Jimmy Kimmel
 

... has been pulled off the air "indefinitely." Seems like cancelled, in so many words.

First Colbert now Kimmel? Seems like some healing is going on. Next time be funny.

He and Colbert will be hailed as martyrs by all the other @$$hats at the next Emmys that almost nobody will watch.

In the meantime Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show is streaming on Roku 24/7.

Finally someone got fired who deserved it lol.

I don’t even particularly care about the reason, I just hate Kimmel. Who’s next??

Nothing of value was lost.

It's sad to look at the career trajectories of Kimmel and Adam Carolla since the Man Show. Adam's never really changed and has just kept doing his thing... while Kimmel sold his soul and gave up comedy altogether. He made untold millions more than Carolla but made himself a joke in the process.

Too funny.

The joke is on anyone who still believes that America‘s free speech is worth anything.

Oh please. As opposed to countries that lock people up in jail for posting funny dog videos. If you're the host of a multi-million dollar show, maybe don't lie to the country about the killer of an innocent man and dance on his grave and your boss won't fire you. OH NO! Free speech is gone now, waoooo!, etc., etc..

I love that unlike Colbert, his microphone was instantly taken away. No venting on air for sympathy or songs of “**** you” - just “shush”.

Beautiful

I mean, playing devil's advocate here but your side was the one that thought saying 'kill all the n-words and f-slurs' was freedom of speech. Before Musk bought Twitter their biggest complaint not being able to post bigotry openly.

I mean c'mon. The moment someone complains about someone using racist, bigoted or homo/transphobic stuff, their immediate response is always 'but my free speech'.

That's not true. Calls to violence is not a protected part of the freedom of speech here and never has been.

Apparently the alt right missed the memo on that one.

Then they're morons. Not much to be done about morons but ignore them.

Someone's finally learning.

This is extortion, right? :roll:

Nothing that I didn't already know. I've never even met anyone in my 40+ years on this planet who would say something like you describe, yet you seem to throw it around like that's a big % of people in the US that is a real concern. It's not.

It reminds me of that ridiculous post (though again, not their fault) a little while ago here about, "Aren't you afraid of getting shot living every day in the United States?"

Freedom of Speech is so cucked, I've not believed in it for a long time as its abused by every side, right and left.

"Free Speech guarantees that you won't get prosecuted, unless what you say is (long list of conditions)".

I don't even disagree with prosecuting people who are making fun of Kirk's death. I think its a good thing, but the way it's being done I think feels so hypocritical, coming from the so-called Free Speech champions.

Might as well stop pretending and go Full Facist. I do not say that Mockingly or from an Antifa lens.

Come on guys, let’s take five from debating and just enjoy boycotting Disney together.

This thread isn't for discussing the Kimmel show, there's no threads here for it because no one in the technodrome cares about that show. It's a thinly veiled way to discuss politics in a different forum, likely because they have no one IRL who cares to hear about their rants. This thread should be locked.

What's this?

Kimmel to meet with Disney about the "future" of his show.

Probably "will you promise to knock it off?" Or something.
