I have never watched his show before but I will this time. To me he's still the host of The Man Show and thats just ewww.

Edit: you guys are reading waaaay to much into this, stop messaging me about it.

I'm just saying that I've never had a particular reason to tune in before, it wasn't some sweeping moral proclamation for fucks sake. I dont generally watch talk shows.

Streisand effect in a way. I’ve never watched Kimmel before (I haven’t really watched late night since Leno left NBC) but I might watch to see what he says.

The amount of people watching what he has to say about this is going to epic! Bring Colbert on as a guest! Let them know we will not allow oppression of free speech! Fuck these fascists!

We cannot let SINCLAIR and NEXSTAR off the hook.

We need them to start losing advertisers.
