Obviously still rattled by President Trump mocking his record-low Oscar viewership, a defensive Jimmy Kimmel blamed Netflix for the historic ratings catastrophe. Early Monday morning, Trump poked fun at the Oscars with a tweet that read, Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we dont have Stars anymore except your President (just kidding, of course)!
An already defensive Kimmel fired back with this bit of fake news, Thanks, lowest rated President in HISTORY.
Actually, according to Rasmussen, one of the most accurate pollsters of the 2016 election, Trump is sitting at a healthy 48 percent job approval rating, and as of late has polled higher than former-President Obama did at this exact same time in his failed presidency.

Occam’s Razor quickly reveals that Kimmel is and always has been a boring dips*** even in the Man Show days where Carolla carried him.
Jimmy: I want all those hours I spent watching the Man Show with you and Carolla back. I used to think you were actually funny, now I see you’re just a prick.
Not only are there no real stars anymore, but the movies that get nominated for best picture are art house flicks nobody wanted to see. For the last several years, there have been only one nominee for best picture each year that I have ever heard of. Actually, other than with comic book flicks, the Hollywood “movie” is rapidly becoming irrelevant. The best cinema is definitely coming from cable and the online services.
Truth is, the country just doesnt like you Jimmy
Sorry Jimmy, you’re just not funny.
So, now he's the Hillary Clinton of tv? Blame, blame, blame.
Yea, Netflix. That’s the ticket.
I need to tell that to my wife, Morgan Fairchild.
Yea.
We dont have stars, we have chosen propagandists and proscribed culture.
Bother of which people really won’t watch (until forced to by their leaders, like in North Korea)
Netflix? Jimmy, you know better...its the Russians. Didnt you get the memo? Remember....Russia, Russia, Russia!
Jimmy Kimmel, “the weeping clown”.
It couldnt actually be that the Oscars are boring, could it? I had read that the host, the presenters and the recipients had been asked to not be political, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and started to watch. From the outset the broadcast was political, so I said BUH BYE.
I blame the Russians.
I would rather watch paint dry than watch Kibble spew his hate and evil trash.......................
Jimmy Kimmel - Not even an accomplished liar.
He's a leftist and like Obama and Hillary, never ever take responsibility for their own failure(s). It's always someone else's fault.
It’s not really fair to lacerate Hollywood....b/c Hollywood has always been a destination for the “true believers.”
Have you not heard of “The Hollywood Creed?”
(hat tip Michael Kelly)
Hollywood believes President Bill Clinton. And has always believed him. Hollywood believed it when Clinton said he had never been drafted in the Vietnam War and believed him later when Clinton said he had merely forgotten to mention that he had been drafted in the Vietnam War.
Hollywood believed him when Clinton he said he hadnt had sex with Gennifer Flowers and believed him later, when Clinton reportedly said he did bed her down.
Hollywood believes the president did not rent out the Lincoln Bedroom to celebrities, did not sell access to himself and the vice president to hundreds of well-heeled special pleaders and did not supervise the largest, most systematic money-laundering operation in campaign finance history, collecting more than $3 million in illegal and improper donations.
Hollywood believes that Charlie Trie and James Riady were motivated by nothing but patriotism for their adopted country.
Hollywood believed President Clinton when he conceded that his administration mistakenly obtained the FBI files of more than 300 people, including many top Republicans and believes it was the result of a completely honest bureaucratic snafu involving security clearances.
Hollywood believed Clintons chief of staff, Leon Panetta, when he told reporters that obviously a mistake was made and apologized to the people whose FBI files wound up at the White House. Hollywood believed Clinton when he said I completely support what my COS Panetta said about the affair.
Hollywood believed Vice President Gore when he said that he had made dunning calls to political contributors on a few occasions from his White House office, and believed him when he said that, actually, a few meant 46.
Hollywood devoutly believes in no controlling legal authority....but not for Nixon or Trump.
Hollywood believed Bruce Babbitt when he said that the $286,000 contributed to the DNC by Indian tribes opposed to granting a casino license to rival tribes had nothing to do with his denial of the license. Hollywood believed the secretary when he said that he had not been instructed in this matter by then-White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes.
Hollywood believed him when he said later that he had told lobbyist and friend Paul Eckstein that Ickes had told him to move on the casino decision, but that he had been lying to Eckstein.
Hollywood agreed with the secretary that it is an outrage that anyone would question his integrity.
Hollywood firmly believes in the Clinton Standard of adherence to the nations campaign finance and bribery laws, enunciated by the president on March 7, 1997: I dont believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I had changed government policy solely because of a contribution.
All of Hollywoods accomplished wordsmiths noted with approval the use of the word evidence and also the use of the word solely. Hollywood believes, as Clinton does, that it is proper to change government policy to address the concerns of people who have given the president money, as long as nobody can find evidence of this being the “sole” reason.
Hollywood believes president Clinton lived up to his promise to preside over the most ethical administration in American history that indicted former agriculture secretary Mike Espy did not accept $35,000 in illegal favors from Tyson Foods and other regulated businesses.
Hollywood believes that indicted former housing secretary Henry Cisneros did not lie to the FBI and tell others to lie to cover up $250,000 in blackmail payments to his former mistress.
Hollywood believes that convicted former associate attorney general Webster Hubbell was not involved in the obstruction of justice when the presidents minions arranged for Hubbell to receive $ 400,000 in sweetheart consulting deals at a time when he was reneging on his promise to cooperate with Kenneth Starrs Whitewater investigation.
Hollywood believes, as Harvey Weinstein does, that Paula Jones is a cheap tramp who was asking for it, that Kathleen Willey is a cheap tramp who was asking for it, and that Monica Lewinsky is a cheap tramp who was asking for it.
Hollywood firmly believes Monica Lewinsky was just fantasizing in her 20 hours of taped conversation in which she reportedly detailed her sexual relationship with the president and begged Linda Tripp to join her in lying about the relationship and that any gifts, correspondence, telephone calls and the 37 post-employment White House visits that may have passed between Lewinsky and the president are evidence only of a platonic relationship.
Hollywood believes, as all casting directors do, that such innocent intimate friendships are quite common between middle-aged married men and young single women, and also between presidents of the United States and White House interns.
Hollywood sees nothing suspicious in the report that the
presidents intimate pal, Vernon Jordan, arranged a $40,000-per-year job for Lewinsky shortly after she signed but before she filed an affidavit saying she had not had sex with the president.
Nor did insightful Hollywood with its finger on the pulse of America read anything significant into the fact that the ambassador to the United Nations, Bill Richardson, visited Lewinsky at the Watergate to offer her a job.
Hollywood producers, directors, authors and screenwriters believe the instructions Lewinsky gave Linda Tripp informing her on how to properly perjure herself in the Willey matter simply wrote themselves.
Hollywood believes, as does Hillary, that The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, U.S. News & World Report, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS and NPR are all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy to malign the saintly Clintons.
My father was going through some health problems last year and I had to take him to the hospital several times and wait in the emergency room intake area. These visits were at night, and on each occasion they had a television tuned to Kimmel. Despite being there for some very important matters, and having distractions like serious emergencies being rolled by, one thing that broke through my perception was how awfully far things had fallen since the level of Johnny Carson. There is a lot of $hit on late nite television, Kimmel may be the epitome. Sad.
