  1. There are a couple of articles online (Vulture? mag) explaining that Jimmy Kimmel’s show “couldn’t” be losing $40 million per year. I didn’t click on it, others on X/Twitter have repeated this figure.

    It seems a lot to lose each year, and compounded by the past 4 years trend of late night shows losing 1/2 their audience. Jimmy had about 160k viewers per show, which for a “national late nite show” seems to be about as many as who used to watch CTV late news in Calgary. Not the nation, just one city.
    Perhaps the network carrying the Jimmy Kimmel Show’s accumulating debt should mention this so the 160k national audience doesn’t lose their minds, or “take up arms” like they have against people who question their ethics.

    If I’d invested in this network, I’d have some questions. (I would also be questioning my sanity for investing in network Tv but that’s another issue).

  2. How many more decades are conservatives expected to listen to liberal Democrats defame them and lie about them?
    Hard truth: There is far more evidence that Joe Biden and Bill Clinton are rapists than there is that every conservative in the US is a fascist.

  4. This whole “Jimmy is a victim of the Right’s Cancel Culture” is so bogus.
    First of all, this is not censorship. The Trump administration did not like Kimmel, but they had nothing to do with canceling Jimmy.
    Censorship is when the gov’t tells what should be shared or suppressed (like the Biden administration did)
    But this was not gov’t censorship.
    This was strictly a business decision.
    The network has every right to decide on their own what shows they want to offer the public.
    Kimmel was losing money. What company wants to sustain that?
    Kimmel had alienated over half the country, and his recent statements had alienated many more.
    He has the legal right to say pretty much anything in the Uof S, even asinine things.
    But the parent network does not have to spend money on him – he can speak his mind on his own dime.
    Since when do lefties get to dictate what any company HAS to lose money on?
    Welcome to the reality of the entertainment business – 2 words. Don’t forget the Business part.

    1. when more watch the jimmy show when it shows up on the late nite NEWS, then watch it when its on its ‘own’, well, meh, ‘do the math’
      never watch a single episode. prob not more than 5 minutes tops if a performer or guest interested me, most of the time l flipped past it on the dial.

    2. Dear Mayor of mudertown … we just haven’t done law enforcement right. You know … just like you haven’t done Socialism right. We haven’t actually passed sentence on the criminals … we let them all out far earlier than their sentence. We call it rehabilitation… but no criminal is ever rehabilitated.
