NEW: Kimmel Staffer Reveals Whether Show Will Return, Melts Down On MAGA

A former member of Jimmy Kimmel’s diminished staff is sounding the alarm about the odds that his boss will ever see his late-night show return to the airwaves.

Speaking anonymously, the staffer ripped President Donald Trump and “MAGA a**hats” for taking down Kimmel after he accused them of deflecting from the truth that Kirk’s killer, suspected gunman Tyler Robinson, was a fan of the president.

The tone-deaf — and demonstrably false — assertion led ABC to pull Kimmel’s show “indefinitely,” and any path forward remains uncertain, if not untenable, the staffer said recently.

“I want to think it will. But I can’t imagine a scenario in which that happens. Even if Jimmy was willing to publicly apologize and donate money to whatever ghoulish conservative group that is demanding it… MAGA people will never be happy. It will never be enough,” they told Rick Ellis for his “Too Much TV” newsletter.

Kimmel has been off the air since Wednesday, when Disney’s head honchos decided to pull the plug.

“And Disney will look at the situation and decide it’s cheaper to buy out the rest of his contract and replace the show with reruns of Modern Family and Judge Judy. Somehow, they’ll convince themselves the worst is behind them. Until a day or two pass, and they find themselves having to defend Whoopi and the other women of The View. And no one wants to be in that position,” the staffer continued.

Kimmel said during the show on Monday, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

It was Disney co-chair Dana Walden who is rumored to have told Kimmel that his show was being canceled after the famously mercurial late-night host refused to “kowtow” to the MAGA movement by apologizing for his past remarks.

A source with the show said they didn’t put much faith in Disney standing by Kimmel, given the intense blowback other media figures were receiving in the wake of Kirk’s assassination, Fox News reported.

“I had zero faith that any of the network execs had the slightest bit of stones to stand up for their employees. I mean, yeah, I was surprised it happened that specific day. But you could see it coming. Every time some MAGA a**hat would spout off about the show, the knot in my stomach just got tighter,” they said.

Asked if they believed critics of Kimmel had a point, the staffer said no.

“I don’t think they had a point. The Trump folks are like that crooked cop who wants to pull over a driver and waits until they make some slight mistake. ‘Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Black Guy, you didn’t come to a complete stop and look both ways at that last stop sign.’ That’s our show. We were always a running stop away from unemployment,” the staffer told Ellis.

Working for Kimmel had been great, the staffer added, but everything about his show has “sucked” recently, they admitted.

“Because it was becoming increasingly clear in recent weeks that Sir Iger and the ABC executives would cut us loose in a second if they thought something we did might hurt attendance at Disney World or cost anyone their annual bonus,” the staffer said.
