- Why's that?
  Should have clips on YouTube
  
  The two big affiliate companies refused to air it on TV.
  
  A few distributors (Sinclair, namely) refused because they’re malicious
  
  Basically the whole thing, minus commercials, is on their Youtube account.

  I'm sure there are individual clips from like ABC and random individuals uploading as well.
  
  Wouldn't count to the TV ratings.
I laughed my ass off at the bit where he plays the Trump clip saying "Kimmel was fired because he had no ratings", and Kimmel: "I do now."
Fucking comedy gold.
Trump will take credit for those ratings.
- Attempting to do something, failing spectacularly, then taking credit for it anyway is completely on-brand for him
- and he wouldn't be wrong. half the country buys Trump and the other half the country buys anti-Trump.
- You are absolutely correct.
In 24 hours YouTube has 18.4 million views.
He absolutely should never have been fired for any kind of comedy bit
But but nothing will make him funny. His delivery is just so canned, no originality.
So many other good comedians now it is.... And the spanish co host gives me try hard vibes
- you leave Guiermo out of this!
  
  It kinda looks like the gentleman from the laughing meme.. Is that him with more teeth?
  Same for Stephen Colbert. With the bend guy that has the fake laugh, it's just so forced.
  It's like the networks forced it on them to be my more diverse and connect to a larger audience. It only works if you're funny. You can't fake funny.
