NY Post readers discuss late-night host Jimmy Kimmel getting slammed for boorish comments about first lady Melania Trump. AFP via Getty Images The Issue: Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel slammed for boorish comments about first lady Melania Trump. I find it sad that ABC and Disney have again allowed Jimmy Kimmel to spew his hate (“Kimmel’s laughable,” Kirsten Fleming, April 29).
Disney forgets that many American voters are tired of hearing the nonstop voice of this hateful person, and as for ABC, there is nothing American about what it tolerates in reference to the president or the first lady.
That is why I am boycotting ABC and everything Disney. It seems Disney and ABC feel they don’t need those of us who love and respect our country.
The words and actions of Donald Trump’s regime have resulted in deaths of thousands of people in Iran. Jimmy Kimmel’s words and actions? Zero — but he’s supposed to be “hateful and violent?”
Exercising freedom of speech is akin to walking a tightrope. Just because you’re able to do it doesn’t mean you’ll make it all the way to the end.
These celebrities need to think long and hard before they start spewing their diatribe of hate for the president.
Clever humor is one thing, but when you abrasively excoriate another person or family, because you lack the comedic skills of your predecessors — as in David Letterman, Jay Leno or Johnny Carson — that’s crossing the line.
Kimmel’s vituperative language aimed at Erika Kirk and Melania Trump is inexcusable and, at the very least, he should be removed from ABC.
It’s clear that he’s always had an agenda of belittling people. His unwavering sense of his delusional self is the epitome of someone who believes that degrading people is the essence of wit.
What has happened to a once great Democratic Party is sickening.
They have turned into extreme-left progressive sickies who are destroying this country. Jimmy Kimmel is not funny with his sick rhetoric, and he should be ashamed of himself. ABC and Disney show their true colors keeping someone like him on their payroll; he should be fired immediately.
It’s no secret that Jimmy Kimmel ceased being funny years ago. His show has become a platform for the Democratic Party, particularly its left wing.
What’s most disturbing is the reaction of his audience to even his most inane comments. The seemingly uncontrollable laughter is better suited for trained circus chimps. It’s a sad commentary on our society.
Sell all your Disney stock if you don’t like “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
Disney protects and supports this wallydraigle whose claim to fame is “The Man Show,” playing black-face characters and degrading women.
Poor white elitist woke Kimmel can’t make it as a comedian, so he has to resort to making jokes about the president’s assassination. What a stand-up guy.
How does the Federal Communications Commission allow Kimmel to make such rude crude remarks about a president and his wife? I can assure you, if Kimmel made his remarks about brain-dead Joe Biden, Jimmy’s show would already be off the air.
Do ABC and Disney really want to be associated with a low-life bum like Kimmel? Get him off TV.
I am so disappointed in ABC and other networks that protect their late-night scumbag so-called comedians, who get away with saying disgusting things about people they don’t like.
I’d like to tell those that made those remarks that what they said also goes for their own wives and families.
The hazard of building a platform on relentless ridicule is that it has nowhere to go. Audiences tire of the repetition or begin to notice the emptiness behind it.
If this is goodbye, Jimmy, it’s likely because the well finally ran dry. It wasn’t Donald Trump who ended it; it was the limits of your act itself.
