Jimmy Kimmel should be fired — for real, this time.
The sparsely watched late-night talk show host was suspended briefly this year by his bosses at ABC, not because he took on President Donald Trump, as he whined. It was because he made sick jokes about the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, raising the national temperature in an age of gross political violence.
At a delicate time in this nation’s history, Kimmel’s remarks not only could be construed as an incitement to murder, his words were stupid, petulant and incredibly inaccurate.
And he was unapologetic, even after he was able to keep his job!
His latest musings, rambled on Christmas Day, were grandiose, self-serving and traitorous, striking a new low, even for him.
Kimmel leaped across the pond to England where he again cranked up the leftist political volume, slamming the president and throwing in a claim that he is a victim of “facism.”
His “pity me, I’m being censored!” only proved his ignorance as to the definition of censorship.
“You may have read in your colorful newspapers my country’s president would like to shut me up because I don’t adore him in the way he likes to be adored,” the multimillionaire said on Channel 4’s Alternative Christmas Message.
“Tyranny is booming over here,” Kimmel cried.
And it’s all about me, me, me!
“The American government made a threat against me and the company I work for, and all of a sudden, we were off the air,” fumed Kimmel, mocking Trump as “King Donny the Eighth.’’
He said Trump is “figuratively and literally tearing down the structures of our democracy.”
“From the free press, to science, to medicine, to judicial independence, to the actual White House itself, we are a right mess,” he said, apologizing to United Kingdom residents for the toll it’s taken on their country.
“And we want you to know – or, at least I want you to know — that we’re not all like him. We’re not all like that,” Kimmel said, urging Brits not to “give up” on Americans.

“We won, the president lost,” he inaccurately told viewers.
In reality, Kimmel’s six-day suspension stemmed from him wrongly declaring that the revered Turning Point founder’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was a MAGA Republican rather than what he truly was: an amped-up leftist who lived with a transgender lover and was sexually obsessed with furries. Much of this was already known when Kimmel shot his mouth off.
Here’s some of what he said in his Sept. 15 monologue:
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
His firing would be just.
But after drumming up outrage at his suspension from his famous friends and some misguided viewers — not the “millions and millions” Kimmel claims — his show was put back on the air.
While he pretends to stand up for truth and justice, Kimmel’s huge on-air gaffe was the best thing that ever happened to him.
False claims of Kimmel’s persecution drew international attention to his flailing show, transforming the host from a bumbling talker who tried to sow hatred on the right by lying about an accused killer’s background, and turning him into a champion for free speech.
He has a right to his (insane) opinion.
But his employer has no Constitutional requirement to air his dangerous idiocy, nor is the network required by law to employ Jimmy Kimmel for an estimated $15 million to $16 million per year.
This is not censorship. Kicking him to the curb would be a sound business decision that would appeal to at least half the people of this country.
Spewing his rubbish in another country should be grounds for his immediate termination.
ABC must leave his nonsense on the cutting room floor, where Jimmy Kimmel will be swiftly forgotten.
