All of it started with tears.
The host “Jimmy Kimmel Stay!” cried in entrance of a dwell viewers the night time after the Nov. 5 presidential election. Kimmel welled up after sharing a litany of fear-mongering woes tied to Donald Trump’s electoral victory.
Sure, that’s the identical comedian who regarded the opposite method when Staff Biden silenced dissent, weaponized lawfare in opposition to its political opponents and handed Afghanistan again to the Taliban.
No tears then. And he wasn’t finished blubbering.
Jimmy Kimmel actually cries over the actual fact Trump has been rightfully important of Gavin Newsom and his woke management in California and Los Angeles which have allowed wildfires to rage.

Kimmel cried anew over the devastating California fires, however not over the ache and struggling felt by the locals. His tears got here when recalling President-Elect Trump’s response to the carnage.
The officers who made the issue exponentially worse received a cross.
His fellow late-nighter picked up that theme, ignoring Democratic incompetence to assault Trump, the one that had nothing to do with the fires. All Trump did was blast native leaders and warn their insurance policies may result in devastation.

Kimmel and co. ignored LA Mayor Karen Bass’ gargantuan URL gaffe, a gift-wrapped current to any third-rate satirist.
Late-night exhibits have solely gotten worse since then.
Take the primary Faux Information story of 2025 – Elon Musk made a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration gala. It’s preposterous on the floor or any method you slice it. The tech mogul has fought at no cost speech and just lately visited a former Nazi loss of life camp alongside Jewish podcaster Ben Shapiro.
Musk is famously awkward and describes himself as being on the Autism spectrum. He routinely makes gestures that show it.
The gesture in query got here with this assertion, “My coronary heart goes out to you.”
Worst. Nazi. Ever.
Inform that to late-night propagandists, who adopted the corrupt media’s result in make this non story a part of their comedian repertoire.
“Wow, that positive regarded like what it was,” Colbert quipped. “Now, I don’t know if Musk meant to do a Nazi salute. He says he’s not a Nazi, however what I do know is individuals who aren’t Nazis know keep away from doing a Nazi salute.”
He wasn’t finished.
“For the final 80 years of human historical past, there are solely a few acceptable positions for a totally prolonged arm, OK? It goes: pet the pet, tousle your nephew’s hair, and hail a cab. OK? In between nephew down right here and hail a cab up right here, that is referred to as the hazard zone. All people is aware of that!”
How do you clarify this, then?
Good morning to everybody besides Nazi AOC.

Not less than Jon Stewart, who prides himself on being a reduce above his fellow late-night liberals, didn’t totally embrace the Faux Information angle. He additionally didn’t mock those that pretended Musk really carried out a Nazi salute.
That’s one of the best we will count on from late-night “humorists” in Trump 2.0.

Kimmel admitted previous to the election that he wasn’t emotionally able to course of a Kamala Harris loss. Possibly that’s why he’s nonetheless embracing the Russian Collusion Hoax.
Kimmel “honored” Trump’s twentieth wedding ceremony anniversary to First Woman Melania Trump by peddling that lie anew. He mentioned the Commander in Chief celebrated the milestone by posting “a protracted love letter to Vladimir Putin and Russia.”
Does he want an intervention or perhaps a “facility” check-in a la Rob Reiner?
Seth Meyers is quietly the most partisan host of the bunch. He described President Trump’s inauguration speech as, “An unsettling low-energy mixture of ominous fascism and bizarre s*** that nobody besides Donald Trump and his minions even care about.”
What was fascistic about it? Who is aware of? Who cares? It’s only a phrase Leftists toss round. The identical hosts ignored the “Police State”-style actions of the earlier administration, exhibiting it’s all smoke and mirrors meant for scores.
However what scores?
Late-Evening TV is in decline. “The Tonight Present” axed its Friday episodes late final yr. “Late Evening with Seth Meyers” can not afford its home band.
The exhibits collectively draw a fraction of the income they as soon as did.
And the format’s upstart, Fox Information’ “Gutfeld!” routinely trumps them within the scores. Sure, Greg Gutfeld’s present airs at 10 p.m. ET, but it surely’s additionally on cable TV which has far fewer viewers than broadcast channels.
It’s solely January, however late-night TV has already hit new lows. Will the hosts begin chasing away its loyal progressive flock?
Keep tuned.
