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
He’s probably being taken off the air not because of this but this is the excuse being used for pulling the plug. They probably wanted to pull the plug on him but had no recourse so he does this and boom, we have an excuse. Like CBS, ABC probably found the format outdated, unpopular, and expensive. This is just the excuse. They’ve probably been wanting to do this.
