I am "less celebratory" about Kimmel coming back and "more pissed off" that it happened at all [View all]

Yes. Of course it is good news that he's coming back. And one aspect of this that may have been under-reported (and it IS a COVER YOUR ASS MOVE by ABC / Disney) is that his CREW was reportedly paid through the downtime.

But the reason I'm not doing the happy dance and popping champagne corks is that this never should have happened in the first place.

It's like any form of abuse. Once the abuser stops, there is obviously relief, but that doesn't wipe away the abuse.

And I don't give a flying fuck about Trump's "I AM YOUR RETRIBUTION" campaign bullshit. We KNEW that when John Roberts anointed him as the Christ Child 2025, he'd be a non-stop asshole.

So yeah, welcome back Jimmy, BUT I'M STILL PISSED THAT THIS HAPPENED and the network relenting DOESN'T WIPE AWAY THE STENCH.
