I copied his dance moves in college and the results were not well received until after we tapped the third keg.

As usual, the guys on the "All-In" podcast pretty much nail it here. ABC took advantage of an economic opportunity to get out of this contract now. Without question, the folks at ABC had been looking for a catalyst to make this happen and Kimmel just handed it to them.

If they didn't do this now, they wouldn't have been able to dump Kimmel for another year or two, when his contract was going to come up for renewal. The show sucks, the data tells you that without digging very deep. It's not like sponsors were lining up to buy advertising time on this guy's show.

So ABC and Disney are not out of the contract as your "All-In" crew suggested?

ABC ends Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and his show will return Tuesday​

Huh? You buying what Disney is selling here? Cancellations for all things Disney (Disney+, cruises, visits, etc.) surprised the monolith along with the overall negative feedback caused a side to capitulate here--and I'm pretty sure it wasn't Kimmel, although I guess the proof will be in the pudding to see how he returns.

Re: Kimmel's reach, beyond Nielsen numbers, Bill Simmons (a friend of Kimmel's) recent podcast that addressed his suspension spoke to the differences between Kimmel and Colbert-face of the network, online presence, etc. Simmons brought up an interesting point, that the networks used to have faces of the network-nightly news anchors, star actors, late night hosts, that we identified with those networks. That predominated probably through at least the '90s but now with everything splintered in the viewing/entertainment worlds, the reach of the networks is so much less and there are precious few faces of the networks anymore, but Kimmel is one-not just his late night show, but also the Oscars, and other stuff he does that's tied closely to ABC. To lose Kimmel, particularly under the whirlwind of negative blowback, would have carved a huge hole in the ABC brand.

The total overreaction was that Trump fired him.

That was the narrative the whole week here, sir!

You must not have been following along.

It does not appear Trump fired him

I would bet Trump believed that he fired Kimmel.
