And I am sure he will have many opportunities.

He is a class act.

But Disney could have contractual ways to keep Jimmy locked up, off the air and offline.
There might be an epic legal battle… or not. We will soon see.

And Disney will surely shrink… in stature, in sponsors, in revenue and brand.
What a dumb move.

I read, is that ABC? If so it will be harder for him to sue them.

will follow him there.

He’ll have much more freedom and control over his content.

Late night tv where he was is a dead zone.

"Sinclair has vowed to “not lift the suspension of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability,” the company said in a press release. Even if ABC opts to restart production on the series, “Sinclair intends not to return ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.”"
