Turns out when you suck, both in job performance and as a human, it may not work out for you. Should have happened long ago.

Would love to see Adam Carolla take over Kimmel's slot.

If anyone here thinks any other comedian doing these shows is going to lay off Trump, Maga, AOC, MGT, Ice Barbie, Hunter, Blowbert, or even Rosie O'Donnell, is retarded.  So what if MAGA got it's feeling hurt, (see Hurt Feeling report) because Jimmy said the shooter was one of their own.   Next week he would have said something about Whoopi or Vance, or Putin.

This was all about kissing the fake king ring to get their deal stamped by the govt.  Same as ABC settling with Trump... needed that deal.  Same shit as it's ever been, appease the govt to get what you want.

Kimmel ain't going away.  HBO has Oliver and Maher, Stewart still active, so Showtime can use a show, not to mention Hulu, etc.  My bet is Kimmel goes for the crucifix look and plays the persecuted messiah.

PS, looking forward to more South Park.  The irony, Ice Babs and T get pissed, Kirk laughed and found it funny.

This was a business decision. If one of your employees is saying or doing things that may hurt your business in one or more ways, you have every right to fire them. Jimmy Kimmel is a POS leftist elite, but he wasn’t fired directly for that, he was fired for being a threat to the success of the business based on his unacceptable rhetoric to the majority (and his ratings were declining). This is in no way a 1A violation, but rather we’re finally seeing consequences for people’s words/actions. He and everyone else is welcome to say horrible things and be a total POS without fear of gov persecution, but they will also be free to reap the consequences of those words dealt out by employers, individuals, etc.

All depends on the political winds. Didn't ABC fire Roseanne Barr?

They did. Political winds are a factor for sure, but ultimately root cause is “just business.” The market will do what the consumer dictates.

The FCC involvement in Kimmel getting fired is concerning. I'm not sure if that was what pushed everything over the edge, but it was a completely unnecessary interjection, and it is contrary to any conservative conception of what the government should be doing. 

I suspect ABC was just looking for a reason to cancel yet another of the dying-breed late night shows, but now because the FCC had to open his big stupid mouth, he turned to win into a a gaff.

 

Also, I don't care how stupid the left is, and they are really stupid, if you are in a position of power in the government you should not be responding to journalists with memes

Agreed.  You can tell each cabinet position or govt head is just looking for ways to get an attaboy from the new big guy.  It's pretty disgusting

On that note, Pam Bondi - she is wildly off base and needs to get fired immediately. Biggest disappointment of all the major nominees.
