Jimmy Kimmel pulled from the air over false comment about Kirk murder

[andy06shake]

This was the comment... 

That's not even the full comment, mate, you're cherry picking parts of the sentence.

I don't think his 4 ex-wives spoke very highly of him when he was drunk or upset, but he did indeed have perfect comedic timing.

And if you were to continue the entire comment, it's clear i have admiration for the man.

The man had demons, but he was late-night TV gold dust, and i think that goes without saying.

So that discredits everything a man says and does?

He was a heavy drinker and could be an angry as hell person, among other vices, still doesn't invalidate his thoughts on the role of an entertainer on a late-night show. 

He practically invented the genre, pretty sure he knew a few things that are still germane

Are we having a conversation?  Or are you on the attack?

I only said I didn't connect with him.

There was also Steve Allen and Jack Parr.

Ok.  Supposedly she is crazy woke. 

Just the facts, and that's ABC has multiple layers of oversight, including legal, standards, and compliance teams.

And Kimmel’s wife as co head writer and executive producer is responsible for the writing of the show, the creative direction of the show, and financing the show.  Where it’s probably hard to finance the show and its cost through commercials sponsors if affiliates are pulling the show because of bad writing and rouge hosts.

Supposed by who, aside from you, of course? 

As co-head writer and executive producer, McNearney is responsible for content and creative direction.

But as far as im aware, financing the show is not her responsibility. 

ABC and Disney handle budgets and ad revenue.

Hence, the decision to remove Jimmy and then reinstate him down to what would seem to be public demand. 

When they thought they would lose subscriptions and revenue because of the number of Google searches that were being done regarding canceling subscriptions.

Being co-head writer and executive producer does not make McNearney legally responsible for Kimmel’s statements.

Kimmel’s wife being part of management of the show, a head co-writer, and executive producer does make her legally bound to the content as what the final produced episode is as aired.  As she is responsible for each episode as a product to air.  If you don’t understand, you’re just being argumentative to be argumentative.

Co head writer as in what is said each episode.  Being part of the show’s management and the executive producer, she is responsible in many ways including any liable for the final product as in the episode being released to air.

Again, that statement would seem to be somewhat inaccurate.

She has creative influence as co-head writer and executive producer.

But she is not personally liable for what airs.

Let it sink in, networks like ABC, assume legal responsibility, backed by compliance, standards, and legal teams.

Creative leadership does not equal personal liability.

And it's the network, not the individual, that is legally accountable for the content they broadcast.

Where is your evidence that she is "crazy woke" or controlling his opinions?

Producers like McNearney help organise, but they do not run the Academy Awards or the Emmys.

The Oscars and the Emmys are run by entire organisations, not individuals.

She’s the executive producer and head writer for the Oscar’s and Emmy’s.
Some of her quotes…

“It’s a great honor to be part of the team that gets under Trump’s orange skin night after night. ”

“Let’s not wait for your kid’s face to get blown off by an assault weapon for you to take a stand on them. #BanAssaultWeaponsNow”

“Thank you, grand jury for indicting him two hours before we shoot tonight's show.
@JimmyKimmelLive”

“I LOVE that we got under his thin orange skin.”

“I’m sounding the alarm on abortion rights.”

“Just your friendly reminder that 147 Republicans voted to overthrow our election and they probably shouldn’t serve our democracy anymore. #vote”

“If you thought that last election was stolen you should definitely protest by banning this next one.”

“I wish the secret service had let Trump storm the Capitol like he wanted. He’d be in jail where he belongs.”

“Shout out to all the moms suppressing their despair in front of their children. We are the violinist on the Titanic.”

“I wanna angrily step over shrubs with Elizabeth Warren and her starter earrings until we get ALL the rights”

“Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Reproductive rights and stop being dicks to our LGBTQ kids.”

executive producer, McNearney is responsible

Probably what’s in her contact.

This is what is considered to be part of a “normal executive producer”.

What is an executive producer and what do they do?

Legal and contractual obligationsWhen it comes to ensuring production complies with laws and contractual agreements, the executive producer serves as a key figure. They are often responsible for finalizing contracts. This includes outlining terms related to compensation, intellectual property rights and deliverables. Executive producers may also be involved in securing the rights to copyrighted materials used in the production. 
The executive producer also works to mitigate legal risks that may arise during the project, such as coordinating with legal advisors to safeguard the project and its stakeholders from legal disputes and potential financial loss.

So 

McNearney Failed as show management to act as a stop to keep the show from being suspended by ABC where affiliates refused to air an episode.

Or McNearney as co-head writer didn’t care her husband was going to piss off affiliates because of political bias.  

Take your pick.
