        The two big affiliate companies refused to air it on TV.

                It was a little behind the scenes.

                They’re trying to get the right to own a higher percentage of local syndicate markets than is legal.

                Edit: That article doesn’t really get into it but Nextsar was the first to take Kimmel off the air before dit was ABC-wide.

        A few distributors (Sinclair, namely) refused because they’re malicious

        Basically the whole thing, minus commercials, is on their Youtube account.

        https://youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY

        I’m sure there are individual clips from like ABC and random individuals uploading as well.

    I laughed my ass off at the bit where he plays the Trump clip saying “Kimmel was fired because he had no ratings”, and Kimmel: “I do now.”

    Fucking comedy gold.

      Attempting to do something, failing spectacularly, then taking credit for it anyway is completely on-brand for him

    He absolutely should never have been fired for any kind of comedy bit

    But but nothing will make him funny. His delivery is just so canned, no originality.

    So many other good comedians now it is… And the spanish co host gives me try hard vibes

        It kinda looks like the gentleman from the laughing meme… Is that him with more teeth?

        Same for Stephen Colbert. With the bend guy that has the fake laugh, it’s just so forced.

        It’s like the networks forced it on them to be my more diverse and connect to a larger audience. It only works if you’re funny. You can’t fake funny.
