ABC claims Kimmel was canceled over comments he made about Kirk. The evidence says otherwise.
Starts at 2 minutes. This is the monologue referenced by the Deadline article on his cancelation.
Here’s another that may or may not be related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHT7ICvMtlA
Why is everyone saying that Kimmel got axed because of what he said? It was because after Colbert he was next on the list, Trump said it several times, why is nobody believing that Trump will do what he says? https://nypost.com/2025/08/07/media/trump-repeats-claim-kimmel-fallon-are-next-after-stephen-colbert-cancellation/
It’s both. They were just waiting for the thinnest of excuses.
I agree, it’s blatantly obvious that Kimmel was not canceled because of any Kirk comments since he didn’t really make any. That is, however, what the network claims they canceled him for. My bad for not highlighting that in the post, I’ll update it.
