I think Gutfeld! is doing okay.
Was Kimmel a sacrificial lamb to drum up outrage for the left?

'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' pulled off the air: What Nexstar, the FCC and the state of local TV have to do with it
Jimmy Kimmel's talk show was pulled off ABC "indefinitely" following comments he made on his show about the Charlie Kirk shooting.
And the FCC is involved when affiliates stations are involved.

May have , we don’t know, maybe a government official should have shut his mouth.
Actually, your "whataboutism" is the same desperate attempt to justify the FCC targeting ABC as the cult members saying Kimmel was fired for low ratings.
So, yea, you are part of the problem.

Yup, that's why Colbert already got the hook, and I'll bet Fallon is next.
They suck and no one is watching.

You have one FCC commissioner. There are two others.

Dumbass, I am against censoring free speech. I wrote this post, and you thanked me for it.
The FCC commissioner Carr said, “Frankly, when you see stuff like this — I mean, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, these companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC. ahead.”
ABC responded to the pressure, just like social media responded to Biden pressure. Just because one side does it doesn’t mean the other side should do it. What if one day the government decides your speech is bad for America, then what, this is dangerous waters.
Again you are part of the problem, you are a partisan and I believe in free speech, please remove your thanks from my post, I find it repulsive and insincere.

Lefties calling for boycott against Disney --
Perfection. Simply perfect.
This is very symbolic of how the left are. You step out of line, just once - we hate you.
Doesn't matter that Disney has been such a strong partner to the left. Doesn't matter that they consistently followed woke messaging probably more than anyone else - despite economic pain.
They take one step away from left - and BAM!!!! --- we hate you.

Not one major network has Conservative talk shows. Conservative comedians doing what the Progs do. Smearing and demonizing the other side. There are more Prog dominated TV shows from the major networks that need to take a hike. Myers and the View need to go.

Fallon isn't as bad as Kimmel, Colbert and Myers.

He was let go because Nexstar is trying to get the FCC to change a rule barring them from owning 80% of the TV market in which they would if a merger went through with another company. FCC currently allows only one company having about 20-30% of the market. If the deal gets approved Nexstar got what they wanted as well as FCC and trumplings.
Now, on to your left outrage. Got news for you there is about the same as right outrage and you better do research.
Tucker Carlson one of them.

Kimmel was no longer a comedian but turned politica;. That is why he lost his audience.
To Disney it was strictly a business after his biased and un-comedic spew on the death of Charlie Kirk...
Democrats Hold Candlelight Vigils For Jimmy Kimmel
Democrats Hold Candlelight Vigils For Jimmy Kimmel
LOS ANGELES, CA — Democrats gathered together outside the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, bearing candles and saying silent prayers on behalf of Jimmy Kimmel, whose show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, was placed on hold indefinitely.

Democrats gathered together outside the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, bearing candles and saying silent prayers on behalf of Jimmy Kimmel, whose show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, was placed on hold indefinitely.
"So this is how Democracy dies," one attendee was heard saying. "America will never recover from this."
Jimmy Kimmel's show was pulled from the air after he made a blatantly false statement about the murder of Charlie Kirk, where he suggested MAGA republicans were "desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it." Unfortunately for Kimmel, the political points he scored from the comment and his unsuccessful attempts to make people laugh were not enough to keep his show on the air.
The main point being unsuccessful attempts to make people laugh.

At last some real pushback against the left’s slander culture
19 Sep 2025 ~~ By Robert ZimmermanFor years I have been writing about the slander culture of the left, whereby they can say any lie about anyone who disagrees with them without any consequence. These lies are often pure slander and defamation, based on no facts. Often they grow to a point that anyone attacked in this manner becomes a persona non grata, ostracized by all society out of fear.
Meanwhile, this lying name-calling never seemed to carry any consequences. Big name Democratic Party politicians, celebrities, and leftist pundits could defame conservatives routinely in the same manner and get away with it. The only ones who would suffer would be the unjustly accused.
The events in the past two days in connection with former host Jimmy Kimmel of Jimmy Kimmel Live! however tells me that the murder of Charlie Kirk has truly changed things.
First, a summary of what happened. Kimmel during his show’s opening monologue on September 15, 2025 blatantly lied, claiming that Kirk’s murderer was a conservative and part of Trump’s MAGA movement. Not only was this statement fundamentally untrue, based all the available evidence, it was an evil slander against the millions of people who voted for Donald Trump.
The uproar against Kimmel was immediate and gigantic. Within hours local affiliates told ABC they would not air Jimmy Kimmel Live!. FCC chairman Brendan Carr said that if ABC did not take action to publicly correct the record its FCC license could be revoked
It is important to point out that Kimmel did not lose his job because of government action — though that action was threatened. He got fired because numerous ABC affiliate stations told the network that they would no longer air his show. These local stations decided they had had enough of this slander culture. It had to stop.
~Snip~
We have seen a similar firm response to the thousands of leftists who posted videos celebrating gleefully the murder of Kirk, with almost all who have been identified now fired or facing serious personal consequences. Employers are no longer willing to tolerate such behavior from their workers. You act like a vicious fool who supports murder for political purposes, you can find another place to work.
Kimmel’s firing however raises this response to a whole new level. The TikTok influencers who have been fired were also unknown, with little power. Kimmel however was a big name hosting the major late night show on television. His quick removal signals that cultural shift quite starkly.
The left is no longer going to get away with slander and lies. It must now recognize that there will be consequences for such misbehavior. Kirk’s death was the final blow. Americans of all stripes and political beliefs just aren’t going to stand by and tolerate this evil any longer.
Finally, good men are no longer doing nothing.
Commentary:
Next on the 'To Do List' is Academia and Education...
Meanwhile, America is going in the correct general direction:
“An immigration judge ordered alleged Hamas sympathizer Mahmoud Khalil deported from the U.S. for failing to disclose certain information on his green card application.
Judge Jamee Comans ordered Khalil deported to Algeria or Syria, finding that he “willfully misrepresented” details on his green card application to circumvent the immigration process, according to court documents filed on Wednesday.”
Stay tuned as the Democrat party machine continues to unravel and self-destruct.
Who will save them from themselves? No credible human being exists at this time, and it does not look like they will be showing up any time soon.

No, in order for that to work Kimmel would need a huge following of his own to jump to. He and the other left wingers don’t have that. Without the media corporations hoisting them up they have no audience at all.
