After three days, Jimmy Kimmel rose up to the occasion, and he understood the assignment.
A week ago, Jimmy Kimmel Live was “preempted indefinitely” due to what is easily assumed to be pressure from an orange, thin-skinned man with a micro-stem.
His suspension was felt across the country as people debated what free speech and the First Amendment are, which some still don’t understand. But that is a whole other debate. And right now, America has a debating problem because people only want to hear their side and refuse to come to a middle ground.
However, yesterday, both sides went to YouTube after 11:35p EDT to hear what Kimmel said on his first night back from suspension. I would say they tuned into ABC, but Nexstar and Sinclair reportedly still need something from the FCC, so they are still not airing the late night talk show.
That is sad because their viewers missed out on a poignant monologue that was heartfelt at times, humorous at others, self-reflecting, honest, and uniting at others.
Plus, they didn’t get to see Robert De Niro do what that FCC wannabe tough guy wishes he could do. Only New Yorkers (and some people from Jersey) can threaten people without people knowing they are being threatened. He is from DC. He only knows how to threaten other politicians, and even they are like, “Girl, please.”
The other night on Late Night, Seth Meyers explained perfectly why donald trump is the butt of so many jokes. It is not because he is an ass, which he is. It is because, well, listen to what Seth (who I say is the best late night host currently on TV) has to say, and it will all make sense. So the only person hurting micro-stem is micro-stem, just like the only person touching his micro-stem is himself, because we know Melania ain’t Toad the Red Mushroom (thank you, Stormy Daniels, for the image) touching with an inch pole.
