Speaker 1 (00:03):
Kalaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hello, this is the Saturday Afternoon Bonus episode about Jimmy Kimmel.
The normal Saturday episode is earlier in this feed. And
I'm Johnny Mack, and you know it's a big story
if I came inside on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Oh,
it's so nice. President Trump went on truth Social and
he asked whatever happened to the very highly overrated David Letterman,
(00:31):
whose ratings were never very good either. He looks like hell,
but at least he knew want to quit loser losers
in all caps with three exclamation points. So I took
some umbrage with this comment. Whatever you think of David Letterman,
perhaps you find him unfunny, perhaps you were disappointed in
him when he admitted to some affairs. But I think
(00:51):
if we look at David Letterman's body of work and
his current position as an elder statesman, I don't think
loser is a fair description of David Letterman. But to
answer the President's question, whatever happened to David Letteran, Well,
mister President, David was at the Atlantic Fest earlier this
week and he had this to say.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Well, this is a misery and in the world of
somebody who was an authoritarian, maybe a dictatorship. Sooner or later,
everyone is going to be touched. But this is me.
For thirty years. I did this for a living, so
I see this happen. They took care of Colbert. That
was rude, that was inexcusable. The man deserves a great
(01:32):
deal of credit. He's in the Hall of Fame nine times.
And to be manipulated like that because the Ellison family,
I didn't want to trouble Donald Trump with this move,
so they got rid of him, not only got rid
of him, got rid of the whole franchise. You're not
gonna have to worry about anything, Larry, it's all gone.
It's fine, good night. And then my good friend Jimmy Kimmel,
(01:53):
you know, I just I feel bad about this because
we all see where this is going correct media, and
it's no good. It's silly, it's ridiculous. And you can't
go around firing somebody because you're fearful or trying to
suck up to an authoritarian, criminal administration in the Oval office.
(02:17):
That's just not how this worked. Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan,
George Bush Senior, Bill Clinton, George Bush, the second Barack Obama. Yeah, right,
and attack these men mercilessly. Never once. Well, Jimmy Carter
not so much, because what can you say about Jimmy Carter.
(02:37):
He was just a sweet guy. But everybody else we
really went to work on. And I can remember Bill Clinton,
we really went to work on. And then it got
so it was like, whoa, this is a gift. What
are we going to do Bill Clinton? He's out of
office after eight years of Bill Clinton. And then George
Bush came along and it was easy motoring after that.
(03:00):
But the point is beating up on these people, rightly
or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedy.
Not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency,
let alone the dreaded FCC Republican Democrat.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Never.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Well, I will say we probably went easy on Barack
Obama because I kind of like the guy.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
But never a call from the White House.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Never intimation.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, because everybody sort of understood. In the name of humor,
in the name of commenting on what's going on in
the world cultural events, why not. And by the way,
the institution of the President of the United States ought
to be bigger than a guy doing a talk show.
Here's the thing that's up my nose these days. By god,
we got to get to work on those midterms. I
(03:48):
think the midterm elections will be elections in name only.
I'm sorry. The Republicans have raised untold billions of dollars.
The Democrats, I think are figgering a bit behind in
terms of fundraising.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
From People Magazine, a Jimmy Kimmelive employee has said, we're
just hoping that we're gonna hear something soon, and hopefully
it's good. The employee hopes for some sort of peaceful
resolution and says they're not ready to admit it's over.
We don't know anything. We're all on standby. Jimmy and
the producers have had to keep this close to the vest.
It was very quick and very shocking. It was a
(04:24):
big shock to everybody. CE and N reports that Kimmel's
staff will continue to be paid for the time being. Well,
that's good, at least through next week. There's a staff
of between two hundred and two hundred and fifty individuals.
During the WGA strike in twenty twenty three, Jimmy Kimmel
provided funds for his crew while production on the show
was haunted when production was shut down during the LA wildfires,
(04:48):
Kimmel used his Hollywood backlot as a donation center to
collect and distribute resources to those impacted by the disaster.
Unclear at this time is what's going to happen to
the Brooklyn broadcast. Jimmy kis was going to do his
show pretty soon from Brooklyn. Sources told Rolling Stone that
the trucks containing these shows staging were due to leave
(05:09):
Los Angeles on Friday in order to make the cross
country trek to New York City. One industry insider estimates
to relocate the show for five days it costs more
than five million dollars. There were some social media pictures
of what appeared to be the Hollywood crew packing up
some gears. So we'll see if Jimmy returns, and if
Jimmy returns, will he return in Brooklyn. Codo O'Brien on
(05:29):
Twitter wrote, the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel and the promise
to silence other late night hosts for criticizing the administration
should disturb everyone on the right, left and center. It's wrong,
and anyone with a conscience knows it's wrong. Tim Dillon
on Instagram, Jimmy Kimmel should still be on the air.
It's wrong to pretend it's because the show sucked or
because it was losing eyeballs and money, both true. Clearly
(05:50):
it was a politically motivated hit job. The joke was
pretty mild factually wrong, as in, the guy who shot
Charlie Maga wasn't a Maga guy. But who cares? That
doesn't matter. Anyone who cares about the ability to speak
freely for a living should be disturbed by this. They
should also be disturbed by people celebrating the assassination of
a political opponent, no matter what you thought of his views.
