ABC’s censorship of Jimmy Kimmel appears to be a step too far for the comedian to handle.
For over 20 years, he’s been the network’s main attraction late at night with Jimmy Kimmel Live, but that may not be for much longer. Jimmy is one of many late-night hosts to speak out about the Charlie Kirk assassination, which has divided many Americans. The comedian was suspended by ABC this week for his reaction to the tragedy.
The TV host is not taking the decision well. A source states that he intends to “break his relationship with ABC forever.”
Tensions are extremely high between the two sides and have now reached a boiling point.
Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension is the “last straw” for the TV host
It would be an understatement to say Jimmy is livid with the network over his suspension.
Sources have told the Daily Mail that “Jimmy is pissed over the decision to suspend him and the show, and he isn’t going to take this lightly, as he is actively looking for ways to get out of his contract.” The source added “this is the last straw,” for the comedian.
Following Charlie’s death, Jimmy said: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”
Jimmy’s influence could discourage many celebrities from appearing on ABC shows. A source suggested he’ll get plenty of his Hollywood friends to decline being a guest on ABC programs like The View. Additionally, he plans to collaborate on future work with fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert.
The current administration is not a fan of either men, praising ABC’s suspension of Kimmel and saying, “Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy (Fallon) and Seth (Meyers), two total losers.”
Sources say Jimmy is preparing to appear as a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, before his program goes off the air for good.
