Trump Celebrates End Of Jimmy Kimmel Show, Targets Other Hosts
President Donald Trump expressed his approval of ABC’s decision to cancel Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show while also criticizing two hosts on NBC. In a post on Truth Social, Trump praised ABC for taking action against Kimmel, stating that Kimmel lacked talent and had poor ratings compared to other late-night hosts. He also called out Jimmy and Seth from NBC, referring to them as “total losers” with terrible ratings. Trump’s message to NBC was clear: “Do it NBC!!! President DJT.”
ABC’s move to pull Kimmel’s show came after backlash from conservatives over Kimmel’s comments about the shooting death of Charlie Kirk. This controversy prompted FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who is aligned with Trump, to pressure ABC and Disney to address Kimmel’s remarks or face potential consequences for individual TV stations.
Kimmel defended his statements on his show, highlighting the attempts by some to politicize Kirk’s death. He emphasized the importance of grieving amidst the finger-pointing that ensued.
