Bird-Hands Swarm: Flabby Fat Failure Jimmy Kimmel Flaps His Dick-Sucker and Shakes His Manboobs In Anger About His Own Impending Firing

And we're not done. The firing of Stephen Colbert makes it more likely the fat sack of anger and erectile dysfunction Jimmy Kimmel also be fired. Iger can't keep telling shareholders he's losing $35 million per year (or whatever) just for the sake of anti-Trump propaganda.

And of course we've already heard that Kimmel's contract is up next year and no one at ABC is rushing to re-sign him.

So now he's sniping at CBS.

Jimmy Kimmel cursed out CBS this week after the network cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The decision, described by the network as a "purely financial" one amid the ongoing Paramount-Skydance merger, has drawn sharp criticism from Kimmel, who didn't mince words in his public rebuke of CBS.

Kimmel, host of Disney ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, took to Instagram Stories shortly after Colbert's emotional on-air announcement, sharing a clip of his colleague breaking the news to viewers.
"Love you Stephen. F*** you and all your Sheldons CBS," Kimmel wrote, referencing the network's long-running sitcoms The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon as a jab at the network's programming priorities.
The blunt message quickly went viral, with celebrities like Adam Scott, Judd Apatow, and Katie Couric echoing support for Colbert while amplifying Kimmel's frustration.

Katie Couric is a celebrity?

What century was this article written in?

Paramount says the decision is "purely financial."

Boy they're not kidding.

CBS lost $40 million on Colbert's show this year alone.

Sources inside CBS have suddenly become much more forthcoming about the sobering economics of late-night television in 2025--go figure-- revealing that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has recently been running at an annual shortfall of $40 million.
If that sounds unthinkable for the #1 rated show at 11:35pm, consider this: as Matt Belloni reports today in Puck, back in 2018, all of late-night television combined generated $438 million in advertising revenue. By 2023, that number had been cut in half, and it has continued to fall.
Given that The Late Show--with its handsomely paid host and a staff of roughly 200 employees--reportedly costs CBS $100 million per year to produce, that $40 million figure becomes easier to understand.
Belloni also reports that CBS executives had been discussing the future of its Late Show franchise for months, and that Colbert's team was informed around July Fourth that the show was in jeopardy.

Ah. As I suspected: Colbert "got brave" on July 7th and denounced his network only after the network told him they were cancelling his Regime "Comedy" propaganda hour.

("Regime Comedy" was used by Ed Morrissey in his post.)

$40 million lost in a single year. And yet the left is OUTRAGED that one of their money-losing propagandists is losing his job.

Simpering fembots like Chris L. Hayes (an Allahpundit fave) are crying that firing their shareholder-value-destroying, no-advertisers-want-to-touch-them TV clowns means that Democracy Is Dying In Darkness.

Oh?

You mean like this guy? pic.twitter.com/Bs9lZaC2AF

Skip to 5:00 if you want to see Stephen Colbert's Regime "Comedy" in the past year.

How much money do you think the even-worse-rated Kimmel is costing ABC's beleagured, abused shareholders?

Regime "Comedy" is over.

#ResistanceMedia is going bankrupt.

Regime Comms are being turned off, one by one.

It's all coming crashing down, and I couldn't be happier.

All of these talentless, hateful cunts are bad memories of a wretched age -- the age of covid and conspiracies -- that most normies want to forget.

42 If it seems Kimmel is about to be fired, I 100% expect that he'll again use his son as a human shield, and claim he needs to take time off to care for him, hoping that he'll garner some sympathy and not get fired.

As for all these late night shows, especially Colbert, they don't even try to hide their partisanship anymore. Why is a late night comedy show, meant basically as an advertisement for movie studios, constantly bringing on Democrat politicans? It's nothing but political laundering that should be subject to campaign finance laws.

Id like one of these shows to be replaced with a weekly Jools Holland type show, but we know it'd turn in to just 1 shitty pop act, instead of the eclectic mix he always had on.

They just seem to be doing it by firing their television and newspaper personalities so they can begin their fall back podcasts and never forming plans to dominate talk radio.

How are Colbert and Kimmel going to keep their edges on their inevitable podcasts when they aren't handed a staff of joke-writers and researchers? I think we saw the result once when there was a writers' strike, and Colbert suddenly assumed the liveliness of a turnip.

98 I haven't watched late night television in probably 15 years at least. My kids never have. Who was still watching it? Obviously, not very many people. Cutting dead weight and blaming Trump is pretty on brand.

