None of this is funny. Comedy isn\u2019t funny anymore. Shows aren\u2019t entertaining, movies aren\u2019t entertaining anymore. Whenever you have to say things like that to engage your audience, you basically might as well exit stage left. I don\u2019t think that the American people want to see this sort of thing. Even the ones who didn\u2019t vote for Donald Trump. So I agree with Melania I think Jimmy Kimmel \u2015 Melania and the president\u00a0\u2015 I think Jimmy Kimmel needs to leave ABC.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Like this article?
