A staffer of Jimmy Kimmel’s diminished team is raising concerns regarding the likelihood that his employer will ever see his late-night show return to the airwaves.
The staffer, who spoke anonymously, criticized President Donald Trump and “MAGA a**hats” for removing Kimmel after the late-night host falsely claimed that the suspect who killed Charlie Kirk was a Trump supporter.
ABC “indefinitely” suspended Kimmel’s program due to the tone-deaf and manifestly false assertion, and the staffer recently stated that any future course of action is uncertain, if not untenable.
“I want to think it will. But I can’t imagine a scenario in which that happens. Even if Jimmy was willing to publicly apologize and donate money to whatever ghoulish conservative group that is demanding it… MAGA people will never be happy. It will never be enough,” they told Rick Ellis for his “Too Much TV” newsletter.
Kimmel has been off the air since Wednesday, when Disney’s head honchos pulled the plug.
“And Disney will look at the situation and decide it’s cheaper to buy out the rest of his contract and replace the show with reruns of Modern Family and Judge Judy. Somehow, they’ll convince themselves the worst is behind them. Until a day or two pass, and they find themselves having to defend Whoopi and the other women of The View. And no one wants to be in that position,” the staffer continued.
