Adam Carolla defended former co-host Jimmy Kimmel after ABC suspends his show, calling him a good person despite their political disagreements.
Adam Carolla, who once co-hosted “The Man Show” with now-outspoken liberal Jimmy Kimmel, reflected on what the indefinite suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” means for America.
“I think a lot of people want me to comment on it”, Carolla said on Thursday’s episode of his radio show, “The Adam Carolla Show.” “My feeling is this: I don’t think he should have been fired. It’s a weird thing. The right and the left are always sort of misinterpreting things. He was inaccurate about something. It wasn’t like he was necessarily attacking Charlie Kirk. He was trying to dump it on Trump and inaccurate about it.”
Disney announced Wednesday it had pulled Kimmel’s late-night show “indefinitely” after he suggested that Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old Utah man charged with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was part of the “MAGA gang”, despite reports he had a left-wing ideology. This was later reaffirmed in details from Tuesday’s indictment.
Kimmel and Carolla both rose to fame in the early 2000s as co-hosts of Comedy Central’s sketch comedy series “The Man Show.
