(11,268 posts)He was itchin' to get out in front of the cameras today with his autism "information".
The Kimmel announcement came just in time to rain on his parade. I'm loving it.
He will be one pissy dude when he finally shows.
The sound you hear is one huge balloon deflating. Oh well!

(7,516 posts)He almost didn't sign his last contract extension because he's been doing it for 20 years and was feeling it might be time to move on. When he did sign the extension, he said "After two decades at ABC, I am now looking forward to three years of what they call 'quiet quitting". That implies he wasn't planning on returning once this contract expires in 2026. At this point, I think he cares far more about his personal integrity and would say, if you want to fire me go ahead. He did that in 2022.

Kimmel told the Naked Lunch podcast that he informed execs that he wouldnt let up on the jokes even if they fired him. They eventually backed away from the ask, he noted.
