Disney-ABC could conceivably withhold popular shows and sporting events from Sinclair and Nexstar if enough people complain/cancel over Kimmel.
Conceivably, though that might well be a violation of their network/affiliate contracts with those companies.
Trump is going to sue ABC again, for bringing back Kimmel:
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! 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. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major lllegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.
And the grounds appear to be, “you told me you were gonna fire him, and you didn’t!”
On normal Earth, such a lawsuit would get thrown out immediately. But, here on Bizzaro Trump Earth…
What a fucking snowflake. Get him to his safe space before he melts ASAP!
Just heard on a national news broadcast (I’m in Canada), that our stations that normally carry Kimmel will indeed be carrying Kimmel tonight. A quick check of the channel guide tells me I can watch Kimmel on a Canadian station.
No Sinclair or Nexstar up here!
Don’t you think Frasier is a little highbrow for trump? Not a drop of gold plate in the condo. Nothing but The Apprentice and Miss Teen USA reruns for Donnie.
Watching the start of the Kimmel show now …
Yep. Monologue is starting.
No, it wasn’t. The White House was told the show was ‘suspended indefinitely’. ‘Indefinitely’ does not mean ‘for ever’.
Preempted by Extra! here.
As he discusses Kirk and what people thought he said Kimmel is genuinely emotional.
But for those who were afraid he would apologize…not happening.
Ha!
Trump (in a clip): “Kimmel has no ratings.”
Kimmel (Live): “Well, I do tonight.”
But yes, no apologies.
Commercial break.
I heard nothing offensive so far (nothing that I believe would ketchup-stain a White House wall), but of course, how Trump specifically, and White House staff generally, would interpret Kimmel’s remarks so far could vary.
And he goes at the Fat Orange Monster: “Our leader celebrates people losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke.”
DJT is going to be the butt of a LOT of jokes.
Holy crap! Is that Robert De Niro?
De Niro is now the chairman of the FCC, and has taken on the role of a mob boss. “Speech is no longer free. You gotta pay for it.”
Okay, that’s good.
Now we’re getting digs at Trump, in regards to Trump’s Tylenol remarks: “[He’s] a glazed ham with deep-vein thrombosis.” To the audience’s delight and laughter, by the way.
Commercial break.
Watching Bobby Brain-worm’s face during the “Don’t Take Tylenol” montage was delightful.
For those who can’t watch.
