That chart would look the same for every show on broadcast television though.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Alfonso Ribeiro has a podcast?!?

Got dang you! So right.on my oversight

 

[forever a gopher]

Kimmel used to be legitimately funny. What happened?

Spaulding might hunt me down seeking vengeance for this comment but Ribeiro makes Bob Saget look like a comedic genius.

Bob Saget was a very good comedian.

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

There were no Elaine’s waiting for you? How sad!

You needed to lower your standards, my friend. This song proves helpful during such dilemmas -

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​

It's too early to judge anything until the third keg is underway.

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.

I was hoping Matt Damon would be a guest tonight, but perhaps he will drop by.

My first time watching Kimmel's show and those folks missed out on one hell of a monologue. He absolutely humiliated and castrated Trump/Barr and even managed to get some jabs in at ABC/Disney.

The UN and Tylenol speech videos of Trump completely melting down left us in tears from laughter. I'm going right back to my avoidance of all things network TV but I'm curious what the ratings were for last night.

Nothing official yet, but looking "HUGE" so far.

Jimmy Kimmel’s Return Monologue on Way to Breaking Host’s YouTube Views Record

Kimmel's emotional and highly anticipated return to ABC is racking up views and should soon become the most popular 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' monologue on YouTube.

Never know, Leno got a huge bump from having Hugh Grant on his show shortly after his escapade. It started a long trend of ratings success.

I didn't laugh that hard and I disagree with his political bent, but I did appreciate his sympathy for Erica Kirk and her children. I do wish he had actually stopped, looked directly into the camera, and said "I am sorry for the joke my writers wrote and I stated. It was insensitive and not funny. I apologize and ask your forgiveness." That is the humble thing to do, and it puts the onus on others to forgive him, which is what all Christians are called to do.

Kimmel claimed to be a Christ follower. I would like to now see it in his actions.

Good work on you to add to Kimmel's ratings and/or Click-View total.

He's going to need them badly.

He's going to need them badly.

Be sure to tune in Thursday to ABC at 7 PM Central Time for the Season Finale of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Edit. Tomorrow, not today.

I sure was. Great writing, eloquent delivery, hilarious videos and sincere words for Kirk's wife and family. It was nearly a perfect extended monologue.

Thanks for your input.

Tears? Really?

 

[Slim Tubby]

Tears? Really?

You've never teared up while laughing hysterically? It seems to me you probably need to laugh more often. Try reading more of Trump's Truth Social posts while imagining they're coming from a 12 year old girl. That should do the trick.

I'm a Moderate Conservative and suffer no fools on either side of the political aisle. Just say what you really want to say to me. I'm not shy.

I have not found him funny in years, except a few skits. Your description is hilarious, but it seems you want to put it in the same category as Martin Luther King , JFK and Abraham Lincolns speeches. Just amazing for the whole world. Everything is now solved.
