JUSTICE: After Kimmel helped cancel Roseanne seven years ago, Roseanne has stepped up as Kimmel himself appears to be in the process of cancellation due to another lie….Video

ABC has made the decision to take “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air indefinitely following an outright lie about Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin being a supporter of President Donald Trump — and not a single person should feel sorry for the host.
Jimmy Kimmel has made a point to gloat and celebrate when other TV personalities have lost their jobs: What goes around comes around, Jimmy.
In 2018, Kimmel disingenuously framed actor and star of “Roseanne” Roseanne Barr’s tweet about former senior advisor to Barack Obama Valerie Jarrett as a racially charged remark, given that Jarrett is a black woman.
For her tweet about Jarrett, Barr’s reboot of her popular sitcom was canceled.
“Roseanne, you’re not going to believe this, but she tweeted something outrageous,” Kimmel said smugly.
“ABC decided to cancel their highest rated show ‘Roseanne’ following a tweet in which Roseanne compared an African-American woman, a former advisor to President Obama to an ape, which did not sit well with ABC management or anyone with a brain, really.”
Kimmel carried the joke further with clips of “Roseanne” where Barr was not in the scene, poking fun that ABC could just continue the show without her, naming it “Dan” after her co-star John Goodman’s character, Dan Connor.
The offending tweet, which has since been deleted, can be viewed below:
Later in 2023, Kimmel would gloat about journalist and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson being fired.
