Folks, pull up a chair and pop some popcorn because today’s episode of the “Liberal Hypocrisy Show” stars none other than late-night funny man Jimmy Kimmel. In a twist that only the political world could script, Kimmel finds himself caught in his own web of cancel culture calamity. After returning to the airwaves, he was missing from many ABC stations, all thanks to a family feud of sorts—the Kirk family—and the free market having a little say in things.
Now, here’s where it gets comical. The same guy who cheered from the sidelines as Roseanne Barr and Tucker Carlson packed their bags following deplatforming is now crying foul about being silenced himself. Imagine our surprise when Joe Rogan—the comedic heavyweight and voice of reason—pointed out this juicy slice of irony. Rogan, with his signature no-nonsense style, practically rang the hypocrisy bell loud enough for the whole country to hear.
Jimmy’s tale doesn’t end with a rerun of irony, though. His comedy—or lack thereof—has, at times, taken shots at the unvaccinated, suggesting they skip hospital lines because, apparently, jokes about refusing healthcare is a hilarious skit in his show. This, while he himself roots for the removal of conservative voices and laughs along the way. It’s quite the trick to juggle the role of victim while also holding the proverbial ax.
This brings us to Joe Rogan’s little eye-opener about how private companies like ABC have the right to decide whom they air. Love it or hate it, that’s the trivia of a free market. But when the government gets too cozy with social media giants to censor, there’s trouble in paradise—or at least trouble for those of us who like our freedoms intact.
And oh, the sweet suggestions floating around for Joe Rogan to replace Kimmel! Imagine the drama and laughs rolling in if a no-holds-barred comedic powerhouse took the late-night throne. See, what goes around, really does come around. Jimmy, take note—those who live by the cancel sword may very well perish by it.
So here we are, sipping our soda, watching the ironies unfold, all while remembering to appreciate the free market’s whimsical way of balancing the scoreboard. Whoever said late-night TV was dying sure wasn’t watching this sitcom play out. Tune in next time for another episode in the land of late-night mischief and liberal irony.
