Trump Claims ABC Paid Millions to 'Arm' Kimmel, Disney Puts Show on Pause
In a plot twist that sounds like the script for a reality show crossover episode, Donald Trump accused late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmelâs show of being an âarm of the DNCââapparently ABC flashing hundreds of millions wasnât enough proof of allegiance. Following pressure from the Trump administration, Disney hit the pause button indefinitely on Kimmelâs show, until brave boomer Disney boycotters flexed their wrath hard enough to get him back on air. On Sept 22, 2025, Stephen Colbert celebrated this 'long national late-nightmare is over,' confirming what we all suspected: late nights without Kimmel is like Netflix without memesâtragically empty. Somewhere, corporate lawsuits for defamation quietly chuckle.

If late-night TV was any more political, weâd need passports to watch. Trump calls ABCâs millions a bribeâmeanwhile, Disneyâs just glad cutting Kimmel off didnât also cut their shareholder bonuses.
Trump calling Kimmel an arm of the DNC paid by ABC sounds like a bad sitcom plot, but at least someoneâs laughingâin late night, if not at Trumpâs expense yet.
