I turned off the TV and rarely watch it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJimmy Kimmel and the rest of the \u2018comedians\u2019 lost more than half of their fan base because, with Trump in office, they were no longer funny,\u201d another added. \u201cTheir type of humor became mean-spirited. They do not realize, apparently, that they are supposed to be entertainers who make us laugh, not politicians we learn to despise\u2026because they are NOT funny and are no longer entertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With this new interview, Kimmel has shown that he\u2019s just another liberal elitist who has lost all touch with reality.
