I’ll repost this here I posted it in the portajohn. It’s not all fact it’s piecing together a plausible situation from random bits of info.
I’ve been reading/listening to a lot of stuff, pretty sure he only had a couple years left on his contract. Late night TV is near dead and been on the decline for a decade or more. Kimmel was warned multiple times to STFU about Kirk possibly from advertisers bitching. He was told what was needed to keep his job and he refused. He quit with extra steps pretty much. Kimmel got to go out looking like a hero martyr to the left and I wouldn’t be surprised if he writes a check for the hundreds of people on his team as they all became unemployed immediately when he was fired again looking good to his people.
The guy made $15,000,000.00(and it may be more) a year and been on that show over 2 decades. It’s not hurting him getting fired really it’s theatre. He can go the rest of his life being rich and blaming trump for him getting fired a few years early
