It took awhile. I couldn't do it on their site so I Googled something like "Contact a live person at Hulu" and was able to have a text chat with someone who was very nice and helped me cancel.

He asked me why and I wrote Jimmy Kimmel. Immediately, a kind of disclaimer statement came up that tried to excuse Hulu from the decision. It was ready to go. I still canceled and praised the chat person for his professionalism and kindness. I told him that I hope he wasn't being watched by Corporate and he thanked me for caring.
