Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong> recently weighed in on who should be the next Disney CEO<\/strong>. Although he thinks his opinion isn\u2019t a key factor in the matter and that it\u2019s \u201cvery foolish\u201d of him to answer, he said that Dana Walden should be next in line for the role.<\/p>\n During an interview at the Bloomberg Screentime event, Jimmy Kimmel shared that he would like to see Dana Walden, the current Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment, be the next Disney CEO.<\/p>\n \u201cIt would be very foolish for me to answer that question, but I happen to love Dana Walden very much,\u201d Kimmel shared. \u201cI think what has happened over the last, like three weeks, I think was very unfair to my bosses at Disney, and I don\u2019t think anyone should ever be put in a position like this.\u201d (via Deadline<\/a>)<\/p>\n His comments came after he credited Walden and Bob Iger, the current Disney CEO, who helped him bring his show Jimmy Kimmel Live! back on the air. He recalled having \u201cgood conversations\u201d with the two while negotiating his show\u2019s return.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are people that I, I\u2019ve known for a long time, and who I like very much, and we all wanted this to work out best,\u201d the late-night host shared. \u201cFirst of all, I ruined Dana\u2019s weekend. It was just non-stop phone calls all weekend. But I don\u2019t think the result, which I think turned out to be very positive, would have been as positive if I hadn\u2019t talked to Dana as much as I did, because it helped me think everything through, and it helped me understand where everyone was coming from because I can sometimes be reactionary.\u201d<\/p>\n Later, when asked if he\u2019d like FCC chair Brendan Carr and\/or President Trump to be on his show, he responded, \u201cI\u2019d love to have Trump on the show, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally reported by Harsha Panduranga on\u00a0Comingsoon<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n The post Jimmy Kimmel Says Dana Walden Should Be Disney\u2019s CEO After Bob Iger<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jimmy Kimmel recently weighed in on who should be the next Disney CEO.
