Mark Ruffalo Sends Blunt Warning to Disney If ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Is Canceled
Mark Ruffalo sent a blunt warning to Disney about what would likely happen if Jimmy Kimmel Live! is canceled following ABC‘s suspension of the show over Jimmy Kimmel‘s remarks about Charlie Kirk‘s death.
On Saturday, September 20, the icon behind the Hulk in The Avengers took to Threads to share a report that Disney’s stock dropped by 7% after ABC suspended Kimmel’s late-night show.
“It’s going to go down a lot further if they cancel his show,” the 13 Going on 30 alum warned. “Disney does not want to be the ones that broke America.”
Kimmel’s sister, Jill Kimmel, replied, “You’re always on the correct side of history, Mark! Thank you for speaking up!!”
Another Thread user wrote, “No more Marvel movies until they reverse course, right?”
Someone else shared, “I honestly think Disney doesn’t care if it breaks America as long as they keep making money.”
Meanwhile, a different Threads user commented, “Quoting someone’s reason for canceling his Disney+ subscription: ‘You were supposed to fight the Sith not join them!'”

Another Hulk actor, Tatiana Maslany — the star of Marvel’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law on Disney — also urged customers to cancel their Disney subscriptions. On her Instagram Stories, Maslany shared a photo of herself in the She-Hulk motion capture costume, urging followers, “Cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions!”
ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! came on the heels of pressure from the FCC and affiliate owners following Kimmel’s controversial comments about President Donald Trump‘s response to Kirk’s fatal shooting.
On September 14, Kimmel suggested that the suspect in Kirk’s shooting was a right-wing extremist after the Turning Point USA founder, 31, was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10.
“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,” he said on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Kimmel also criticized Trump’s response to a question about how the POTUS was holding up after Kirk’s death. “I think very good,” the president, 79. replied. “And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks? They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House.”
Many other celebrities have spoken out in support of Kimmel in the wake of his show’s suspension, including Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert, Jay Leno, and more. As of writing, Jimmy Kimmel Live! is still suspended.

Not much of a Facebook user here, but went on recently to view a link someone texted me: First thing I saw were posts and memes calling for boycotting Disney and canceling subscriptions to their service. Facebook is algorithm-driven, meaning those calls to ditch Disney are top-of-mind on one of the world's most popular social media applications.
Tourism from elsewhere is already down in the U.S. due to tariffs and bullying of other nations by this administration, which cannot mean anything good for Disney's parks. Now consumers are turning away from Disney media and products?
The longer the Kimmel 'suspension' lasts, the worse it gets for Disney. But that's not the most important issue here. Consolidation of media under three billionaires and silencing voices in America is the issue.
And the longer that lasts, the worse things get for America.

I didn't even look at social media before I thought to cancel subscriptions. Yes fb uses algorithms, but some real people can actually think for themselves.
Just like it doesn't matter to me that the killer was raised by Republicans but in a relationship with a Trans. Politics doesn't matter. A man I never heard of before, was assassinated. I don't care less what his political affiliation. Nor do I care what choice he has made in hispersonal relationship/sexual choice. They caught him, he will get due process.
While Fox News Brian Kilmeade suggesting homeless people should be given involuntary lethal injections (which would be mass murder) still has his job. That alone explains why Kimmel was suspended.

Consumers already were turning away from disney. Now on the other aspect why defend him? Where were you people for Roseanne or gina carano when the same happened to them. Why weren't you screaming when he himself said Roseanne should be taken off air for her comments. Im jot saying they were right but you only holler free speech when it affects what you are saying and not when it another view or side. I dont care what side it is it shouldn't happen. That being said his wasnt all free speech oriented when its a lie in his comment all he had to do was apologize and say he was wrong because he didn't have all the info yet but he jumped the gun then wanted to double down on it.

Your two examples were cancelled by society while Jimmy was effectively silenced by the Government. One is by definition an attack on free speech. If Jimmy were cancelled due to an uproar of consumers not liking what he said so be it but that doesnt seem to be the case.

