His comments weren’t particularly controversial; he was merely mocking the GOP. However, isn’t that precisely the essence of these shows: the left mocking the right, and vice versa?

The parent company is afraid of becoming a political target and is bowing under pressure by the government. That’s an attack on speech they don’t like.

Fuck, I said I didn’t want to talk about politics and here I go.

I think also the companies are a little bit fed up with late shows, cost a lot and today the backlash is way bigger than the flowers, Seth Meyers should be worried

I haven’t watched late night television in forever. It’s epic normie world full of self-congratulatory celebrities. I can’t stand any of it.

Yeah, I don’t really think a lot of people watch these shows anymore. Other than whatever clips seep to the interwebs.

Paying as much as they pay for a 50k views on YouTube of the monologue ain't working, companies are using excuses to cut costs in my view

Interesting g take.

I too havent watched late night TV in a long time but I wouldnt put it past them to use Kirk as the reason to pull Kimmel because they wanted to get rid of him or to pull a stunt to remind people that their show still exists.

who knows.

This is a discussion about basic rights. I think that gets a pass.

Oh don’t you get it, TKay? Nobody is allowed to bomb at jokes anymore. That’s basically terrorism!

That wasn’t a joke, that was deliberate misinformation to score political points. He was pulled off after local affiliates refused to air it not because of Disney’s decision.

Sounds like Kimmel got in trouble for speaking the truth. Ironic.
