Kimmel appears to have seized on the anti-Trump movement, which has coincided with a rating spike.
RATING SPIKE! LOL!
He’s saying he’s anti-trump but he’s not on the anti-trump bandwagon...?
The old Jon Stewart trick:
1) Take clown nose off and lecture everyone, maybe cry a little.
2) Get called out.
3) Put clown nose back on and say: ‘I’m just a clown, ok?’.
SNL does the heavy anti-Trump lifting for NBC. Fallon can’t touch them, so why bother.
Fallon is too smart to look at the latest shiny thing Trump dangles in front of the media. Instead, he swallows it.
I miss Johnny Carson.
And Ed Sullivan, Red Skelton, Art Carnie, Jonathan Winters, Alan King, Sid Caesar, Carol Burnett’s gang...
I don’t get it. Watched Fallon as recently as last week and every joke was anti-Trump...
Liberalism, you are either a member of the Party, or you are not. Woe to you who are not. Kinda brings back the days of the 3rd Reich, there are only 2 kinds of people in this world, those who are German and those who are not. Want to stay in business, do what we order. So it is with the networks, and those who control them.
Could it be that Fallon understands that alienting 1/2 of the potential audience is probably a bad ratings idea.
This is why Fallon wasn’t nominated for an Emmy this year while SNL was nominated for a record number of awards.
Yeah, I remember how they all made fun of Obama every night, and...
Oh ... wait a minute ... never mind.
I forgot... Kimmel, Colbert etc, all had a Liplock On Obama’s Love Porkchop.
They all had a mancrush on the Kenyan, so there was never ANYTHING funny that he did.
He has never never been on Trump’s side. He’s a phony as are the rest of those stupid nite-time commode-ians.
During the campaign I always enjoyed that skit Trump in the mirror with Jimmy Fallon dressed up exactly like his guest the real Donald. Sure was a lot of good fun and Fallon is several cuts above those leftist hacks Kimmel and Colbert.
So at least these jokers have that going for them when this is all over.
First of all, some people are confusing Fallon and Kimmel. They are 2 different Jimmys. I don’t watch either one.
Based on what I have heard and read elsewhere, Kimmel has gone beyond joking constantly about Trump and is now openly lecturing us peons about Obamacare and gun violence. it is worse in that he doesn’t have to worry about either. His baby got the best of care his millions could buy, while some of us peons are left to deal with the scraps of higher premiums and deductibles and narrowing Dr and hospital networks.
Fallon is now grappling with this anti Trump phenomenon, trying to find middle ground where can do what he loves to do without alienating the “cool club.” So he will rag on Trump occasionally but the truth is it will never be enough for his left wing buddies and his NBC overlords, and they will never forgive him for “normalizing” TrumpHitler with the hair mussing last year.
If I’m gonna stay up late it’s gonna be with FR and not late night tv as it’s practiced nowadays.
Kimmel’s a good guy.
He also decided to lett everyone take easy jokes but, be wants his long term product to be pure entertainment.
In the vein of Johnny Carson material/ product.
You can watch Carson material today and it is funny because it’s plain funny, not topical or contemporary.
It’s funny forever...
Jimmy, I knew Johnny Carson, Johnny Carson was a friend of mine (though he didn’t know it) Jimmy YOU ARE NO JOHNNY CARSON!