He WAS "cancelled" by consumers, the consumers who voiced objections to the affiliate networks who complained to ABC. Insulting your already declining audience and doubling down on it is not a good career move.

I really don't know what you're referencing but the cancellation seems pretty clearly related to threats by the FCC. There may have been some private complaints but Trump and Co definitely believe it's their fault.

Unfortunately you have things backwards. If you been paying attention to politics at all, disneys decline has been due to years of conservatives boycotting Disney due to all the gay relationship they have put in their movies for their characters. If anything business will go back up not down. People that have traditional families don’t like that stuff Thus Disney has suffered for it. They’re on the wrong side of things in terms of business/ profits. you can’t cater to kids while potitically trying to please people that can’t produce kids of their own. It’s a paradox. People can rant and complain all they want. But it won’t make a difference. Maybe they reinstate him but if they do it will only be for face. As everyone already knows Kimmel has lower numbers that Kolbert did. They will all be axed as traditional TV is going away.
As for the fastest growing genre of movies it’s all the faith based moves. One more statistic showing what majority of the family centric population is looking for in entertainment. Numbers don’t lie. Rating and profits all show families aren’t into LBGT content for their kids on family night. Everyone has a right to their opinion and their way of life but is the goal is numbers for family content the numbers have been speaking for years.

So where was Ruffalo and these others when Roseanne and Gina Carano were canceled?
189 61

O
Carano did say being a republican is the USA was as bad as being a Jew in the holocaust, and Roseanne said a black woman’s baby looked like a combo of planet of the apes and the Muslim brotherhood. I don’t think Kimmel comment was as bad as those 2
28 12
-
E
No, Roseanne didnt say a black woman's baby looked like that. She said it about Valerie Jarret, an Obama advisor. Sure it was racist but all the libs were cheering when calling Trump, Hitler, Nazi, Fascist and getting him removed from twitter and Facebook. Carano was targeted simply because the left didnt like that she was convervative. Just like they hated Charlie Kirk.

I think you have it backwards and the fact you are not calling trump a liberal is crazy. There whole admin is nothing but liberal so first understand meaning of what a liberal is. Be careful labeling anyone as liberal cause you will eventually look on the mirror and realize you are the liberal. There are no more conservatives just radical rightist. Who are completely wrong about everything.

If by apples and oranges you mean, that they are both fruit. See you think because Roseann said something racist that she should be canceled. Gina Carano shared an opinion that compared liberals to Nazis, an opinion that understandably is unpopular and offensive to liberals. So since she posted her political opinion, you think she should be canceled. Guess what, Jimmy Kimmel suggesting that the conservatives killed Charlie Kirk to get points on their side is equally as offensive. While I can understand boycotting Roseann because you don't agree with her comment, or Gina for her political opinion, or Jimmy Kimmel for his political opinion it is all freedom of speech. Yes there are, and should be consequences. If the company you work for tells you, in Gina and Jimmy's case, that you've gone to far you need to stop or retract and apologize. Then you have the choice to either comply or get fired. Just because it is starting to affect the left does not make it different. They are all opinions, some have misinformation, some are plain shitty, but they are all opinions that should be protected. The fact that someone disagrees with you so you insult them, puts a point in Gina's column.

The thing was Roseanne barr made fun of a democrat.. republicans dont get free speech and are murdered or careers ruined. But the democrats rule the America that's suppose to protected under free speech. This world is messed up. Roseanne lost her show that was about her and it is no good now. But yeah lets keep Kimmel on air to spew hate and call for riots

Roseanne Barr was fired by ABC in May 2018 after she posted a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a former senior advisor to President Barack Obama. Her firing led to the cancellation of the reboot of her highly successful sitcom, Roseanne.

Correct. EVERY civil right legislation ever written was written buy a Republican, passed by Republicans and fought against all the way by Democrats. They killed Lincoln... for trying to make the Democrats give up their slavery. They killed MLK Jr cuz he was outing them. They tried to kill Regan, and Trump because they can not stop the truths they told buy calling them hitler or some other vial crap. They can lie all day long... they can not change History.

