Should be fun to see that first monologue. I hope he roasts the shit out of them all for all their stupidity.

I have very little faith in our liberal late night hosts in shaking the boat very much.
I mean, he never even said anything actually controversial in the first place.
I hope I'm wrong, I hope the first thing he says is "Fuck Trump the Fascist! Retake the white house! End the genocide in Gaza!" and then gets turned off immediately, because he's going to have a LOT of people watching him. He has an opportunity to say something shocking and lasting and he will still retire with wealth and respect.
But I am not holding my breath.
edit: yeah it was pretty tepid. Good on him for showing emotion and compassion and trying to be unifying, it will look "alright" in the history books, but he lost a chance to utterly denounce Trumpism and the right's war on the social contract.
Exactly, his comments where really tame and had less to do with Charlie Kirk and more to do with MAGA then anything.
Colbert has been great since his cancellation… although tbh I haven’t watched the late show since he moved. I was salty about the Colbert character retiring… which apparently he came back.
"I'd like yo thank my fans for costing the mouse more than trumps bribe would have"
"His Tuesday night monologue is expected to be critical of President Donald Trump, CNN's Brian Stelter reported."
Hard-hitting journalism from CNN there...
"We further expect the sun will be down on Tuesday night, making the sky dark. There is also a strong possibility it will be raining somewhere on planet Earth at the time."
Hahaha they caved. Disney’s more afraid of the shareholders than they are of the FCC. Suck it, Trump!
You can always buy a new FCC head
The classic dilemma they teach in business school. Is it worth it to alienate the customers we need to sustain our business so that we can appease a treasonous child raping shit bag that will continually shake us down for more cash, especially if we easily fold and show we won't put up a fight?
There's no way Disney is going to pay 'less' under Trump. The fact that they couldn't realize that from an Au away is mind boggling

Down with MAGA!
I hope it's a fucking carpet bombing of a monologue.
Well this should chap taco's ass. Hope Jimmy doesn't give one cent to them either! Or maybe just 2cents. That is a donation of meaning...
I'm going to continue my boycott until Iger & the board are replaced.
Same.
I’m boycotting until they reveal what’s under the half court in the Matterhorn.
He should have told them to fuck off then do a barnstorming tour like Conan
I get why he did what he did
He...himself is rich he's fine he knows this. Fuck part of me thinks a tiny little piece of him might have enjoyed the time off....and almost wished it'd last a bit longer who the hell knows.
However he knows he has staff that need the income from that job in order to provide for their families.
Conan paid his staff out of his own pocket during Covid. But it got no press. If Kimmel has the means he could send a powerful message.
Said this exact same thing the other day in a comment around here.
No way only I have the superior intellect for such insight!

I worry Mr Kimmel will have to make a big apology and sign some self-gag order, just to his team and crew can work.
It'll become super milquetoasty for a painful partial season before it dies of ratings.
I couldn't see Kimmel doing that at all.
If we see Kimmel dong during the episode, at least he will get fired for a legit reason

He should gild the stage like Stewart did. In fact all the late night hosts should just become parody Trump propaganda shows. I honestly think that would increase all their ratings and maximally piss Trump off.

Everyone should go watch John Oliver’s last show about this. I got chills when he said his last line. I won’t ruin it if you haven’t seen it.
...I don't see an apology included, so it sounds like Disney+ stays cancelled
An apology isn't good enough. The fascist-complying execs have to be fired.
As a shareholder, I agree. The boards actions show that their priorities don't align with shareholder profits, American ideals, or a worthwhile moral footing. In a just world, they would be stripped of all of their assets, and given a stipend to live in an apartment that can be afforded in the lowest paying wage their old company offered, doing that job, day in, and day out, until they reach the same retirement age everyone else has to, or the pension age, if the company has one(spoiler, they don't). Make them unable to accept money from outside accounts, and monitor their savings like you would a disabled person on Medicare. If they make too much, they go to prison, or have the extra seized.
Being a CEO who has the power of themselves as a person, and the power of a corporation as a ubiquitous person free of liability and direct punishment, it should be an incredibly high risk, high reward proposal. You want the the 100 million a year payout for a position, that literally anyone could do? Then fine, failure means becoming the lowest tier your company has. If anything you'll see higher wages across the board. It would be stupid to not hedge your bets
Cyber bullying works! Voting with your wallet works! Fuck the mouse!
The latter more than the former I think.
The sad thing is that now people think they should go back to Disney, as if the issue is gone now? As if removing the symptom takes away the illness. I say boycott forever. They showed their true colors.
I can't wait to see the meltdown on Truth Social.
(By the way, don't give that cesspool any traffic. Use https://www.trumpstruth.org/ instead.)
I wonder if this means Nextstar is going to air it. Or if they will continue blocking it on their channels.
Fuck'em. They have nothing to replace it with, and their viewers will cease.
So Disney backed down but FCC is still there. Will actually try to take away ABC's license?
ABC doesn’t hold a license, local broadcasters do.
unfortunately, they have been consolidated under one or two trump-friendly owners.

Good to see for Jimmy.
I hope he roasts them and ditches them at end of contract. If they bend this easy, they shall again.
"Shock reversal". Ehhhhhhhh, nah, we have brains and eyes lmao
So, I guess not indefinitely then?
Indefinitely can be defined as infinite/forever or unknown/unspecified.
Well, by definition, indefinitely mean a timeline that is not defined. It could have been indefinitely and back on the air later that night and still have been 'indefinitely' if that hadn't been decided beforehand.
I still wouldnt be watching. I'll just watch a YouTube clip that's uploaded by a third party not affiliated with Disney.
Disney let their mask slip. Kimmel returning is a joke and goes to show that he is doing this purely for the money. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't return and do a Conan-esque travel show. Let Disney swim in their pile of shit and have entertainers distance themselves from a fascist company.
Everything every corporation does is purely for money.
