Default Jimmy Kimmel Appreciation Thread

We lost a good one tonight. Hope he lands on his feet, always appreciated his humour.

I’m a man of free speech. Hope he starts a podcast, where a network can’t cancel him for his humour - be it true or false.

He’s gotta renounce the rapey ask licking though, if I’m being honest.

Kimmel will be remembered for guest host Brie Larson who will be remembered for a spectacular dress.

I don't think it's the end of Kimmel, the backlash ABC/Disney will get over this will be insane, I actually can see his show back in a week.

Join date, "Owning libs", knows who Jessica Flecher is and says he is she( trans much? ) joking of course.

This man has been in retirement far to long for his liking and thinks he's tech grandpa bro . Listen I'm super tech man incarnate. Not a bulb, computer, TV or fridge or bbq ( yes, I got smart everything) that I can't occupy my time manually doing hobbies that don't make me look like this. Take a min of the web. It's not that of amazing tech we'll maybe for you at your age. Like I weld , wood work, dying plumbing , dry wall . There is alot of manual tasks in retirement that would distract you from an online personality to fill your time. The effort to be I hate change and I'm going to post on that face is super sad . You don't have my empathy. That's too good for you you do have my sympathy tho . Empathy means I have to understand such sadness. Sympathy means I also can understand this but it's ####ing pathetic what your joining empathy is I understand this and I'm not judging you . Sympathy means I understand your postion but Im still 100 percent judging you still. That's what Charlie kirk would have wanted . You 100 percent have my sympathy for how your dealing with retirement.

Rapey ask licking 2 of the 3 words are in fact not actual words. Kinda like 2 out of 3 republicans have never gone to college.

Jimmy was happy to shine a spotlight on heavy music, and that's what I appreciates about him.

If it was just ABC's call, then sure. Nexstar and Sinclair are calling the shots, with Nexstar trying to suck up to the FCC to approve their merger, and Sinclair being Sinclair, they probably are dug in. I don't know if the show is viable without the affiliates or if ABC can force them to show them or what leverage they have.

Also it sounds like Kimmel may be trying to get out of his contract with ABC and may be the one to walk away.

Kimmel had already stated that this was basically his last contract and once Colbert was given notice, I don’t think he really gave a flying fuc.

ABC was definitely pressured to suspend the show. 23 stations already told them that they would preempt the show.

Yep, I’m really hoping a podcast comes out. Starting with Kimmel and then adding all the others as they get canceled.

It's a nice thought that they'll do a podcast, but how long before Trump and Co start demanding certain podcasts are removed from streaming platforms, lest those platforms face retaliation? And you know Tim Apple and Spotify will fold when the time comes.

Where is Joe Rogan and his band of bootlickers to stand up for comedy and freedom of speech? I'd call them clowns but clowns are harmless.

Are you going to start appreciation threads for every American news story? Can't we just have one dumpster fire thread for all this? LMAO
