Bill Maher Shows Solidarity with Jimmy Kimmel Amidst ABC Controversy
In a poignant moment during his latest episode of Real Time, Bill Maher reached out to fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, reflecting on their shared experiences with network controversies. Maher’s comments came after Kimmel found himself embroiled in a social media uproar, drawing attention to the shifting landscape of late-night television.
While addressing the audience, Maher recalled a significant incident from his own past. He stated, “It was 24 years to the day that I made comments on ABC that got me canceled from that network, and Jimmy Kimmel took my slot.” With a blend of humor and seriousness, he added, “Oh yes, I got canceled before cancel culture even had a name.” These reflections resonated not only with Kimmel’s situation but also highlighted the evolving dynamics of media accountability.
