Oh, and some more factoids.
Turns out the real reason Jimmy Kimmel is as of this moment destined to Learn To Code is none other than...
...Jimmy Kimmel himself:

Before we dive into the article, let's note that JK is suffering from falling ratings and was in fact in last place among the 3 late night shows.
Now the article:
Late night host Jimmy Kimmel said he was unwilling to apologize for his remarks that blamed MAGA supporters for killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk — and said he was going to double down on attacking President Trump’s backers before he was yanked from the air, according to new reports.
Kimmel learned in a phone call from top Disney exec Dana Walden on Wednesday afternoon that his show was being removed indefinitely, Deadline reported, citing sources.
During the call, Kimmel reportedly refused to comply with calls from critics and the owners of dozens of ABC affiliate stations for him to apologize.LOL. The left's new free speech martyr is looking like anything but.
Disney, however, felt that if Kimmel had doubled down on his MAGA comments, the company would have been forced to make a more drastic decision than simply suspending the show, sources told Deadline. In the media biz, "Suspending" basically means "gone" because once an audience finds another home...it doesn't come back in the same numbers that existed before.
