Little Jimmy Kimmel thought he was bigger than Disney, bigger than Mickey Mouse.""Charlie Kirk's body hasn't even been buried, and ABC affiliates are refusing to air his show.

You're costing us a fortune,'" Watters added.Jimmy Kimmel reportedly wanted to focus on the MAGA backlash during his next monologueAccording to a Deadline report, dated September 17, 2025, Jimmy Kimmel was reportedly going to direct his focus on MAGA during his Wednesday monologue and had no plans to apologize for his original comments.
