Breitbart News Executive Chairman Steve Bannon weighed in on the state of late-night television and Hollywood during a segment on Thursday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM. Co-hosting Thursday’s show with Breitbart London Editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam, Bannon noted that late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel were steadily upping their level of anti-Trump vitriol in order to compete with one another, and said Breitbart News’ Big Hollywood section was helping to expose celebrities for how “dumb” they are. “Andrew [Breitbart] always said, ‘Culture is up-river from politics,'” Bannon told a caller who asked about the influence of entertainment on...

Hollywood has become a platform for propaganda and politics. Celebrities spout activism at every available opportunity. Many Americans have tuned them out and quit watching them almost entirely over it. They don’t seem to get they are alienating half of their audience either way they go. There’s no way we could list all of them, but here are ten of the most irritating celebrities that just won’t shut up today. Let us know which ones annoy you the most. Rank it! IMPORTANT VOTING INSTRUCTIONS: If you think a celebrity is really annoying, hit the up arrow. If you think they...

Jimmy Kimmel is the perfect spokesman for the American Left. He personifies everything the Left has become over the last 25 years, since the advent of Clintonian/Alinsky dominance of the Democrat Party: Entitled, snarky, mean, haughty, and above all else, studiously ignorant. The tactics he deploys from his late night pulpit are the tactics Clintonian Democrats have deployed from their political pulpits for a quarter of a century. You begin with a set of talking points prepared by someone else, but which you memorize and recite as if they were gospel handed down from God himself. In Kimmel’s case, the...

If you were wondering how Jimmy Kimmel suddenly became an instant expert on Graham-Cassidy, it turns out he had a lot of help including from Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The Daily Beast reports Kimmel has had a running conversation with Schumer and other outside experts for several weeks: Behind the scenes, the ABC star was getting an assist. Kimmel and his team were in touch with health care officials, charities and advocacy groups, multiple sources told The Daily Beast. He also was in touch with the office of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y) who, according to a...

“Because of the merge of entertainment and politics, we’ve basically said that those hearts are the fullest, we’re just going to grant that their brains are also fullest. I don’t think that that’s necessarily true,” Shapiro argued at one point in the 20-minute-plus takedown. Shapiro brought up the fact that, like Kimmel’s son, his daughter needed heart surgery so she was treated by the same doctor (Vaughn Starnes) at the same hospital (Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles). He also noted that this hospital is a charity hospital with a massive endowment, so children that Kimmel claims have been denied care...

Jimmy Kimmel went on a tirade against Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade Wednesday night, ultimately threatening to “pound” him the next time he saw him. On Fox News early Wednesday, Kilmeade criticized Kimmel for constantly talking about health care despite running a comedy show.

ABC’s self-described “eating pizza” expert, Jimmy Kimmel was at it again on Tuesday, admittedly politicizing his son’s medical condition to push for socialized medicine. This time he was targeting Republican Senator Bill Cassidy and Senate Republicans with disgusting charges of aiming to do cruel things with the lives and health care of Americans. In all, Kimmel’s description painted the GOP as villains in a straight-to-DVD Hollywood flop. “And this new bill actually does pass the Jimmy Kimmel Test, but a different Jimmy Kimmel Test,” he declared, noting that Cassidy wanted his bill to live up to Kimmel’s situation. “This one,...

Thanks to Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, the healthcare policy pronouncements of late night comic Jimmy Kimmel are back in the headlines. This is terrible news, because Kimmel's statements represent everything that is wrong about this nation's healthcare debate. For those just catching up, Kimmel's entrance into the world of healthcare punditry started earlier this month, when he discussed in emotional terms the birth of a newborn son with a heart condition, and the medical intervention necessary to save him. Now, it should be said at the outset that I'm sure that what Kimmel and his family went through was incredibly...

Jimmy Kimmel returned to his late-night show after a week-long absence Monday, where he used his monologue to update his audience on the health of his newborn son and confront those who criticized his widely-watched monologue on the subject during a broadcast last week. The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host unloaded on Republican lawmakers in his first monologue back Monday, and called on Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La) to explain why “the vast majority of Republican politicians” are against Americans having health care coverage. But before that, Kimmel addressed the reaction he received after he made an emotional plea last week for...

Part 1: Single-payer does not protect people with pre-existing conditions Ben Stein appeared on “Your World with Neil Cavuto” Wednesday to discuss late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel’s touching monologue that included ill-informed statements about health care. Instead of trying to correct Kimmel’s assertions, though, Stein just added to the confusion. Regarding the future of our health care system, Stein said, “At the end of the day … it’s going to be single-payer. And the taxpayers are going to have to pick up the tab, and we might as well face that fact as soon as possible. I don’t like...

