Kimmel: Ratings Not Politics - September 18th, Hour 1
Sean Hannity breaks down ABC's decision to indefinitely pull Jimmy Kimmel's show, following controversial comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination and President Trump's reaction. Hannity frames Kimmel's exit as a business move due to "tanking ratings and lost ad revenue" rather than the result of conservative outrage or organized boycotts, despite claims from some political figures. Guest insights highlight the contrast between Kimmel's polarizing approach and traditional hosts like Jay Leno and Johnny Carson, who prioritized broad appeal over politics. This matters as it signals a shift in late-night TV, with entertainment value, not partisan attacks, emerging as the new priority for network survival.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
