Yeah really going to miss those two entitled asshole comedians.
They weren’t funny lol. Couldn’t hold a candle to Johny or Letterman.

That isn't even remotely the point. The so-called Free Speech Warriors should be up at arms about this. Instead they're dismissing it bc it's not their people. Another chapter in that history book tells us what happens when we think "at least it's not us."

If Letterman were still on, he'd be getting cancelled too.

“This is misery,” Letterman said when asked about Kimmel’s suspension, speaking at The Atlantic Festival 2025 Thursday in New York. “I feel bad about this,” he continued. “We see where this is all going, correct? It’s managed media. And it’s no good. It’s silly. It’s ridiculous. And you can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office. That’s just not how this works.”
