Jimmy Kimmel's broadcast features a revived clip in which he seems to rejoice at Tucker Carlson being let go, sparking online commentary that this turn of events is a form of cosmic justice, or karma.
Tucker Carlson Fired from Fox News and Jimmy Kimmel Suspended by ABC
In a surprise move, Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News in April 2023. According to reports, the reason for his dismissal was because he had 'committed the cardinal Fox sin of acting like he was bigger than the network he was on.' Brian Stelter, a media analyst, later confirmed this in his book, 'Network of Lies.'
The news of Carlson's firing sparked reactions on X, the former Twitter, with users expressing various opinions. Some argued that those who celebrate others being cancelled or fired have no right to complain about getting fired or cancelled themselves.
Interestingly, prior to Carlson's firing, a 2023 video of Jimmy Kimmel celebrating Carlson's departure from Fox News resurfaced on the internet. This video seemed to foreshadow the events that unfolded later.
Meanwhile, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely due to his controversial remarks about Charlie Kirk's death. The comments that led to his suspension were made on his talk show. Upon hearing about Carlson's firing, Kimmel commented on his show that Carlson was 'stunned' because he was let go 'in the middle of renegotiating his contract.'
The circumstances surrounding Carlson's firing were dramatic. A photograph of his face the moment he found out he was being fired was reportedly released. One user on X compared the situation to a famous roasting scene from Matt Damon's Good Will Hunting, asking 'Do you like apples, Jimmy?'
After his firing, Carlson was not rehired by Fox News or any other mentioned broadcaster in 2023. No information indicates who, if anyone, employed him at Fox News after 2023 because he was dismissed that year.
Tragically, Charlie Kirk was murdered at Utah Valley University, but this incident does not appear to be connected to Carlson's firing or Kimmel's suspension.
These developments in the media landscape have certainly sparked discussions and debates, with many questioning the boundaries of free speech and the power dynamics within the industry.
