IT'S A TIMING ISSUE ....

 So - let's start off with a simple statement that I am no expert ... nor have I found a copy of the clip/routine involved ... but if I find it, I will throw it in here.

Now - Jimmy Kimmel ... he's not my cup of tea, so to speak - I love tea, I don't like his brand of humor.

BUT .... I do have an opinion of what happened to the guy.

I think his suspension was justified ... not so much for what he said (he's never hidden the fact that he's a liberal) but that it had already been proven WRONG by the time the show aired ....

actually, it had been shown to be wrong SEVERAL HOURS before the show was aired.

It had been determined that the Kirk Assassin had in fact NOT been a member of MAGA .... that he was a LIBERAL ... that he "leaned left" ... and that he had an emotional relationship with his "roommate" who was transitioning to "Female" ... which I have no issue with but I mention it because it is the TRUTH.

By allowing this particular "bit" to be included, he knew what he was doing!

He took the chance that he was going to get canned.

And .... he got suspended, indefinately.

Now - the whole "suspension" bit is ... well ... just a bit - they didn't "fire" him ... they didn't do anything other than give this guy an unpaid vacation!

They will wait for a bit, for things to settle down a bit, and they likely will bring him back.

BUT - since the show is PRE-RECORDED ... the way everything is done these days ... they could have very easily plucked that singular bit out once the news came out - and the PRODUCER of the show should be held liable ... oh wait - that's Jimmy Kimmel too, I think.

I do not see what the worry and buzz is all about ... Disney will be fine ... ABC will be fine ... and Jimmy Kimmel will be fine - he's got more money than you realize - he's already figuring out ways to BENEFIT from this .... he'll be fine.

Still heartless, but fine.
