his own political and cultural agenda than confront the truth.

The late-night host's show returned after a brief suspension over comments regarding Charlie Kirk. In case you missed it, or you're in a market where local affiliates are still refusing to air the show, we've got a rundown of all the highlights. Kimmel teared up, explaining that he never intended to make light of Kirk's death. And he called political efforts to sway networks and affiliates from airing the show "un-American," noting it wasn't just about comedy.

I got my whole life ruined, no forgiveness, and all of my work stolen-called a racist for time and eternity, for racially misgendering someone. It just shows how they think. It's a double standard.

Jimmy Kimmel's definitely a loser, but let's give him credit. For a man who's not particularly funny, he's hard to look at, he's not very talented, he's a poor writer, he has drafted his entire career behind Adam Carolla, what the man is apparently gifted at is blackmail because I don't know what he has on the ABC and Disney execs.

He added that he wasn't trying to blame any specific group "for the actions of what ... was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make." He said he understood his remarks last week to some "felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both." But he made no apologies. And he criticized the ABC affiliates who took his show off the air.

Jimmy Kimmel opened his return to Jimmy Kimmel Live! with a line ripped from late-night lore, staring into the camera after nearly a week off the air and borrowing another host's defiant comeback. As the boisterous audience cheers settled Tuesday night, Kimmel began: As I was saying before I was interrupted The move was a deliberate echo of Jack Paar, the mercurial host who while on air dramatically quit NBC's Tonight Show in 1960 after network censors cut one of his jokes about a bathroom.

I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! complained Trump in a Truth Social post: Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his talent was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE.

Although ABC is bringing Jimmy Kimmel back on Tuesday night, Sinclair and Nexstar - which together own nearly a third of ABC affiliate stations in the US - said they won't air Kimmel's show and will instead show local news. ABC had suspended Jimmy Kimmel "indefinitely" last week for his comments about Charlie Kirk's killer after pushback from Sinclair and Nexstar and pressure from FCC chair Brendan Carr, who warned he might review local broadcast licenses if stations kept airing the show.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is returning to the air on Tuesday, after ABC briefly suspended his show last week over comments the comedian made about Charlie Kirk's assassination. But while Kimmel is back on ABC, some of the broadcast network's affiliate TV stations plan to continue to preempt his show - including two California TV stations. KRCR-TV in the Chico-Redding area and KAEF-TV in Eureka are owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns or

I apologize without reservation to [Scott Jennings], Olbermann wrote in a Tuesday post to X. Olbermann said his messages related to Jennings and late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel could be misinterpreted as a threat. Yesterday I wrote and immediately deleted 2 responses to him about Kimmel because they could be misinterpreted as a threat to anything besides his career. I immediately replaced them with ones specifying what I actually meant, he wrote.