99 Johnny Carson was considered the king of the late-night TV talk hosts. He'd started earlier than most (1962) and had a good thirty-year run. He also was funny and apolitical, as in he'd bash both sides of the political aisle equally. He also had interesting guests on, celebrities who were more entertaining than merely plugging their latest movie, and "real people" who had done something noteworthy. He knew how to make his guests look good.

Still, I loved Merv Griffin's early Westinghouse-sponsored syndicated talk show in '66 and '67. It was held in a small theatre with a small audience, and somehow you felt as if you belonged there, that you'd stumbled across a great place to hang out. Rodney Dangerfield appeared there, as did an early (and clean) Richard Pryor, and there were oddball New York actors and celebs like Joanne Worley, later to be famous on Laugh-In.

The networks should start the old midnight test pattern and National Anthem at 10pm. Who is watching? My MIL is really dead. My own mother is in bed.

Seriously, who on earth watches this crap?

I barely watch anything. We watch stuff after dinner, mostly to make up our own dialogue and make fun of whatever sad series we find ourselves watching.

I think the last series I loved was...I can't remember! Oh...Dark Winds.

The last two series have been ED stuff and I like to diagnose to keep my skills sharp, and critque all the bullsheet needle sticks. The IV starts are pitiful. Is there no one there to tell them? And the CPR...sometimes on the thoat. Or a good cut down for a tracheotomy. It is so pitiful. Then the "love story" bleah. My husband mostly thinks the star girls are fugly, so we go through that. Or, if they sigh a lot it drives him insane. This is our entertainment vs late night. We find ourselves much more fun.

We watch some stuff til it is gone, like NCIS. I can't say it made us jump for joy like Mags on Justified. I loved her. And Longmire.

Random movies. Sometimes we give up and do other things.

It makes me wonder why that Ellison kid who bought Paramount is even bothering with a fix-it plan for CBS News. I just looked at the CBS primetime schedule and I'm at a loss. About 4 flavors of NCIS (including Sydney -- as in Australia??), Matlock now starring Kathy Bates apparently, two flavors of FBI, Watson -- which is a show about Dr. Watson out on his own six months after Sherlock Holmes's death, except it's current day and Dr. Watson is Black.

Conan O'Brien has made the transition and now has more subscribers than he had viewers even at the height of his career.

But it's not easy, Stewart tried it and failed miserably, and I don't see anyone subscribing to the Jimis or Colbert.

Truth
Craig also loves America, unlike the other Late Night losers

Indeed. Became a US Citizen (also Scots...now back in Scotland after buying his second castle...sold the first, lads). He is hilarious.

I adore him. His accent alone would have me interested. His sparkly eyes and humor do it, too. I love him. He's third on my list after my husband and Mel Gibson.

Ferguson has tatooed on one forearm a snake divided into 13 pieces with 'LIVE FREE OR DIE'. He's proud of that tat. Saw him show it off on his show once.

Fast forward is your friend...watch something else and get a bit ahead of the cast...then go back to the cast and skip the bad parts.

263 Real comedians do standup, roast anyone and everyone, make shit for $, and improv with their audience.

I liked the world tour comedy special that Jeff Dunham did - the guy with the I Keel You! Ahmed the Undead terrorist puppet, especially when he went to Myanmar and The Middle East. He has the biggest balls in the world.

265 I've been watching the Darryl Cooper/Tucker discussion of Epstein that just dropped.

Cooper is giving a James Burke/Connections level dissertation on Epstein's life.

Weird random fact:

Donald Barr, Bill Barr's dad, who gave college drop out Epstein his first job, worked for the OSS and in his spare time would right lurid novels about Alien's who would abduct humans as sex slaves.

Someone said that suggesting Epstein worked for Mossad was anti-Semitic.
That's like saying Epstein working for CIA is anti-American.

It's been awhile since I've seen it so I'd definitely say Yay.

I used to have it on the DVR but they had to replace that unit and I lost everything, a few times.

280 Look, let me fix this for CBS.

Step 1 - shitcan all your late-night comedy.

Step 2- go on you tube and find 100 of the funniest creators.

Step 3 - Give them each $1 million per year, to generate 1/2 hour of exclusive content per week. That is 50 hours of content per week, 2600 hours per year.

Step 4 - Basically, you have an infinitude of shows to show your audience. 10PM to 1 AM. Every night. You pick the best six 1/2-hour comedy shows.

Step 5 - You adjust what hits with what doesn't hit. Drop the losers, recruit new shows.

I promise you'll make a LOT more money at a LOT lower cost.
