What Everyone Missed About ABC Cancelling Jimmy Kimmel!

The Jimmy Dore Show - A podcast by Jimmy Dore

Categories:

Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show has been suspended after the host joked about Charlie Kirk’s killer, sparking FCC criticism and ABC’s abrupt decision to pull the show.  Guest host James Li and Jimmy discuss how the controversy highlights hypocrisy: Kimmel wasn’t punished for past remarks about the unvaccinated but is now targeted over politically charged comments. They note the absurdity of the FCC floating “remedies” against a comedian while mainstream media outlets routinely spread misinformation without consequence. Ultimately, Jimmy frames the episode as corporate-driven censorship, fueled by ratings decline and political weaponization, while pointing out how both parties exploit “free speech” arguments only when convenient. Plus segments on moves afoot to hand control of TikTok over to Israel and the televised shouting match between Destiny and Piers Morgan over Charlie Kirk’s death. Also featuring Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence show!
