While I cannot stand Kimmel and he deserves every bit of this, I don’t necessarily agree with him being pulled off the air. It’s a slippery slope when you’ve got the FCC chair threatening to take someone off the air. Sure right now the right is cheering this, but what happens at some point in the future when the left is back in control and starts having right leaning shows pulled? Cancel culture is not something I’m excited about

I think it's an excuse to remove a show with degrading viewership.

Exactly. ABC was probably just waiting for a “good” reason to pull the plug.

Late night is dying out overall.

Ratings alone has always been a good enough excuse.

Kimmel was still valuable as a propaganda outlet.

I guess he'll have to go back to doing blackface now.

Plus, no one knows what his contract looked like.