You can blame the FCC head all you want but that's the FCC's job. Kimmel lied to the public about Robinson on his program. The real reason he was pulled is Nexstar and Sinclair objected to Kimmel. Sinclair demanded he apologize. They are the two largest groups of affiliates in the country and were going to pull Kimmel from their stations anyway. Kimmel's show was already bleeding money from ABC. How do you think it would do without advertisers?

There is no fine print and this is not the case for all businesses, for example the government. However, an employer can limit an employee speech if it interferes with job duties, disrupts operations, or undermines public trust.

Apparently you don't understand what Free Speech entails. It has nothing to do with the workplace and everything to do with the government. You can be fired for lying. Your freedom of speech doesn't protect you from your employer firing you for being an idiot.

C
No, but it does protect your speech from being infringed by the government, which is what happened here. Trump didn’t like Kimmel’s comment and got Carr to threaten broadcast licenses over it. Good gods, what is the matter with your comprehension?

Really, let's see the proof on that. You have the documents right. Kimmel was an evil one sided man that had an agenda and was loosing tons of cash for a long time... proven fact... this was the excuse they needed to get rid of him. Period

It’s exactly what corporations did in Germany in the 1930s. Ultimately they got what they deserved though . After the war the entire economy collapsed and all stockholders saw their shares frozen by Hitler were unfrozen and became worth less than a penny a share. It’s going to happen here too.

Do you know the first two things hitler did when he gained power.

Kimmel still enjoys free speech. He's not in jail now is he? So, he's free to speak whatever he wants. But if his employer doesn't like it, they can also exercise the freedom of expression; to fire a misinformed comedian.
4 5
-
O
Its not about what Kimmel said. Freedom of speech means responsibility for consequences. The problem is that the federal government didn't like an opinion and the federal government threatened to come down hard unless the voice that said it faces consequences. What's next, South Park? This is a dangerous precedent. What happens when it's a crazy liberal as president that starts threatening Fox and leaning on conservative voices? It's about the rules of the game, not the players.

Oh stop, you dope. He violated an FCC rule, Disney chose to get rid of him, not the trump administration.

So a man was murdered for freely speaking his opinions and yall care more about a man losing his job for freely speaking his opinions? One is not the same as the other.

They're both completely messed up situations. One man was killed for exercising his freedom of speech. Another man said something that the gov didn't like, the gov made threats because they didn't like the opinion, and the network caved to those gov threats. You don't ignore one situation because another is worse.

They did some of the same stuff Trump has done—but given their competency, I gave them a slide. You may think it is lazy but it makes total sense. If I leave my kids with my parents, I’m not running home to check the nanny cam—Every once in a while I’ll find that they gave the kids junk food or broke a rule or two—I’m not that worried, but if I leave my kids with Gary Busey, then yeah, I’m going to scrutinize and pick because he couldn’t do the job right to begin with. So please stop with your whataboutisms. Just because you are accurate does not make your critique interesting.

Trumpoids here are using their old, unthinking, threadbare trope of "Who cares what such and such thinks?". They don't realize that celebrity actors can seriously affect the media company's bottom line by refusing to work in their projects and they can mobilize their celebrity actor friends to do the same. They can also call for their audiences' boycott of such companies that bow down to the illegal pressures of thin-skinned autocrats.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Media company's absolutely know you are replaceable and one wrong move or word and they will do so. Actors and celebrities have no power when it comes to these companies. They have tried for a very long time but you cannot intimidate the people who control Hollywood and they will send you packing in a heartbeat if you cross the line. There is not a actor on the planet who can intimidate these people. Everyone will get over Kimmel, it's what we do. Be mad and hate for a while but you can't stop Disney or any of those companies trying to stop unhinged wingnuts from spreading their hate filled rants. Moreover, Kimmel loves spreading lies and hate so much I guarantee you he will find a way to help fuel all the haters out there, like starting a podcast or some streaming platform. Why? Because there will always be greedy people who could careless about anything other than making that money regardless whether they agree with the person or even if they are spewing hate, they will sign them anyway. And we all know scum and hate seems to rise to the surface here in the US.

