Unless a Democrat is elected next. TD
. . ."Well, that's mature. Is he going to cry on air again, too? It's pretty incredible that a guy could go from doing skits in blackface and hosting wet T-shirt contests to being that delusionally arrogant, but here we are. All of this is emblematic of what the late-night scene, aside from Greg Gutfeld, has become. It's just a bunch of far-left activists who abandoned any pretense of comedy long ago.
"Gone are the days when late-night hosts told jokes that could bring in a broad, national audience. These days, it's just the same, tired lines about Republicans and fascism told in various forms. Getting laughs isn't the point anymore. Instead, it's to generate partisan applause. It's such a far cry from what late-night used to be, even as recently as Jay Leno, who left "The Tonight Show" in 2014.
"On the other hand, ABC, which owns and airs Kimmel's show, now has the chance to do the funniest thing ever. Given CBS cited financial concerns as the reason Colbert was canceled, it's hard to see how ABC doesn't have those same issues.
"For one, Kimmel's ratings are worse than Colbert's, with the former lagging by nearly a million viewers. Meanwhile, ABC pays Kimmel a reported $15 million a year to host "Jimmy Kimmel Live," not including bonuses and royalties. Then you have to consider the costs of paying for an entire writing room and all the technical production costs. From the studio to the camera operators, nothing is cheap in Los Angeles.
"I can't say for sure, but when you consider everything involved, the math isn't really mathing as far as Kimmel's show being financially lucrative. So perhaps he should consider that before popping off, because he could and should be next on the chopping block. I suspect the entire left-wing late-night "comedy" scene's days are numbered. "
