Jimmy Kimmel almost quit his talk show after network wanted to pull Trump jokes

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Jimmy Kimmel has said he had a moment where he contemplated quitting Jimmy Kimmel Live! after ABC executives expressed concern over his Donald Trump jokes.

The 54-year-old has hosted the long-running show in which he quizzes A-list celebrities, including US president Joe Biden, and performs skits for nearly two decades.

Notable hilarious segments in the show include Mean Tweets where stars read out the most savage comments about them written on the internet and respond, as well as the YouTube challenge, where viewers are asked to film themselves pranking a family member.

The veteran broadcaster normally opens the late-night show with a gag-filled monologue and while former The Apprentice host Donald Trump was president, he was the butt of many of Jimmy’s jokes.