It's not the fact that he was fired. He was going to face backlash for his words regardless, as he should. Freedom of speech means being responsible for your speech. BUT, the network was threatened by the gov, and the network caved. And why was it threatened? Because the gov didn't like his opinion. Just imagine for a second how bad of a precedent that sets of a crazy Democrat takes charge. It's not about the who wins or loses, it's about the rules of the game and how they're being trampled.

Actors are obviously the best voices on investing ... the stock didn't drop because of Kimmel. That's not how the market works. Shows get cancelled all the time. The stock dropped and will jumps right back up. Investors aren't watching Kimmel ... nobody is.
Kimmel is wrapping up a contract that is unlikely to be renewed by him or the network. Jimmy is just mad he didn't leave on his own terms. Late night is dead and has been for years. They could get better ratings showing reruns of 90s shows.

It blows my mind that the left is now crying about free speech. For the last 10 years most republicans were afraid to even show any support for their party. If you had a support sticker on your vehicle it would get firebombed in Portland Oregon as a friend of mine was. You would have people storming into a restaurant to yell in your face and force you to leave, as the press secretary was. You would have people calling you racist, fascist, bigot, and so on without even knowing anything about your personal life. You were called non black for not voting for the democratic ticket. Facebook has publicly admitted to being forced to block anything that went against the last administration. As a political centrist, it is a shame what the country has come to. We used to be able to talk aboit differences of opinion without hate speach and name calling. That was left to the small minded individuals that can't articulate a conversation. Kimmel probably shouldn't have been fired over this, if was the only thing he would be fired for. His ratings were falling for years and he has been pushing this type of one sided political rhetoric for years. His bosses finally had enough.

It's funny how when the left cancels anyone who doesnt agree with them.

Wasn’t there an economic factor that was considered in the cancellation by Disney? Kimmel was pulling down 60 million but his audience has dwindled down to a million. If he was still putting up those 4/5 million people 10 years ago

Isn't it amazing that Mark Ruffalo believes he's so important that when he speaks everyone quivers in fear. Isn't that what liberals do?

To him, there is nothing off limits as long as it gets a laugh. It wasn't funny just awkward.

I'm going to comment, but I'm not coming back here, so you can leave your reply at the door or duke it out amongst yourselves, I do not care.
The government had nothing to do with Kimmel being fired, and Ruffalo is a fool for thinking so, being as much of an insider as any actor. This was merely an executive decision from Disney after yet another insensitive joke by the non-comedic comedian. In the last decade, he went from merely 1M viewers between 25-55 to barely 261k. He sunk a long time ago, it's honestly in ABC's (and Disney's) best interest.

Of course, Disney chooses "Code of Conduct" over money and ratings. They let it slide for forever, like a lot of people, but when he showed how truly classless and demonic he is by the Charlie Kirk comments, its called a line and he drove that car for as long as he could and did everything, he could to cross it, and he finally achieved his goal. Don't get it twisted, Kimmel has been flirting with disaster for a long time now, it was only a matter of time before he canceled himself. To me, it seems as though he did this on purpose knowing what the results would be and he could start a crusade against powers to be in Hollywood and create this narrative that the right wants to take free speech away Its a complete political ploy to gain traction for their own twisted narrative as he creates his own platform and continues his vile against the right. The problem is we would forget about him in a normal world, however, with the internet, he will live on to continue his hate and vile filled speech. You can see the writing on the wall where this is going. Civil war is so ready to break out its insane. Now, lets fall for the tricks of our celebrities and power moguls to brain wash and trick us all into believing this country would be better off with open borders and men playing in womens sports and using their locker rooms as well as transitioning our childrens sex. It is truly insane what has happened to the world we once knew.

