Disney/Randy Holmes
donald trump is doing everything in his power to get Jimmy Kimmel fired, like he most likely did to Stephen Colbert. But it didn’t work.
Bloomberg is reporting that Kimmel signed on to host Jimmy Kimmel Live for another year. In fact, this decision was made months ago, but they delayed the announcement due to Colbert’s contract not being renewed.
Kimmel was suspended in September for comments that were misunderstood about Charlie Kirk. Disney felt pressure from the FCC, the right-wing station group affiliates, and Karens to do so, so they did.
Kimmel’s renewal is important because next season, only he, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers will have late night talk shows on broadcast television. Late night has taken a ratings hit in recent years, so its fate is in question. But then again, that has been said about Soap Operas and sitcoms, and they are still around.
UPDATE: Jimmy Kimmel confirmed the news by saying, “I am pleased to announce another no-talent year!”
