Jimmy Kimmel

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was deliberately obtuse on his Wednesday show when he claimed that the Trump administration’s focus on Antifa is non-sensical because Antifa “is just short of anti-fascist.” Kimmel also pretended that the administration thinks Antifa is a terrorist group simply because they have matching signs.

Having former CNN media reporter-turned Substacker Oliver Darcy on once to freak out about Bari Weiss taking over CBS News was not good enough for PBS. It just had to do it again. On Tuesday, Darcy joined Amanpour and Company, where he had an epic meltdown over Weiss, the Trump administration, and conservative critiques of the news media.

NPR critic-at-large Eric Deggans wrote a 2,400-word piece praising the present posse of liberally-minded late-night comics: “Media companies thought late night TV was irrelevant. Kimmel proved them wrong.” The unity of the late-night hosts against their haters showed "these hosts and their insistence on speaking truth to power will likely only survive if they stick together."

CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! are the only two late night comedy shows with original episodes this week. As such, both men were the only ones able to give their thoughts on the recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. While both hosts acknowledged their eternal nemesis, President Donald Trump, should get credit for the deal, they…

POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner!

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel joined Bloomberg managing editor for media and entertainment Lucas Shaw on Wednesday for a discussion at Bloomberg Screentime. Twice during their conversation, Kimmel accused his critics of “distortion” and “intentionally and I think maliciously” mischaracterizing the comments that got him suspended. However, sandwiched in-between those remarks, Kimmel also unwittingly…

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

The opinion section at The Washington Post may be moving in a positive direction towards an embrace of free markets, but the style section still has a ways to go. A Saturday article that was published in the Tuesday print edition by Elahe Izadi sought to answer the question, “Has Trump’s government made political comedy feel important again?” According to Izadi and her sources, the…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel found a strange, new respect for Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a woman he has frequently dubbed “Klan Mom,” on his Tuesday show as he claimed a recent tweet from Greene proved his point that Republicans are lying about health care amid the government shutdown.

Recently, the Department of Homeland Security has announced ICE will be at February’s Super Bowl. This may strike normal people as uncontroversial given its historical precedent and the amount of security needed for the Super Bowl, but for ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday, ICE’s Super Bowl deployment allows it to do its number one job: tackle brown people.

On Wednesday, the late night comedians received their government shutdown-related marching orders. To listen to them is no different than any generic Democratic member of Congress who portrays the shutdown as a showdown between Democrats, who want people to have healthcare, and Republicans, who do not.

It was a tale of two interviews for CNN’s Dana Bash on Wednesday’s Inside Politics as she sat down with Speaker Mike Johnson and left-wing activist and actress Jane Fonda. During her conversation with Johnson, Bash recited Democratic talking points on the government shutdown and wondered if there is “something to that.” Meanwhile, she laughed it up with Fonda and suggested that she…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and CBS’s Stephen Colbert guested on each other’s respective Tuesday shows, and the former’s recent suspension was naturally a topic of interest. However, the reason why ABC suspended Kimmel in the first place went unmentioned, but there was still plenty of attacks on “that son of a bitch,” President Trump, and mutual back patting.

NBC’s host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon, stopped by CNBC’s Squawk on the Street on Tuesday to promote his new On Brand. While there, co-host Carl Quintanilla naturally asked about the state of late night, especially in the aftermath of ABC’s brief suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Fallon insisted that his show isn't that political and contrary to all evidence, that “…