What amazes me about this whole conversation is the complete lack of comprehension? It doesnt matter what Kimmel said it doesnt matter what Ruffalo said it doesnt matter if either are funny or even correct in their thoughts? What matters here in the BIG picture is that both of them just like all of us "In America" anyway up until now at least. Is that they have the right and the privilege to say whatever the hell they want? It's the first amendment and so many people died in the belief that you should have it? The minute we take that for granted "which we obviously are!" It's gone! It doesnt matter what any of them said or think and it certainly doesnt matter if they are funny? What matters is the man is being taken off the air for speaking his mind! Wake up if it can happen to him whats next it could be you for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong company.. it won't end there either next will be prosecution for saying something someone doesnt agree with.

There's absolutely no other field that would pay that ridiculous amount of money and the amount of money they charge for the movie tickets. Self-centered entitled untalented brats.

Disney, and ABC were already in a downward spiral. Late night shows in 2018 had $440M in ad revenue. It’s $220M now. Kimmel was underperforming the industry.

The stock did not drop because of Kimmel show being removed... it dropped from what Kimmel said. By removing the show the share holders will be making more money. And that IS what it is all about with a company the size of Disney.

A million subscribers can cancel Disney won't matter since a million plus one will subscriber days later
Right or wrong like the guy or not
Let's call it he is your friend and ego are in the way because if it really matter to all of you
You all in Hollywood would have spoken out for all the wrong that are happening not just because Jimmy is gone so please stop blaming Disney and acting like you suddenly truly care because if jimmy was a bobby a nobody whose job didn't hit so close to you in Hollywood you wouldn't care

I don’t know if they should cancel him or not, BUT I have seen clips on how he treats some of his guests. It’s not right. I don’t watch him because he is offensive just like Joy Bauer. If anyone should be out indefinitely it should be her instead of Kimmel. She is by far the rudest person ever. She’s only nice if you share her same beliefs. As far as canceling my Hulu, Disney plus, and whatever the other one was. NO WAY IN H*++.

Mark it will plummet worse if they keep it, and they know it. It's all about slowing the bleeding. Disney is not doing well and scrambling to bleed less.

so here's the thing, Kimmel has been kind of a disarming laugh track to all that's going on in this country....i work hard and long hours and he's my relief from all the horrible news..he's a real family man, he honestly loves his wife and you can tell his wife loves Jimmy and keeps him real and yes, he makes a lot of jokes at Trump's expense.
And i say this, better to laugh or have an outlet to laugh and let people laugh at you because what are you forcing people to do? Take it all to heart and take everything seriously?
Trump as strong man with his full diapers and sagging flesh and a wife who so obviously can't stand him and all these convoluted morals that he simply has no concept of or mean anything to him, he's obviously someone you can't take seriously and doesn't even take the rules that govern his office seriously...the whole image of this is terrible.
And so, you take away people's laughter and right to voice an opinion and then what do you leave people with? Maybe to get violent? to start an uprising ? cause upheaval because people have no outlets to profess the truth anymore?
You can call the president an authoritarian, a dictator, maybe it's true, but first, he's an an empowered child, a bully.
The economy is being wrecked, a lot of people are having trouble finding work or lost their job, prices keep going up (even on American goods), and Trump is showing his strength where? on banning people in the media that speak out against him? yeap

In my opinion, all politics aside, you really gotta see how Jimmy Kimmel's comments toward how Trump's comment on how they're doing after Mr. Kirk's passing being rather short and also very quickly changing the subject after to avoid unnecessary commentary was inappropriate. I don't think his cancellation was in order over it. But I think Jimmy took it a bit too far. Then for Mark Ruffalo to jump in like he has ANY pull with Disney in this matter is just totally ridiculous. I was expecting to see him say he'll quit making the new movies or something over it all or something, foolishly thinking they wouldn't replace him as quick as they would an extra! LOL! I mean, HULK is pretty much MOSTLY CGI as it is. So technically they don't need Mark the human AT ALL. So if I were him, I'd be quiet as hell right now! Lol.

I was disturbed that Trump when asked how he was holding up said good and didn't mention Kirk, he just talked about the new ballroom. That showed a lack of presidential savvy

Dianey sales and stocks went down a few years ago when people started chanting go woke , go broke. So now because of the Kimmel's issue, its gone down more? Kimmel is there to entertain, not to be a political platform. Late night used to be entertaining. Yes,, Kimmel has a first amendment right, but not at the expense of the death of someone whether you like the person or not.
PS
Why doesn't the media, the entertainers, and the Democratic politicians slam Kimmel for his sextist show he once had? Seems they love bringing up the past of their opponents.

