A quarter of a century ago, Jimmy Kimmel was a fat, drunken, racist slob, and everybody thought he was funny. (Well, everybody except feminists, but they don’t think anyone is funny.) Now he’s slimmed down, sobered up, and woke, and he’s getting clobbered every night in the ratings by the show I write for, on a network available in one-third as many homes as ABC.
I realize I’m biased, but the market agrees with me: Jimmy Kimmel stinks.
You already know most of the late-night comedians no longer think of themselves as comedians, which is why you don’t watch them anymore. You’re tired of getting scolded every night for disagreeing with any Democrat, anywhere, ever. You know they all hate Trump — and you might even agree with them, just a little — but it’s been 10 years now and they’re still doing the same old crap. Yes, Orange Man Bad, we get it.
All this #Resistance on national TV has done nothing to stop him. Arguably, it only helps him. Yet they keep doing it, even as their audience gets smaller and smaller by the week.
Can you guess whose fault it is? I’ll bet you can!
