Should be fun to see that first monologue. I hope he roasts the shit out of them all for all their stupidity.

"I'd like yo thank my fans for costing the mouse more than trumps bribe would have"
I have very little faith in our liberal late night hosts in shaking the boat very much.
I mean, he never even said anything actually controversial in the first place.
I hope I'm wrong, I hope the first thing he says is "Fuck Trump the Fascist! Retake the white house! End the genocide in Gaza!" and then gets turned off immediately, because he's going to have a LOT of people watching him. He has an opportunity to say something shocking and lasting and he will still retire with wealth and respect.
But I am not holding my breath.
Exactly, his comments where really tame and had less to do with Charlie Kirk and more to do with MAGA then anything.
"His Tuesday night monologue is expected to be critical of President Donald Trump, CNN's Brian Stelter reported."
Hard-hitting journalism from CNN there...
"We further expect the sun will be down on Tuesday night, making the sky dark. There is also a strong possibility it will be raining somewhere on planet Earth at the time."
Hahaha they caved. Disney’s more afraid of the shareholders than they are of the FCC. Suck it, Trump!
Down with MAGA!
I hope it's a fucking carpet bombing of a monologue.
Well this should chap taco's ass. Hope Jimmy doesn't give one cent to them either! Or maybe just 2cents. That is a donation of meaning...
I'm going to continue my boycott until Iger & the board are replaced.
Same.
I’m boycotting until they reveal what’s under the half court in the Matterhorn.
I worry Mr Kimmel will have to make a big apology and sign some self-gag order, just to his team and crew can work.
It'll become super milquetoasty for a painful partial season before it dies of ratings.
I couldn't see Kimmel doing that at all.
If we see Kimmel dong during the episode, at least he will get fired for a legit reason
🤣
I’d hope he’d just quit before doing that.
He should gild the stage like Stewart did. In fact all the late night hosts should just become parody Trump propaganda shows. I honestly think that would increase all their ratings and maximally piss Trump off.
I don't know if he would get the joke
If he doesn't take a giant shit on Trump's face for his return show then this is all a farce
He should have told them to fuck off then do a barnstorming tour like Conan
I get why he did what he did
He...himself is rich he's fine he knows this. Fuck part of me thinks a tiny little piece of him might have enjoyed the time off....and almost wished it'd last a bit longer who the hell knows.
However he knows he has staff that need the income from that job in order to provide for their families.
Conan paid his staff out of his own pocket during Covid. But it got no press. If Kimmel has the means he could send a powerful message.
Said this exact same thing the other day in a comment around here.
Everyone should go watch John Oliver’s last show about this. I got chills when he said his last line. I won’t ruin it if you haven’t seen it.
...I don't see an apology included, so it sounds like Disney+ stays cancelled
An apology isn't good enough. The fascist-complying execs have to be fired.
I can't wait to see the meltdown on Truth Social.
(By the way, don't give that cesspool any traffic. Use https://www.trumpstruth.org/ instead.)
Cyber bullying works! Voting with your wallet works! Fuck the mouse!
The latter more than the former I think.
I'm gonna start pirating his show, methinks.
Just watch YT clips. It helps the show more directly than watching over OTA.
Good point! And there's always yt-dlp if I want a copy.
I wonder if this means Nextstar is going to air it. Or if they will continue blocking it on their channels.
Fuck'em. They have nothing to replace it with, and their viewers will cease.
Good to see for Jimmy.
So, I guess not indefinitely then?
Indefinitely can be defined as infinite/forever or unknown/unspecified.
Well, by definition, indefinitely mean a timeline that is not defined. It could have been indefinitely and back on the air later that night and still have been 'indefinitely' if that hadn't been decided beforehand.
So Disney backed down but FCC is still there. Will actually try to take away ABC's license?
They actually can't do that.
I hope he roasts them and ditches them at end of contract. If they bend this easy, they shall again.
I still wouldnt be watching. I'll just watch a YouTube clip that's uploaded by a third party not affiliated with Disney.
Disney let their mask slip. Kimmel returning is a joke and goes to show that he is doing this purely for the money. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't return and do a Conan-esque travel show. Let Disney swim in their pile of shit and have entertainers distance themselves from a fascist company.
Everything every corporation does is purely for money.
They make more money if you watch the YT clips anyway. It's good for them, so keep it up.
"Shock reversal". Ehhhhhhhh, nah, we have brains and eyes lmao
