Like any overdue evening tv host, comedian Jimmy Kimmel has attracted his fair share of controversy all through his tenure. He’s made wildly inappropriate remarks, trafficked in racial humor, and for a second, it recently gave the impression that this all finally caught up to him, as it seemed like ABC binned him on a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Recommended VideosFor those that have no longer watched it, the display ⏤ which does not actually honor its premise ⏤ was once airing Monday night when at round nine and a part mins into Kimmel’s monologue, a information cut-in graphic took over the screen. From there, Kimmel’s sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, learn a “observation” from the community claiming that it had made up our minds to part tactics with Kimmel after decades in combination, and wished him the most efficient sooner or later.
Rodriguez followed up with a parody of Tucker Carlson being fired from Fox News, with comments advising Kimmel to not let the door hit him on the approach out. Kimmel joked that it would were worse. To be clear, this used to be a scripted comedy bit, now not an actual firing, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t confusion on-line later on.
Did Jimmy Kimmel get fired from ABC?
In the midst of his segment, Kimmel was once interrupted by a ridicule "News Alert" delivered by his co-host Guillermo Rodriguez teasing that ABC fired the late evening comedian. https://t.co/CkOLXASB9B
Here’s some context, for the uninitiated:
So, no, Jimmy Kimmel was not in point of fact fired by ABC. For those who want to suggest for a real-life Kimmel firing, you have to argue that his odd appearances in blackface previous in his occupation, being impolite to Megan Fox, or his stunt with Quinta Brunson when she received her Emmy all warrant renewed investigation. But a historical past of comedy shenanigans in questionable taste hasn’t been enough for Jimmy Kimmel to proportion Tucker Carlson’s on-air destiny in genuine existence. Not but, anyway.
