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.

Having to take an interview online with Talarico and then putting this trash eater on tv kinda gives away exactly who Kimmel is working for too, whether or not he likes it. Just another part of the smoke and mirror show I guess.

This right here. In all the smoke and mirrors of the US right now, it's hard to remember that people like Kimmel, despite the public support when the government steps in to try and quell their speech, are still not on the side of the people. They are owned like every other famous person.

Eyes Wide Shut was a documentary. The Weinstein industry is just another head of the Epstein hydra. It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.

Way ahead of you. I've been boycotting him for decades. Everytime I hear about him I have to put in effort to remember who or which one he is. I've unfortunately learned who he is through social media osmosis. Late night tv is so ducking boring.
