Someone should pay him to come over to Fox (OTA) late night and we'll see. But please, leave the horrific sidekicks behind. He was funny with Andy Levy on his old Red Eye show. 1
Tenhigh Posted September 24 Posted September 24 I agree, and I think the markets already are deciding. I would love for a "real" late night comedy show to return, but I believe those days are gone.
Sojourner Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Amazing so many people care more about a guy who’s made millions over hosting a show for 20+ years than the information regarding the update to climate concerns conflicts of interest in congressional investments the fact that millions of dollars worth of food that was meant to go to impoverished/starving children in the USA was incinerated because it had passed the expiration date. Even with various international aid providers reaching out months before the expiration dates had reached to see if they would be willing to donate it if not being used… the continued underreporting of missing women, girls and children in general. Media literacy is by the way side. It’s either A or B. Need to get back to the broader and unbiased perspective. There was a saying that embodied journalism; the reader should never know or be alluded to your stance or belief regarding the information you are covering or reporting. Got to care about the millionaire who can’t continue to make millions I guess?

So he could well afford to share his true thoughts. Sounds like the American dream on steroids. And this isn’t about him. Edited September 25 by Joe Ferguson forever 1
Joe Ferguson forever Posted September 25 Posted September 25 6 hours ago, The Frankish Reich said: I think that's advertising revenue. The locals get local ad spots during network programming - even during the Super Bowl if I'm not mistaken - and they sell lots of ads during local news, etc. Mostly the wrong consumers at this point, but still very profitable. From an economic perspective, it's pure rent-seeking on the part of the Sinclairs of the world. I imagine the big 3.75 (ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX) have evaluated whether it makes sense to even keep the over-the-air thing going. They're all ready to jump ship with their Peacocks and Hulus gaining market penetration. I’ll admit, I get a laugh out of the local ads. The car dealership ads are often hilarious but it must work or they’d stop. The ambulance chasers and disability ads just pi$$ me off

The Frankish Reich Posted September 25 Posted September 25 I see the B-Man is still confounded by my simple question: should the FCC now leave Kimmel alone? I know, it's a tough one for him. He runs the risk of being outside the MAGA mainstream, and it could kill his future political aspirations if he were to actually take a position on a football fan forum.
SCBills Posted September 25 Posted September 25 Lmaoooooooo Is he serious? This can’t be a serious post… 1
JFKjr Posted September 26 Posted September 26 Hopefully Kimmel will be Snowflaking about Comey tonight.

He’s emotional for himself because he almost torched his entire career. Kimmel is an unrepentant liar who tried to blame Charlie’s assassination on the part of the country that just spent the last 2 weeks praying and holding vigils. What he’s really saying is that he still thinks it’s fair game to slander conservatives. He would rather advance his own political and cultural agenda than confront the truth. The truth is that his own side has been fanning the flames of political assassinations for years. The truth is that someone on the left picked up a gun and murdered someone on the right who advocated for peaceful debate. It’s critical that liars admit they lied. There can be no restoration without that. Anything short of that is a fake and scripted cry line designed to endear him to his fans, not to make right the wrong he committed. The truth is when you assassinate a speaker on the left or right it's an attack on free speech and our Democracy. The man that shot Charlie Kirk is a conflicted lunatic that doesn't deserve an allegiance with the left or right. Murder has no place in politics in my humble opinion. Zombie (Jimmy Kimmel live)

SectionC3 Posted September 26 Posted September 26 You want to know who the loser is in this? Nexstar and its merge partner (Scripps?). What are those stations going to broadcast without ABC? Old time shows like WBBZ in Buffalo? Other dreck? Good luck making your nut on that. In the meantime, ABC learned that it can spread this content to a wide audience via Hulu and YouTube. So maybe OTA TV is in trouble. But the content that these networks can broadcast online is not. I would be pissing bullets if I was at Nextstar, etc.

My wife watches both Matlock and Elsbeth, and they are indeed terrible. 1
