ABC claims Kimmel was canceled over comments he made about Kirk. The evidence says otherwise.
Starts at 2 minutes. This is the monologue referenced by the Deadline article on his cancelation.

Why is everyone saying that Kimmel got axed because of what he said? It was because after Colbert he was next on the list, Trump said it several times, why is nobody believing that Trump will do what he says? https://nypost.com/2025/08/07/media/trump-repeats-claim-kimmel-fallon-are-next-after-stephen-colbert-cancellation/

It's both. They were just waiting for the thinnest of excuses.

I agree, it's blatantly obvious that Kimmel was not canceled because of any Kirk comments since he didn't really make any. That is, however, what the network claims they canceled him for. My bad for not highlighting that in the post, I'll update it.

What a bunch of snowflakes. The side screaming fuck your feelings seem to have way more feelings then the rest of us.

The canceling of these shows reminds me of that scene in V For Vendetta.

Political theatre. They're trying to give Israel time to wipe out gaza and neighboring areas in peace.
The same fucks are brigading Israel-Palestine posts with "release the files" comments that everyone knows will not accomplish anything but virtue signaling. But works wonders to deflect from funding an actual genocide.
Good job yankistanis. You totally forced them to release unredacted Epstein files.
