Disney, Jimmy Kimmel

The right’s call to boycott Disney is a dramatic about-turn for MAGA and for Disney. Until it announced Kimmel’s comeback the Mouse House was facing mounting calls from liberals for a boycott, with Howard Stern telling his listeners Monday morning that he had canceled its Disney+ streaming service.
The company said the remarks were “ill-timed and thus insensitive,” but the move followed threats from the Trump-appointed chair of the Federal Communications Commission to revoke ABC’s broadcast license, as well as pressure from major station groups Sinclair and Nexstar.
When Kimmel taped his back-to-work monologue Tuesday night, he predicted his return would “unjustly” put ABC at risk of new pressure from Trump’s government.
