A Jimmy Kimmel staffer revealed during an interview with Rick Ellis, published Friday, that they don’t see a scenario in which the late-night show returns.
“I want to think it will. But I can’t imagine a scenario in which that happens. Even if Jimmy was willing to publicly apologize and donate money to whatever ghoulish conservative group that is demanding it… MAGA people will never be happy. It will never be enough,” the staffer told Ellis in an interview for his “Too Much TV” newsletter.
The staffer said they weren’t necessarily surprised the show was pulled.
“I had zero faith that any of the network execs had the slightest bit of stones to stand up for their employees. I mean, yeah, I was surprised it happened that specific day. But you could see it coming. Every time some MAGA a–hat would spout off about the show, the knot in my stomach just got tighter,” they said.
“I don’t think they had a point. The Trump folks are like that crooked cop who wants to pull over a driver and waits until they make some slight mistake. ‘Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Black Guy, you didn’t come to a complete stop and look both ways at that last stop sign.’ That’s our show. We were always a running stop away from unemployment,” the staffer told Ellis.
The staffer added that everything around Kimmel’s show had “sucked,” and said that Kimmel had gotten a lot of “threats and attention” from Trump supporters in recent years.
The staffer said working for Kimmel had been great, but went on to criticize Disney.
“Because it was becoming increasingly clear in recent weeks that Sir Iger and the ABC executives would cut us loose in a second if they thought something we did might hurt attendance at Disney World or cost anyone their annual bonus,” the staffer said.
Disney did not immediately return a request for comment.
