I don't watch the show, and I cancelled Disney+/Hulu. That being said, I'm just stoked that Trump is going to be so mad.

I might watch just to boost the numbers that he hates so much
Why would trump be mad? This proves that we're living in an atmosphere where he can do whatever he wants, and only a massive response can do anything to stop him.
This means that while he won't get away with censoring Kimmel, he will get away with censoring many, many others that do not have the support Kimmel has.
It's genuinely mob rule.
Why would trump be mad?
It proves his power isn't absolute, so I can see him requiring a huge dose of
(Although, according to RFK Jr and his voice that ressembles a garbage disposal and his face that looks like a microwaved Mel Gibson, that could cause autism).
Microwaved Mel Gibson is fucking perfect.
I’m more excited to see what comes out of this than what Jimmy Kimmel does.
Dont care, fuck ABC.
Yeah I think we’re done. Even Dad has stopped watching ABC News in the evenings.

Don't care
I don't watch ABC
though I'll occasionally look at their website
but I do care. I think that it's a positive not to have Kimmel kicked off over this.
here’s the rub - he was kicked off and you cannot unring that bell. he was restored sure. but both actions are for two very big reasons. the former because of an alliance with fascism and the latter because of an alliance toward profit.
Until the board & Iger are tossed, I'm still not going to give you assholes, or your advertisers, any more money.

I don’t watch Kimmel. Nothing particularly against him I’m just not that into late night shows. But the real test here will be whether he’s been gagged from specific topics and people.
None of this, not one iota, is about what we watch. I see person after person commenting "I don't watch Kimmel, but..."
Frankly, it could have been censorship of a right wing show like Charlie Kirk and our response should be the same.
It's not about our preferences. It's about Freedom of Speech and the articles in the Bill of Rights.

I suspect we'll find out in his opening monologue.
My bet, he treats it like a victory lap, does a few innocuous jabs at "both sides", drops one really sharp line seemingly off script, and then continues the show as if nothing happened. He will make fun of how awkward Trump was at the Kirk memorial, and make no mention of racism, bigotry, or fascism because that's the deal they made.
And I can't say I blame him. The gun isn't to his head. It's pointed at all of the people who work on the show and don't have the political freedom that comes with being extremely rich.

If he doesn't come out swinging by mentioning front-and-center how the president and corporation colluded to have him censored, then he still lost.
Jimmy Kimmel needs to do a solid 15 minutes of nothing but Charlie Kirk material when he returns
He needs to bash cowardly media executives for the entire segment and then quit at the end, after encouraging people to keep boycotting.
There's a skill to recognizing when you have your opponent by the balls. This is one of those times. That night, Kimmel can get away with just about anything short of uncensored f-bombs and nudity. What could they possibly do? Un-un-cancel him?
The damage has been done.
Anyone who resubscribes because of this is an absolute tool.
Don't worry, I never subscribed in the first place. Yaaaarrrrrrr.....
Right? I went from passively refusing to give Disney my (non-existent) money to actively refusing to give Disney my (still non-existent) money.

"We didn't know you'd be this mad"
I'll be deeply disappointed if Kimmel apologizes for anything.
I hope he doubles down and calls all these fuckers out for the corruption happening
A reminder of what Kimmel was fired for. He showed trump completely not care about kirk's death.
Starts at about 2 minutes.
Video of monologue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j3YdxNSzTk
He really ought to work a quick cut of that clip into his new monologue. He doesn't have to be talking about Charlie, just something about the latest announcement from Trump, run the clip, oops, that's still in the machine from when they axed me last week, here's the new one, something about autism.
Yeah, awesome, amazing. I'm so stoked. Really ... No, I love the man show guy, and late night TV is so relevant. But... I'll leave Disney+ cancelled. I'm not really into the whole capitulation to fascism thing. It just kinda seems like Disney only cares about the bottom line, money. Thanks, and fuck you Mickey. It's weird that you own pluto when you are best friends with goofy. Totally fucked up. They are both dogs.
I'm glad someone is talking about the real issues
This is how capitalism works... it's about the dollar you make today, not tomorrow or the next... it hurt the dollars they made, so they had to respond... nothing more nothing less...

LET’S GO JIMMY
hope he comes on, says fuck abc and quits and leaves the stage. he won’t though because he is a literal part of the problem.
In what way is he a part of what problem?
You're also asking all the writers and crew to lose their jobs. They can't necessarily slide into another one like Kimmel can.

It's too late.
We know who you are.
At this point I am done with Disney. There is not much they can do to get me back.

Him, and Jesus, apparently
TACO Tuesday!
I'm glad he's back, but I hope he finds a better venue. If Disney is going to flip on a dime, it'd be better if he left for a more reliable brand (if possible).
So brave. So much backbone
Doesn't matter. The same assholes who capitulated to the fascist are still there so keep on boycotting them and their advertisers as much as possible.
They have learned not a damn thing here.
