Got to love Kimmel’s response to Trump:

Yea, sure...

it was revealed that it costs over $100 million annually to produce while losing over $40 million per year

Jimmy Kimmel’s Contract, Stephen Colbert And The Future Of Late Night

Jimmy Kimmel's contract with Disney is set to end in 2026, and its renewal or lapse will say something about the genre more generally.

...that the show loses upward of $20 million a year because his ratings have nose-dived in recent years, and ad revenues around the show have plummeted, people inside the company concede.

Jimmy Kimmel’s return to TV makes money for Disney — but at a big cost

Bob Iger has been the CEO of Disney, off and on now, for about 20 years now, but people around him say the toughest decision he’s had to make during his tenure was to unsuspend late-night star Jimm…

Kimmel is a boat anchor in a toilet bowl to Disney et al. The harder late-night talkers turn to the political Left, the harder their ratings and revenue falls. Few viewers want to hear Kimmel, or any other late-night talker, prattle on about Leftist politics unrelentingly. Kimmel's viewership was down about 70% prior to his firing, and his show was losing millions. His 'salary' wasn't worth it because he couldn't generate sufficient revenue for the show to break even, at a minimum.

That is the TV show, all late night TV shows lose money, all late night shows lose money, Kimmel’s value comes with on line streaming services, name recognition and advertising, stockholders sure think he is valuable

Did Disney lose $4B in market cap after suspending Jimmy Kimmel's show? What we know

The stock did not drop this much overnight, but it did fall this much, and more, over several days following the suspension.

He ain’t going anywhere, and if Disney wants to play hardball with the two affiliates, keep in mind, they own college football

He hasn’t exactly followed the Constitution so far, and with the GOP, SCOTUS, and the entire right wing media supporting anything he says or does, what makes you think they ever would?

Trump learned from Cohn, do whatever you like until someone makes you stop, I don’t see that someone anywhere on the right

What the GOP and "the entire right wing media says or does" is beside the point. However, when SCOTUS says something is Constitutional it is, at least until a different SCOTUS says it isn't. Even this SCOTUS will not say Trump is President in 2028 if he's not elected.

Again you are way more optimistic than me, keep in mind that this SCOTUS said Trump has near complete immunity, and till this day takes all his emergency requests and issues decisions without even explaining their reasoning.

Do not see that SCOTUS, three members who were approved with a majority vote and two other 100% partisan, ever being objective

 

[Libhater]

Ah, only because Trump via Carr forced ABC’s affiliates to do so and ABC momentarily submitted to his demand

Total bullshit, Trump had nothing to do with kimmel getting canned.

Yeah right, Nextstar pulled out on their own, they didn’t even need Carr’s “we can do this the easy way or the hard way”

I suppose you believe that it was Trump who got Colbert cancelled as well. Kimmel and Colbert were both losing tens of millions of dollars
from each of their networks. It always comes down to the money, and not someone's (Trump's) mere suggesting that both of them are
losers and anything but funny.

They're objective enough to know what an American President is, and they didn't say Trump has any immunity. They said a President has immunity. Have to say there is a tendency among those who oppose Trump, who even regard him has an ignorant blowhard, to nevertheless imagine him possessing superpowers.

 

[Into the Night]

He hasn’t exactly followed the Constitution so far,

Yes he has. DON'T TRY TO HIDE BEHIND THE CONSTITUTION YOU DESPISE!

and with the GOP, SCOTUS, and the entire right wing media supporting anything he says or does, what makes you think they ever would?

What 'right wing media' canceled Kimmel, anchovies?

Trump learned from Cohn, do whatever you like until someone makes you stop, I don’t see that someone anywhere on the right

 

[Into the Night]

Ah, only because Trump via Carr forced ABC’s affiliates to do so and ABC momentarily submitted to his demand

Neither Trump nor Carr canceled Kimmel, anchovies.
ABC did, due to pressure from advertisers, and later, affiliates.

Good luck convincing him. He's a conspiracy theorist.

Why is it valuable to lose money?

 

[Into the Night]

Yeah right, Nextstar pulled out on their own, they didn’t even need Carr’s “we can do this the easy way or the hard way”

That's right, anchovies. As far as Carr was concerned, it was 'the easy way'.

Heard that ever since Kimmel’s suspension, everything on late night TV loses money, but Kimmel’s value to Disney is via streaming, name recognition, and advertising, Disney lost over three billion during his suspension, and Newstar plus Sinclair have caved

 

[Matt Dillon]

Only show worth seeing Kimmel on is The Man Show, and he's not the reason to watch it.

Might kimmel wear his black face again if he does go on the Man Show?

[EdwinA]

you mentally challenged halfwit

Exactly. No point in pretending they can be reasoned with, they're just too dope addled and stupid.

 

[EdwinA]

If the MAGAdiots here at JPP are any indication, nationwide they'll applaud any move by trump to end democracy in America and turn the US into a christofascist theocracy.

It would be their ultimate fantasy come true.

Oh NOES !!! Xian NATZEES !!!!

 

[EdwinA]

I have 42 JPP MAGAts on ignore. They're evil hypocrites who need to become the first casualties if there is a second civil war.

lol more threats from the trannie eunuch. What a hoot.

Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame from this Jimmy...

You need a new watch. Kimmel's been famous since at least 1997.
