Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday after his show was suspended following comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk, Disney has said in a statement released in the last few moments.
“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” the statement says.
“It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”
I wrote a very angry letter, letting them know that I was switching my news source, cancelling Hulu, and in the future, I would pirate their content, and watch it without commercials.
That’s three revenue-sucking situations that every network hates, and it worked, they caved.
I also told them that I expect them to hold the line on free speech, and if Trump threatens to remove their FCC license, dare him to do it. That FCC license gives them a responsibility to this nation. Folding like they tried to do is unacceptable.
So you saved jimmy’s show?
Yep, single-handedly.
No, of course not. But ALL corporations understand that one person that takes the time to write a coherent, logical letter, and doesn’t threaten sexual violence against their daughters and elderly relatives, represent, and are speaking for, a very large number of people who are just sitting at home, pissed off and talking to their families.
Get enough of those letters, and the data analysis people in Marketing start getting extremely nervous. That’s what happened here. In fact, the walls crumbled so quickly, that they must have received an overwhelming amount of angry communications.
I believe the implication was that a significant amount of other people also did this.
No, thats fairm i was needlessly pointing out how it seemed like they were taking credit for the whole thing. It was supposed to be a joke but looking back, it wasn’t very funny.
Also like why does the FCC license even matter anymore? For the three people left still watching ABC over the air?
