Jimmy Kimmel Ghosted by ABC: Free Speech or ‘Jawboning’ Soap Opera?

In a plot twist juicier than a late-night monologue, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's show indefinitely. Free speech nerds call this classic 'jawboning' — aka government officials cozying up to networks and whispering 'quiet now.' This isn’t just a casual vibe check; it’s a full-on silent treatment in the middle of prime time. The precise dates or dollar amounts remain as mysterious as Jimmy’s chin hair choices, but the message is clear: when Big Brother goes phone-home to Big Broadcast, even late-night lateness isn’t immune. Consider this the ‘cancel culture’ square dance where nobody gets to call out the caller.
