Jimmy Kimmel returned Tuesday to his late show on ABC after a nearly week-long suspension.
The host delivered an emotional monologue defending free speech, but did not issue an apology.
Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group, owners of ABC affiliates, continue to keep “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off their stations.
May I ask why? Genuinely curious.
Maybe they are mixing him up with Jimmy Fallon? Kimmel is perfectly watchable based on the few times I saw him. Can’t stand fake Fallon though.
Same. Fallon is really tough to watch. He’s always shilling stuff on his show, too. That’s how it was years ago when I tried watching it, anyway.
I’m not mixing them up, I just don’t enjoy those kinds of late shows. Not my kind of thing. Though I don’t even know why I said that because it’s irrelevant to the point I was making, that the reasons for Kimmel’s suspension were blatantly political and nothing to do with ratings. It’s clear he’s got a large following.
To be perfectly honest with you, I’m not entirely certain on the difference between Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon. I didn’t care much for either of them, but now, Jimmy Kimmel is okay to me. That was a beautiful monologue.
He just isn’t that funny to me. No late night personality on right now has ever topped Conan for me.
A rarified palate is so often a curse.
I don’t care for either. I haven’t liked Kimmel since the days of The Man Show.
Lol, did you actually watch him on the man show? He hated that job, I could see it in his eyes. Corolla, on the other hand, is currently a conservative blogcaster. He needed to pay bills and work through the shit gigs to get where he is.
He’s really not bad, though I don’t watch the show often myself. I’m more a Colbert kinda guy. I’d love to see him restart the Colbert report, as he’s hinted… Or run for office… Or both.
I ignored Kimmel until he started to really promote universal healthcare after having scary medical problems with his child and coming to the realization that for many people, the care he was able to get for his child was out of reach for so many in this country.
After that I started watching him more and I think he seems like a fun and genuine person. He pushes the envelope more than I think most people would expect, but doesn’t come off like a know-it-all. I think most of his show bits are funny, and other celebrities really seem to like him and Guillermo, and I think his people on the street segments are more creative than a lot of other shows.
Anyone that hasn’t thought of him since Man Show are really not giving him a fair shot. That was like 20-25 years ago, he’s developed his own thing.
Extremely low effort and anything gaming related is painful to watch.
I find his delivery soulless. But I won’t stop anyone from watching it.
Gotta be confusing the Jimmys. Kimmel is the heir.
I think you spelled hair wrong
