Jimmy Kimmel

As the late night comedy shows remain on strike, former late night host Conan O’Brien joined Kara Swisher of New York Magazine on her podcast to discuss the future of the format. During their long discussion, O’Brien argued that Trump and the angry reaction to him from current comedy hosts “hurt comedy.”

The late night comedy shows may be on strike which means they’ve had to go four months without offering up their hot takes on the news which they sought the remedy on the Thursday’s edition of their Strike Force Five podcast. When asked which news story he regrets not being able to cover, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel naturally chose Donald Trump.

With the Writers Guild of America going on strike, it is likely that America has seen the last of the first half of 2023’s late night comedy shows. Whether America wants them to return is another question as 95 percent of their guests were liberal, a NewsBusters study has documented.

The Monday news media news surrounding Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon provided the late night comedy shows a golden opportunity to show they aren’t just liberal partisans. However, they would fail this test as individual jokes about Carlson outnumbered jokes about Lemon 32-to-2 with five additional jokes about both men.

Jimmy Kimmel may never stop apologizing for making bikini models bounce on trampolines.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! conducted a series of man-on-the-street interviews for Thursday’s how where a reporter asked a series of men questions about women’s bodies that they naturally did not know the answers to. The point was not just to laugh at men who can’t identify cat toys or confuse the rectum for the ovaries, but to attack pro-lifers.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel took time out of his Wednesday monologue to attack a college student who attended a recent Mike Pence speech at the University of Alabama for daring to be fearful that Democrats are redefining what it means to be a woman. For Kimmel, the concern highlights why university should “have another look at the minimum GPA required” for admission.

The following are just a few of the ugliest attacks on conservatives from liberal journalists and celebrities in the last month. 

For the late night comedy show hosts and their audiences, the Thursday indictment of former President Trump was more of a chance to enjoy a cathartic experience than anything else. However, buried beneath their joy was the sense that they haven’t completely thought through the ramifications.

A bill is making its way through the Florida State Legislature that would limit sex education to grades six and above, teach that sex is immutable and binary, and increase transparency, so naturally ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel had to attack it on Monday, “just because your state looks like a penis, doesn't mean you have to act like one all the time.” 

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel reacted the first day of the Conservative Political Action Conference with his usual hurling of insults as he labeled attendees as both “fascist” and “racist.”

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel does not like being reminded that he once dismissed the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic began as a lab leak, so on his Tuesday show he compared Fox News’s Tucker Carlson to “diarrhea” while blaming him and others for anti-Asian violence in America.

The raise of woke culture should present the late night comedians a golden mine of joke material given the absurdities it presents, but instead they chose to focus on the reaction. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel did just that on his Thursday show as he told Fox News, “you're embarrassing yourselves” by reporting on the latest progressive cause.

The late night comedy shows ended 2022 with a unanimously liberal guest count and that trend continued into the first month of 2023, a NewsBusters study has revealed.
