I think he needs voters for that but maybe I don’t understand US politics.

I feel like there's a decent chunk of comedians who base their platform off progressive politics because that helps distract people from the fact they aren't really funny.

Jimmy Kimmel is like their patron saint. Not only has he elevated his career beyond his talent level, but he managed to completely avoid getting canceled for all that racist and sexist shit he did on The Man Show. Like even if you can excuse most of it as a product of the time, straight up blackface wasn't considered politically correct in the 2000s either.

I disagree, I think Kimmel is awesome.

Honestly if he was just like "yeah I was a complete asshole 20 years ago. I apologize" I wouldn't hold it against him. I believe in the capacity for people to change.

However when asked about the Man Show he claimed it was supposed to be intricate satire, the fact that the audience genuinely liked it disgusted him, and he hated every second of it.

Kimmel was the creator, producer, and head writer. He could have easily changed the format if he truly despised it. Or just got rid of the part where he had scantily clad women dance on trampolines.

Yeah, never was a fan of Kimmel. He isn't funny and his political ideas suck.

Great way to trigger the magnuts. They already think Obama is running the country anyway.

Who gives a fuck? Stop caring what a bunch of idiots think, especially when they're going to be angry anyways.

No its funny. Plus whatever gets under their skin. Its like punching a Seventh Day Adventist knowing damned well they cant do anything or theyll get excommunicated or whatever they call it.

They should have put a hat on him with just the number 47 on it.
