Jimmy Kimmel blamed Netflix for the 90th annual Academy Awards getting the lowest television ratings in the show's history.
Kimmel, who attacks President Donald Trump and conservatives regularly on his ABC late-night show, hosted the Oscars for the second straight year, seeing disappointing ratings both times. The 2018 Oscars appear to have suffered a substantial 19 percent ratings drop compared to the show in 2017.
On his Tuesday, Kimmel blamed the streaming service for the Oscars' problems after Trump criticized the awards on Twitter, which the Daily Wire reported.
"Trump loves saying the ratings are down as if to insinuate that's some sort of show of support for him, but the truth is, every year since Netflix happened, the ratings for every big TV show are down—Super Bowl, Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes," Kimmel said. "But Trump thinks he caused the ratings to go down."
Prior to hosting his late night show on ABC, Kimmel co-hosted "The Man Show" on Comedy Central, where women called "juggy girls" wore revealing costumes and in which women jumped on trampolines while the credits rolled. At the time, Kimmel declared the show "a joyous celebration of chauvinism," but he has since used his show as a platform for progressive politics.
These people are just never going to get a clue, are they?
More liberal excuses.
Its always someone else’s fault. Eh, Jimmy?
Liberals always have to find someone or something else to blame for their own failures.
LOL! It’s never them. ALWAYS find somewhere else to place the blame. NEVER accept responsibility.
It’s never their fault. I will bet he learned that as a kid. Probably had a very weak mother.
I dont want to open the link to this bull ####
WHAT is the “reason” that netflix is the cause?
Netflix provided an alternative to the predictable left wing railings of the Oscars. I'd watch paint dry before I'd watch that bastard kimmel.
how does that change things? isnt Netflix just like another channel?
Yes, reminds me of the scene (the Private Boone one) in the movie MASH in which Duke Forrest (Tom Skerritt) discusses Major Frank Burns and his tendency to blame “God’s will or someone else’s fault” whenever a patient died.
Well, Kimmel hosted the fiasco.
“You can’t handle the truth.”
Reason ? ? ?
He don’t need no stinkin reason.
The boy is in total denial. Trump Derangement Syndrome will do that to you.
Kimmel is a turd in the punch bowel.
That’s exactly how “these people” get to be “these people.”
Blame is the name of the game when you have fame but no shame.
My goodness I love this potus. He trolls like no one ever. Can you imagine any other potus doing this? Has these losers out of their minds. So exposes them. Heck he’s better at alinsky tactics than they are and they’re furious
That, and climate change. And the Jews.
Didn’t stop them from accepting their $100K swag bags. Why don’t they ask these companies to make donations to charities in lieu of these bobbles that celebrities can well afford themselves. Out of every objectionable and insulting thing that happens during these award shows, I find that to be the worst.