For anyone who believes Jimmy being fired for his hateful speech is a violation of the 1st amendment, you are wrong. The first amendment only means you can not be arrested for your speech, it doesn't cover your employment.

I love all of the foolish MAGA people here ignoring that this was the government censoring him, not his workplace or the consequences from the court of public opinion (Roseanne, Gina Carano). Trump said several times "let's look at revoking their broadcasting license" and has put his foot down on mergers to get private companies to do what he wants, a blatant violation of the first amendment. The man has said these things OUT LOUD and these idiots just put their fingers in their ears and go "blah blah blah I can't hear you!" Republicans are such gullible snowflakes.

To Michelle Stein
"ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! came on the heels of pressure from the FCC and affiliate owners following Kimmel’s controversial comments about President Donald Trump‘s response to Kirk’s fatal shooting."
Can we please stop aiding the fascistic Dictator in Chief by unnecessarily propagandizing for him?!
Controversial???
Please, explain to me where and how anything Kimmel said was controversial?
Just because the maga sheep have done what they are told and are upset and offended, doesn't automatically make it controversial.
Let's use objective facts, common sense, and reason in reporting, please, and not make compromises in reporting the truth simply because some people may choose to be offended by it
The fact of the matter is, if the maga crowd actually were told the truth and were given stories based in reality, instead of the constant right-wing propaganda fed to them by the likes of Fox, OAN, and others, maybe we wouldn't be in the current crisis we're in.

Kimmel never insinuated that the shooter was MAGA or right-wing. His comment was that the right were falling over themselves to paint him as a left-wing, trans-loving activist, even before an arrest was made! The part that really upset Trumpel-Thinskin was Jimmy making light of his response to the journalist's question by promoting his pathetic WH ballroom vanity project!

Kimmel has always been the scum of this country and its a great day in our country to take down a guy who is filled with hate and lives to spew it over the airwaves, this is a long time coming. Moreover, the only people who are mad are people who hate Trump or don't like Charlie Kirk, they loved it when he fueled their hate and he deserves to be canned for spreading lies and spewing rhetoric. You spread lies and hate about a great man who was just assassinated by a guy from your political party and you try and turn it into a joke. No, Kimmel you can go straight to hell.

First crack in the freedom of speech: for every opinion that the FCC doesn't like there's a threat and the network caved out of fear. Losing his job isn't the problem, it's the fact that the government didn't like what a voice was saying, threatened, and then the government got what it wanted. Imagine how messed this up this would have been if a liberal president goes after a conservative tv personality because they don't agree with an opinion.

The fact that Mark Ruffalo thinks that the firing of a low ratings talk show ho is going to "break America" shows how out of touch with reality he is. ABC finally found a reason to drop Kimmel and they took it. He was costing them millions of dollars a year.

All kimmel had to do was be classy, and not so damn smug and snotty, and not be hellbent on invoking his gutter politics. Really, that's ALL he had to do.
Has ever spoken up when it was someone else getting fired over words? Because as I recall, he cheers then that happens. You reap what you sow, little jimmy.

I think everyone that is making it political cant see the forest for the trees. A man was killed. Period. Doesnt matter who he was or who he voted for. He didnt deserve it. They have identified who they believe the killer is. Doesnt matter who he voted for, who his parents voted for, who he was in a relationship with. He took someone's life simply because he thought he could. Anyone that would make fun of that situation on either side, for either family, has no humanity. Its not a joke, its not funny. Its not satire. Its peoples' lives. People that want to justify their lack of humanity by saying "but what about" disgust me. We could have talked about "but what about" when it happened if you were that fired up about it, but you werent, so stop with your fake outrage.

No one cares. Also cencora stock, which is the parent company of ABC is up over 8% over the last 6 months. They are fine. And it ticked down about 4.5% since canceling Jimmy. They will bounce back within a week.
