I laughed my ass off at the bit where he plays the Trump clip saying "Kimmel was fired because he had no ratings", and Kimmel: "I do now."
Fucking comedy gold.

Despite not being available in 20% of American households
Why's that?
Should have clips on YouTube
The two big affiliate companies refused to air it on TV.
If it's big enough news the other % will see it. We live in multimedia age afterall.
I didn't realize they were blocking it though. That's hilarious. Fuckem.
It's how this started.
I thought it started with his firing? It didn't seem like a show buildup at all. Just bam he's fired.
It was a little behind the scenes.
They're trying to get the right to own a higher percentage of local syndicate markets than is legal.
Edit: That article doesn't really get into it but Nextsar was the first to take Kimmel off the air before dit was ABC-wide.
Interesting. Thank you
A few distributors (Sinclair, namely) refused because they’re malicious
Basically the whole thing, minus commercials, is on their Youtube account.
I'm sure there are individual clips from like ABC and random individuals uploading as well.
Perfect. Thank you, VIP!
Wouldn't count to the TV ratings.
Not even talking about the ratings here. Just ways to watch it
In 24 hours YouTube has 18.4 million views.
Trump will take credit for those ratings.
Attempting to do something, failing spectacularly, then taking credit for it anyway is completely on-brand for him
and he wouldn't be wrong. half the country buys Trump and the other half the country buys anti-Trump.
You are absolutely correct.
He absolutely should never have been fired for any kind of comedy bit
But but nothing will make him funny. His delivery is just so canned, no originality.
So many other good comedians now it is.... And the spanish co host gives me try hard vibes
you leave Guiermo out of this!
