The demise of disgraced ‘comedian’ Jimmy Kimmel may be premature, even after his defamatory statements regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the left-wing Kimmel told his late-night audience on Monday that a MAGA REPUBLICAN murdered Kirk and accused the right of trying to score political points off of it.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel claimed.
Nexstar later announced that all 32 of its ABC broadcast affiliates would preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely, blasting Kimmel’s sick comments about Kirk’s murder as “offensive and insensitive.”
Disney also pulled Kimmel’s show.
“Disney is pulling ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ “indefinitely, the company confirmed to Fox News Digital, Fox reported.
While this appeared to be the end of Kimmel, Disney is apparently having second thoughts. Variety reported on Friday that the company has entered talks to bring Kimmel back into the fold.
From Variety:
Jimmy Kimmel and Disney are working toward reaching a compromise that would allow “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to return to ABC.
The veteran host’s business and legal representatives are deep in discussions with Disney and ABC leaders in the hopes of finding a path to a compromise that would allow for the return of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” according to three people with knowledge of the situation.
There is no guarantee Kimmel and Disney will come to terms on agreement to return to the airwaves, these people cautioned. Nor is it clear where Kimmel’s mindset stands on what he would and would not accept from ABC as conditions of taking the stage again for “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
It’s understood that Kimmel is mindful of the effects a shutdown would have on dozens of his production staffers as well as vendors in Los Angeles who work on the show, according to one source with knowledge of the situation. The host is also aware some staff and crew members are still digging out of the financial hole created by the months-long writers and actors strikes in 2023.
The fact that discussions are happening cannot be welcome news to conservatives, as it would mean that slander could go largely unpunished.
