In a reality-show-level plot twist straight outta 2025, FCC Chief Brendan Carr—handpicked by Donald Trump—ordered Disney to KTFO Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show faster than you can say 'court cleric.' Hours after Carr’s 'take action on Kimmel' tweet, Disney yanked Kimmel off air, with Nexstar and Sinclair owning ABC affiliates crying in their shareholder meetings earlier. Meanwhile, Trump, flexing like a political Hulk, demanded NBC cancel Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers too, proving his reign is less 'second term' and more 'Wild West reboot.' Remember, Disney paid Trump $16M in 2024 to settle a defamation suit, setting the ultimate bribe benchmark!
