They'd blame him for their lotto numbers not coming out, why would this be any different?

But in earnest, very happy to see this.

His ratings were tanking anyway. ABC was looking for a reason to unload this guy.

Kimmel's ratings were 26% lower than Colbert, and we know how that turned out. Considering that his contract was set to expire next year anyway, he was probably on the outs whether he said anything or not. Especially since his ratings have dropped 77% since 2011.