I'll chime in there. I've said many times, no one
(06:11):
should be murdered. As for the Kimmel joke, I won't
play it again because I played it like four times
in the last couple shows, and you go back and
grab it there. I don't think Kimmel's words were phrased
as sharply as the intention. And as I said on
the Letterman podcast the other day, you talking to Mike
long enough, you're gonna go back and wish you had
said something more clearly. I do that every single day
(06:32):
on this podcast. But if you listen to what Kimmel said,
what kim was saying was that the politicians were making
clear that the alleged assassin was not a Maga guy.
And that's just what Tim Dillon is saying there. You're
actually aligned with the words that actually were said by
Jimmy Kimmel. I think people were reading into it a
suggestion that Kimmel was hinting that the person was a
(06:55):
Maga guy, But that's not what actually You know what,
let me play it. I'll just play the top.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Over the weekend with the Magga gang desperately trying to
characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other
than one of them, and everything they can to score
political points from it.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So if you want to parse language there, that's what
Jimmy said. Andrew Schultz on Instagram posted this. It is
believed it is in reference to Jimmy Kimmel. Schultz Left
Fascism is wrong unless you kill our political opponents, then
we'll celebrate it. Right, cancel culture is wrong unless you
cancel the shows of our political opponents, then we'll celebrate it.
The vast majorities of Americans that I speak to are
(07:31):
repulsed by this behavior, Yet there's almost no representation of
the sentiment and media independent on mainstream. How is that possible?
Do you think Charlie Kirk would support canceling people for
exercising their free speech? Tom Sigora on social media. It's
so depressing that it's come to this point. Everything is
so divisive, and reactions to everything are only done in extremes. Now, personally,
I find the current state of affairs alarming. I wonder
(07:53):
who will run to do what Brendan Carr suggests next.
Brendan Carr is the FCC chair. Jimmy Kimmel is a
great dude. The Hollywood Reporter noted that Joe Rogan has
not commented yet. It is two twenty three pm on Saturday,
September twentieth, and I have googled Rogan a few times
and I have not seen any comments from Joe Rogan
on this. Bill Moore commented on it. Here's his comments.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
ABC stands for Always Be Caving. Jimmy Paw, I am
with you, I support you, and on the bright side,
you don't have to pretend any more that you like Disneyland.
You did a great funny show for two decades. You
should be proud of that. If this firing goes for
you the way it did for me, you'll get twenty
three years on a better network.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
More went on to say, now Trump is going after
the New York Times. He sued them for fifteen billion dollars.
He said, they're a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party. You
know what, non they are. You're right, and that's their
right to be that. Like, there's not a thousand people
on the right who are your mouthpiece. Okay, that's how
we work in this country. Brian kill Meat. If you're like,
who's that, I've heard of this, Brian kill mead, I'll
(08:57):
remind you. On September tenth, Brian kill me He was
on the Fox News channel. The discussion was what do
we do with people who have mental illness and refused
to accept help from publicly funded resources. The guests suggested
that people should be locked up in jail. Brian killmea
to jumped in and said, or involuntary lethal injection or something.
(09:18):
Just kill him. Brian kill Meat is still employed by
Fox News and no one has removed him from air.
He has commented on Jimmy Kimmel, saying the point is
that Kimmel's comments went way too far for some television executives,
not for me, not for you, but for them, and
they turned up the heat on Kimmel, the host to
calm down the rhetoric. You know, perhaps we shouldn't give
homeless people involuntary lethal injection. Think about that for a second, guys. Okay,
(09:43):
I digress, Sorry, back to Kimmel. Senator Ted Cruz chimed in.
He was discussing FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's actions. Senator Ted
cru said, that's right out of Goodfellas. What he Carr said,
they're as dangerous as hell, and so we think the
retons explicitly we're going to cancel ABC's license. We're going
to take them off the air so ABC cannot broadcast anymore.
(10:06):
He says, we can do this the easy way, or
it could do this the hard way. Yeah, And I
got to say, that's right out of Goodfellas. Keith Oberman
pointed out, it's actually right out of a nineteen sixty
nine Monty Python sketch where two gentlemen make some implied
threats to a military general. A very funny sketch. Senator Cruz,
using a mobster voice of sorts, went on to say,
that's right in mafiaoso coming into a bar, going nice
(10:28):
barria have here. It'd be a shame if something happened
to it. That's the Python part of it. Senator Cruz added,
going down this road, there will come a time when
a Democrat wins again, wins the White House. They will
silence us. They will use this power, and they will
use it ruthlessly, and that is dangerous. Paton Oswald chimed
in on social media from an airport, this is a
little lengthy, but I'm gonna let it for the most
(10:49):
part go minor edits here adding.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
To the wall of voices that's saying we see what's happening.
