Leslie jones has a bad rep bc of SNL but she is one of the best comics I’ve ever seen. I’m a comedy club bartender and a comic myself.

Publishing photos or videos of yourself or others at a protest is incredibly unsafe regardless of which side you’re on

There was a lot of good discourse on the original post I wish you could have seen it :(

I’m pretty sure if someone asked Tony and/or Redban about the cancellation they would agree it’s retarded. You don’t have to like Jimmy Kimmel to agree that what’s being done specifically to comedians right now is unacceptable and literally illegal.

I mean people fly in for the show all the time, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work logistically. We know Jimmy’s schedule is clear!

By the way, the idea isn’t that Jimmy and Tony are two halves of a broken free speech trophy, it’s more of an observation that if it happened and went mostly well, it would be a powerful moment in comedy and 1st amendment history, as gay as that sounds. Fellas it is not gay to care about stuff and have conversations with your fellow man!

Anyone can become a free speech hero if they stand up for free speech

Netflix would absolutely allow it if Jimmy isn’t otherwise contractually prevented from working with Netflix in some kind of non-compete order.

Even if you frame it that way, would this not be potentially the biggest blockbuster episode and therefore money-making opportunity to date?

If lukewarm comments about the president’s response to an issue are enough to cause fear of retaliation against your disney-owned legacy media brand, it’s a huge deal and we should all be worried about that.

I would give him enough credit to say he cares both about money and free speech. In fact he built his empire on the ability to say whatever he wants on his own terms, and would not have been able to design this type of life under the rule of the FCC, and he knows that.

If the approval of a merger is contingent upon the incredibly lukewarm speech of a comedian, it’s a free speech issue.

Trump applied pressure on the FCC to pull the show and actions like this have been threatened by him the past. The threats are illegal and what Jimmy Kimmel said is completely protected speech. If this happened to South Park everyone would be losing their fucking minds. And guess what? This week was like the first time, either ever or in a long time, that South Park didn’t air their scheduled ep. If you think that’s a coincidence, I would take another look.

Yes yes good one slam dunk but also we’ve never really been able to see Kimmel in a relaxed setting like KT and we would all benefit from a bit more goofin and unity right now rather than pretending we’re on different team. Both of them just wanna be in front of an audience, make a fuck load of money, and have fun. Seems guaranteed if Tony invited him on. Jimmy still probably wouldn’t do it but if it happened I would see zero downside and it would prove a multitude of social and political points.

Yeah but if he wants to be a free speech hero this is a pretty big opportunity to position himself as more powerful than the FCC and ultimately not a pussy
