American late-night host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel encountered significant public backlash following Thursday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which featured 'Israeli' actress Gal Gadot as a primary guest.

Gadot’s appearance on the show drew sharp criticism from pro-Palestine viewers and activists online, sparking calls to boycott the segment.

After all he’s done? He hasn’t done shit but be a crass entertainer to the masses. He started as a co-host of the toxic The Man Show and of Win Ben Stein’s Money. Getting paid an eight-figure salary to deliver zingers about Trump is no great sacrifice.

If he is so useless, why is MAGA fighting so hard to silence him, and his company?

19 times out of 20, Kimmel is one of the few on TV that is serving up harsh criticism on a DAILY basis. You would eliminate one of the few voices we have on TV because he spent 7 minutes promoting a film that everyone will forget about in 24 hours?

That's just a stupid, self-inflicted injury.
