So, what's the thinking about Kimmel's return? Will his monologues have a different tone?

I honestly have no idea. I can see him being chastened (for doing nothing wrong). I can just as easily see him being emboldened (after having done nothing wrong).

. . . . . questions get asked for many reasons.

In this case, one reason is to start a discussion.

Another reason is they are hoping o get cogent replies.

I suspect no one asks questions hoping to get dismissive replies.

…… and then tell yourself which one sounded (for lack of better term) Scoby and which one seemed a legitimate answer.

No need to post a reply. Anyone reading the two can answer the question for themselves.

I wish you a delightful remainder of your evening.

But who knows, could be like when Jack Nicholson was lobotomized in "One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest."

Kimmel's show hasn't been cancelled - Kimmel may well "play nice" to a degree (at the bare minimum necessary) to appease the suits at ABC and get a renewal.