I know can help in times like this, So we
we see what's happening. I think everybody sees what's happening,
except the people that are benefiting from this. We're pretending
like they don't see what's happening. I'm gonna try to
make this coherent and quick. It's gonna be neither, I
(11:16):
was thinking, so Isaac Asimov, already we're off on a tangent.
Isaac Asimov said that there's only three science fiction plots,
what if, if only, and if this goes on, And
unfortunately we are at the dark end of if this
goes on, that line that when we crossed it, we're
(11:37):
all supposed to rise up. That's way way behind us.
So we can't just stand up anymore. We gotta get
We've got to roar up, screaming and link arms all
of us there. This thing is coming for all of us.
This is a ancient evil that is shooting. It shot
right now. It sees its window, and it's it's taking.
(11:59):
It's trying again. It's always going to try. We're always
going to have to fight it. This is our time
to fight it. And and please, I can already see
in that. I can already see in the comments, imagine
in the comment from going, oh you're this West Coast Elite,
I'm I'm in the airport right now. I'm traveling to
Austin today. I was in Raleigh last week. I'll be
(12:20):
in Ohio. Next month, I'll be in Milwaukee. I'll be
in Wisconsin next I travel all over the country. I
love traveling this country. I love this country, and I
love meeting all the people here and I meet people
every day every weekend doing comedy, and I know, I know,
I know this is not what they voted for. They
(12:41):
maybe they thought they were voting for something else. I
know this is not what they were voting for. And
everyone that's been saying, oh, I support in Trumpet, this
is what I'm this is what I voted for. Well,
now's your time to actually show that. Okay, please please.
This is an awesome country. This is an awesome country,
and we're handing it over to frightened, short sighted me.
(13:06):
I don't even know what these what these people are.
We're handing it over to the wrong people.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And Emmy winner James Woods has chimed into his five
million Twitter followers. Woods wrote, We've all made jokes at
Jimmy Kimmel's expense, but mister Kimmel is a fellow artist,
and in fact, I'm heartbroken to see the way he's
been treated. I believe he is and his heart as
a heart. It's a good and decent fellow, devoid of
malice and hate. Just kidding, Jimbo eat crap, he used
(13:33):
the S word there. On Friday, James Woods responded to
the Stephen Colbert line tonight, we are all Jimmy Kimmel.
Woods wrote, He's right, you're all douchebags. James Woods on Twitter,
and that is your bonus episode. Okay, next thing in
the feed will be Sunday morning. It'll be a normal episode,
and there will be a Sunday afternoon Jimmy Kimmel bonus episode.
(13:55):

To the wall of voices that's saying we see what's happening.
I know can help in times like this, So we
we see what's happening. I think everybody sees what's happening,
except the people that are benefiting from this. We're pretending
like they don't see what's happening. I'm gonna try to
make this coherent and quick. It's gonna be neither, I
(11:16):
was thinking, so Isaac Asimov, already we're off on a tangent.
Isaac Asimov said that there's only three science fiction plots,
what if, if only, and if this goes on, And
unfortunately we are at the dark end of if this
goes on, that line that when we crossed it, we're
(11:37):
all supposed to rise up. That's way way behind us.
So we can't just stand up anymore. We gotta get
We've got to roar up, screaming and link arms all
of us there. This thing is coming for all of us.
This is a ancient evil that is shooting. It shot
right now. It sees its window, and it's it's taking.
(11:59):
It's trying again. It's always going to try. We're always
going to have to fight it. This is our time
to fight it. And and please, I can already see
in that. I can already see in the comments, imagine
in the comment from going, oh you're this West Coast Elite,
I'm I'm in the airport right now. I'm traveling to
Austin today. I was in Raleigh last week. I'll be
(12:20):
in Ohio. Next month, I'll be in Milwaukee. I'll be
in Wisconsin next I travel all over the country. I
love traveling this country. I love this country, and I
love meeting all the people here and I meet people
every day every weekend doing comedy, and I know, I know,
I know this is not what they voted for. They
(12:41):
maybe they thought they were voting for something else. I
know this is not what they were voting for. And
everyone that's been saying, oh, I support in Trumpet, this
is what I'm this is what I voted for. Well,
now's your time to actually show that. Okay, please please.
This is an awesome country. This is an awesome country,
and we're handing it over to frightened, short sighted me.
(13:06):
I don't even know what these what these people are.
We're handing it over to the wrong people.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And Emmy winner James Woods has chimed into his five
million Twitter followers. Woods wrote, We've all made jokes at
Jimmy Kimmel's expense, but mister Kimmel is a fellow artist,
and in fact, I'm heartbroken to see the way he's
been treated. I believe he is and his heart as
a heart. It's a good and decent fellow, devoid of
malice and hate. Just kidding, Jimbo eat crap, he used
(13:33):
the S word there. On Friday, James Woods responded to
the Stephen Colbert line tonight, we are all Jimmy Kimmel.
Woods wrote, He's right, you're all douchebags. James Woods on Twitter,
and that is your bonus episode. Okay, next thing in
the feed will be Sunday morning. It'll be a normal episode,
and there will be a Sunday afternoon Jimmy Kimmel bonus episode.
