Kimmel has at least as much experience as Trump had in 2016... ExciteBike66 Oct 2017 #1

And Fox "News" is basically entertainment for Trumpsters. No genuine reporting, or analysis. emulatorloo Oct 2017 #2

Lol, even if you believe he is gaining experience, he is showing that it is teaching him nothing... ExciteBike66 Oct 2017 #6

Kimmel has an "everyman" quality Orangeutan Oct 2017 #3

Their fucking worthless POS president is a reality game show host! Initech Oct 2017 #4

This is the network that showcased Sarah Failin for so long. lpbk2713 Oct 2017 #7

that comes through loud and clear in his monologues. That is what Fox fears. Colbert fits better the image of a member of the elite intelligentsia, but Jimmy is just Jimmy, a likeable guy you could have a beer with, and Fox worries he'll make a dent in the demographics because he's so relatable for the common person.
