"BRIAN KILMEADE: There are reports from the Daily Mail that Jimmy Kimmel is absolutely effing livid and is considering going on lame duck late night show, Stephen Colbert's show, for a guest slot so they can collectively perhaps whine about the situations they find themselves in. Now, Bloomberg is just reporting now that Disney executives are discussing the future of the show with Kimmel himself. So all this might even work out. The president, by the way, was asked overseas. He had nothing to do with this, but he was asked about it. And he thought, too, he had a thing or two to say about Kimmel and his future."
"PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else, and he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk. And Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad ratings, and they should have fired him a long time ago. So you know, you can call that free speech or not. He was fired for lack of talent."
President Donald Trump repeatedly claimed Jimmy Kimmel was fired for lack of talent and bad ratings, citing a remark about Charlie Kirk. Jimmy Kimmel was not fired, and official explanations for the show's suspension did not mention talent or ratings. Fox News host Brian Kilmeade defended the suspension amid reported FCC intimidation from Brendan Carr while explicitly acknowledging that Kimmel is talented. Bloomberg reported that Disney executives are discussing the show's future with Kimmel. Reports indicated Kimmel considered appearing on Stephen Colbert's show and was reportedly angry about the situation.