Via Raw Story, I did not think the GOP would be setting health-care policy in 2017 based on the opinions of a former host of “The Man Show.”We should be guided by the opinions of the former host of “Celebrity Apprentice” instead.It’s no coincidence, I think, that Cassidy is eyeing the “Kimmel test” after telling the Times this in March about the first iteration of the House GOP’s health-care bill: “The folks who Hillary Clinton called the ‘deplorables’ are actually those who want better coverage, who we’d be hurting if we don’t change this bill,” Mr. [X] said, noting...

In his emotional monologue a few nights ago, Jimmy Kimmel told us a heartbreaking story with a happy ending.His newborn son, Billy, was diagnosed with a heart disease and underwent immediate surgery—which thankfully was successful.Millions have since watched and sympathized with the comedian and his family—crying when he cried, rejoicing when he rejoiced.No one ever wants that diagnosis to be their story. It’s scary, especially when you consider that a solution comes in the form of open heart surgery on the tiniest of chest cavities.Kimmel was right to praise the doctors and nurses at Cedars Sinai Hospital and the Children’s...

Ben Stein is entitled to believe anything he wants but never again may he call himself a conservative Alleged conservative Ben Stein revealed his bleeding-heart leftist self Wednesday on “Your World with Neil Cavuto” as he defended Jimmy Kimmel, his longtime personal friend. Kimmel delivered a heart-wrenching monolog the other night about his newborn son who was born with a dangerous heart defect and needed emergency open-heart surgery. No one with blood coursing through his veins who watched it could fail to be moved as Kimmel passionately discussed his personal anguish about a loved one.

This is why America hates Hollywood. Late night “funny” man Jimmy Kimmel delivered a heart-wrenching monologue Monday night that every mother and every father could relate to. In the emotion-drunk moments last month after the birth of their son — still in the hospital room surrounded by nurses and euphoric family — he and his wife watched their boy turn blue and got the terrifying news that something was wrong with his heart. Or lungs. Or both. Mr. Kimmel called it the “longest three hours of my life” as more nurses and doctors and machines crowded into the room and...

Jimmy Kimmel was crying before he even started talking. “I have a story to tell about something that happened to our family last week,” the late-night host said at the top of his show Monday night. “Before I go into it, I want you to know it has a happy ending.” It’s a good thing he said that because otherwise, this 13-minute monologue would have been even more unbearable to endure. Kimmel went on to tell his audience and viewers that this past week, his wife gave birth to a baby boy named William John Kimmel—Billy for short. Everything seemed...

FULL TITLE: 'We will beat you so badly you will be using your own face as a flotation device': Jimmy Kimmel mocks United Airlines' overbooking controversy with fake ad starring a flight attendant wearing brass knuckles Jimmy Kimmel has mocked United Airlines for allowing a 69-year-old grandfather to be aggressively dragged off the plane. The talk show host blasted the airline on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Monday with a parody ad during the opening monologue. United landed in hot water after a video showed Dr Dao beaten and forcefully pulled off the overbooked flight from Chicago to Louisville. The chipper flight...

“This is not a prank,” Jimmy Kimmel tweeted in December. “Yes, I am hosting the Oscars.” Sunday night’s show, airing on ABC, is Kimmel’s third time on the big awards stage, after hosting the Emmys last year and in 2012. Although Kimmel is typically an entertaining host, this year’s Oscars could be a low-rated show. A poll by the Hollywood Reporter found that 60 percent of Americans couldn’t name one best picture nominee. For the record, the eight nominated movies are “Fences,” “Hacksaw Ridge,” “Hell or High Water,” “Hidden Figures,” “La La Land,” “Lion,” “Manchester by the Sea” and “Moonlight.”...

Enjoy the fail I’m having a lot of fun this week. Watching Democrats, progressives, and lefties left freak out as their smug, self-righteous, holier-than-thou attitude comes crashing down around them is one of the most enjoyable moments of my political life. They were so sure - so 100% absolutely certain - that no one would dare defy their extraordinary intellect and obvious superiority.

When there's an election, especially one as contentious as this one, there's a tendency to stop and appreciate what we have right now. So we had some fun with this. We went out on the street and asked people what they thought about President Obama's big announcement that he's running for a third term. Of course, President Obama is not running for a third term. There's a two-term limit. It's in the Constitution. But did that stop anyone we told he was running again from claiming they knew about this? Find out in a new #LieWitnessNews.
