DISNEY’S DANA WALDEN ON JIMMY KIMMEL’S LATE NIGHT FUTURE: “It’s a Challenging Daypart.”
Speculation about Jimmy Kimmel Live!‘s future has swirled since an early September Page Six story claimed Kimmel’s contract wouldn’t be renewed. ABC quickly denied that was the case, but other reports said the network is looking for significant budget cuts to keep the show going.
“The truth is, it’s a very challenging daypart,” Walden said Thursday at the Bloomberg event. “That’s not to say that Jimmy is not doing a phenomenal job, and his ratings are up. But they’re up relative to a smaller audience that’s watching late night on broadcast television.”
Kimmel and the show also have a big presence on YouTube and social media platforms, but those views and clicks bring in a fraction of the revenue that on-air advertising does. “That is not a lucrative opportunity for a very premium talk show,” said Walden.
As Stephen Krusier asked in May: Now That Colbert Is Gone, Can We Start the Clock on Kimmel? “Kimmel will no doubt use Colbert’s absence as an excuse to become more execrable than ever. ABC can keep him afloat for a while. The network is still a for-profit business, though, and not a weeknightly charity for the Democratic National Committee. ABC execs will almost certainly take a cue from their counterparts at CBS. Kimmel’s petulant attitude won’t do him any favors, either.”

JOHN NOLTE: Tom Cruise’s Global Warming Propaganda Digger About to Lose $100+ Million.
Here’s a movie designed in a Woke Lab to hit the sweet spot of critics…
- Evil white men.
- Evil businessmen.
- Oil bad.
- Global Warming/Climate Change is real (it’s not).
- All of this delivered by Hollywood’s biggest movie star.
…and what’s the result? A rotten 52 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes. And as I have said a thousand times, if left-wing critics pan a left-wing movie, that movie must suck like nothing has ever sucked in the kingdom of Suckdom, because these critics always-always-always grade on a curve for leftist propaganda.
Hilariously, as if to say Please-please-please David Ellison, buy us out before we destroy ourselves, Warner Bros. dropped $160 to $180 million into this bloated, anti-science lecture, and that does not include promotion costs, which probably lift it into the $250 million range. That puts break-even at right about $500 million worldwide.
And now it’s about to open wide all across America and, per the professional estimates, humiliate itself and its star with an $8 million to $12 million opening. If these projections hold, a movie made for no Normal Person could lose more than $100 million.
Meanwhile, Christian Toto spots more leftist propaganda that’s likely to flop: Jan. 6 Themed Social Reckoning Expected to Bomb at Box Office.
World of Reel shares a pointed reaction to the film and its subject matter:
January 6th eventually comes up, the entire film builds toward it. The film’s arc leads naturally to the suggestion that January 6th was, in part, a product of Facebook itself.
Sorkin has literally said the same thing on the record regarding Facebook and Jan. 6.
The problem?
Who will actually see the movie? Box office projections have “The Social Reckoning” opening to a very soft $6-$10 million on its opening weekend. The competition won’t be stiff.
The only other major new release is “Other Mommy,” a horror film starring Jessica Chastain.
Audiences may not want a lecture on Facebook’s alleged ills. They also won’t rally around a Jan. 6 movie, an issue that likely has exhausted Americans at this point in the culture.
That may explain why “The Social Reckoning” trailers leave out that fateful day.
Nolte used to call this Hollywood’s “liberal sucker punch.” They’re much harder for the industry to successfully pull off in the era of social media.

IF THEIR POLICIES ARE SO SOUND, WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LIE SO MUCH? Violent Crime May Be at Historic Lows, but Guess Where Anti-Gun Orgs Still Point the Finger of Blame.
CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Virginia AG is Making the Process the Punishment in the Old Dominion’s War on Guns.
Jay Jones, the anti-gun but pro-bullets to the head Virginia attorney general, announced on September 15 the creation of the Firearms Accountability & Industry Responsibility Unit within the Civil and Criminal Justice & Public Safety Divisions of his office. The unit’s job will be to bring civil enforcement actions against firearm industry members under the recently enacted Virginia Firearm Industry Standards of Responsible Conduct.
True to the Orwellian spirit of the gun control enterprise, the process promises to be anything but fair. The fact that the AG’s office is spinning up an entire unit to target a lawful and constitutionally protected business sector begs the question, just what are Virginia’s gun dealers doing wrong? The answer, under Virginia’s new legislation, is that they’ll find out when they get sued for it.
Gun bans get most of the attention when it comes to firearm policy, and this applies to both sides of the issue. But with the U.S. Supreme Court poised to determine the constitutionality of banning some of the nation’s most popular firearms, gun prohibition advocates are already planning their next offensive. Their target is the U.S. firearms industry, already one of the most heavily regulated in the country.
As Virginia’s law illustrates, however, compliance with known rules will no longer be enough under the new regime.
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime,” the old checkist is supposed to have said.
