Yeah I never understood how he became the host of a late night show? He always exuded sidekick energy. Just a chubby dumpy looking guy whose there to make the host look good .
Comment on The man show was a left wing attack on incels.

Jimmy Kimmel has always portrayed himself as a dirt bag. I don’t understand how he made it on TV.

You can’t base your opinions of people by the performances you see. Or you will constantly be surprised like you are right now. Entertainment is all lies. Everyone is fake and just trying to get a paycheck when they start out on screen.
Also people do change and do learn from the things they did in the past, not everyone, and much less when you after a fundie trad biggot, but effect and if them do actually become reasonable people.
But you will never know the person Jimmy Kimmel is unless you are someone who gets to regularly see him when the cameras aren’t on.
That’s a lesson entirely too many people need to learn. You don’t know shit about even some of the people closest to you, why do you think you know a good damned thing about some person that’s always in front of a camera?
Go ask a grand parent, an auntie or uncle, a parent, your best friend, your favourite teacher, what was the worst thing they ever did to someone else?
You probably don’t know what they would say, and they probably won’t tell you

This show is the reason I have always dislike him.
He was kind of funny on “Win Ben Stein’s Money”, so I initially looked forward to this show.
But then I watched it and it kind of pissed me off. Like, is this what a “man” is supposed to be? A sexist douchebag with a terrible sense of humor.
It was a TERRIBLE show. Glorified womanizing and binge drinking.
Despite what he says now, that was who he was. He shouldn’t have had a career after that.
But he’s just a talking head. He doesn’t write his material, he just reads teleprompters and has celebrity friends.

The Man Show really turned me off to him, and I ignored his late night show for a long time. Then I started watching him when his son was having medical issues, and he started talking about the health insurance problems in America, and I realized he was a decent man with similar views to mine.
Actors/ Entertainers have to scratch & claw at the beginning of their careers, and it’s hard to walk away from a regular paycheck. The experience he got on that awful show allowed him to do a great job on a really good show, so perhaps it was worth it.
I’m sure he cringes at MAN Showe memories, too.

You may be right.
I only have time for one show though, and for now, that is Colbert.
I do think what happened to JK is beyond fucked up and it is just another peg on my radicalization meter.

But Colbert got fired so what’s your show now?
