Oh yes we are all angels and have never done any wrong in our childhood. Bunch of Hypocrites. Grow up and move on.

He won’t get canceled—for the same reason Trudeau doesn’t— they are racist but can “ talk the talk when necessary. —Trudeau can play cowboys and Indians too! As long as your good with the communist lie— it’s OK

Other people had their shows cancelled. Why doesn't Jimmy? 🤔

Put a fork in him he is done

FIRE HIM!

Not good enough

The left always eat their own.

alfranken got burned over the same “prolaterized” complaint, and he still goes strong for his side. I don’t feel sorry for him.

Kimmel reaping wha he has sown, one of the leaders of the mob and it has now turned on him and come to burn his shot down, glorious. Live by the sword die by the swords eh Kimmel.

Ah for gods sake-hes a human being impersonating another human being- I think it's more racist to point it out. In a sketch can a woman not play a man, straight play a gay person. Sighted not play a blind person. Tall v short. Fat v thin. Smart v stupid. Rich v poor

😂

Racist

jimmykimmel jimmyfallon both need to be fired! You fired megynkelly for just talking about it...she never did it. Come on nbc & ABCNetwork do what’s right! FIRE KIMMEL & FALLON! What they said & did is racist & disgusting!

Hopefully that will be the end of the matter!

The Blues Brothers at 40: a manic musical romp that still sings todayJohn Landis struck gold with his madcap 1980 comedy, a masterpiece of choreographed destruction with a killer soundtrack Any immigrant who commits a serious, or any violent crime, should on completion of their sentence be deported, or held in detention until such time as they can be deported. There should be no appeals process for this. No sob stories. No more chances. Besides the set pieces and music, the dialogue is stilted and the humour falls really flat. Never quite understood the love for it Now I feel old.
