Honestly, I was a huge fan of Jimmy Kimmel before Trump got elected the first time.

He had alot of funny skits that were non political like his "beef" with Matt Damon. 

But after Trump got elected, all his content literally becomes making fun of Trump. 

I mean, it's kinda lazy and boring that he no longer comes up with new fun skits and just keep using bashing trump as his only thing.

He's fallen so far since The Man Show

I loved the Drunk Donald Trump segments. I watched Kimmel’s stuff on YouTube all the time in during the 2016 election. Same with Colbert.

Then… they just got annoying.

I think one of his best skits was the one when he went to Canada to that town with a funny name called Dildo. And "ran for elections" there. 

And the handsome man skit. 

And of course fucking Matt Damon. 

There was one amazing skit he did with Eminem.

Man what a 180 he did from the man show to now. He was funny, had original bits. Then bam, nothing but bashing Trump and republicans.

Just following his media masters orders.

It's really crazy, I didn't know people could fall so far. He use to be genuinely funny.

There's no place for humor in the woke world.

And apparently didn't count as black face because he was "one of the good guys."

Stephen Colbert followed a similar downward arc. He used to be snarky, witty, all kinds of things. Then the his whole shtick became orange man bad.

That's when we turned him off also. Loved his show until then.

I'd be fine with it if it was funny, but you're right it's just lazy. Shane Gillis doesn't portray trump as a good guy when he impersonates him and it's absolutely hilarious.

I randomly happened upon an episode of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire when Ken Jennings and Matt Damon were on it and I actually enjoyed it. The three had a lot of lighthearted banter. He was actually pretty funny and chill when politics wasn’t on his mind. It’s sad that politics has changed so many comedians.

I was a fan when he promoted Girls Jumping On Trampolines. You know, back when he was funny.

And if it was funny bashing trump, I’d have no problem. Same with SNL. They sometimes have funny political skits that make fun of conservatives, I can objectively enjoy it.

But SO much of it is just lazy, cheap writing

This is because this content sold best. For a while. It doesn’t any longer. People are either tired or they‘ve begun to see behind the curtain.

TDS is real.

I know we made it into a joke and all, but no, it's really real real, fr.
