I think I said everything I had to say about this last week, so I’ll try to keep things short so you can just go ahead and watch the 28 minute video.
I’m genuinely surprised that Kimmel got his show back. Given the current refusal of any corporate giant to do the bare ass minimum to stand up for anything even remotely resembling what’s right, I figured he would quietly fade away while we all got distracted by the next stupid Trump thing. Just watch this senile orange dipshit try to pronounce Acetaminophen.
Anyway, I’m glad that for the moment, good sense and free speech won out. But it’s only a battle you’ve won, America. the war isn’t over. Don’t forget that.
As for the monologue, I don’t think it could have been handled much better. He hit every serious point he needed to hit, gave credit where it was due to right wingers who spoke out against what the government was trying to do to him which is how things mostly used to work, and even found time to be funny (the new FCC chairman is a particular highlight).
