Should we talk about Jimmy Kimmel?
00:00:02
Why not? Jimmy is a friend of both of
00:00:04
ours. Um, I have a picture of me and
00:00:06
Jimmy in my house. Do I have one of me
00:00:08
and you?
00:00:09
Yeah. Barry turned like this.
00:00:11
I don't really go out much. There's not
00:00:13
many of me photos of me. I'm
00:00:14
underground, man.
00:00:16
Well, it's not a hot take for us to say
00:00:18
we're all for freedom of speech.
00:00:20
Sure.
00:00:20
You know, when I was a little kid, it
00:00:21
was like, oh, you you have to allow
00:00:24
speech you really don't like. And also
00:00:26
people I mean when you're on SNL Charles
00:00:28
Rocket got fired for saying [ __ ]
00:00:31
I let you know [ __ ]
00:00:34
[ __ ] it's FCC then it's affiliates then
00:00:37
it's advertisers. You're answering to so
00:00:38
many people.
00:00:39
The chairman of the FCC. When you say
00:00:42
regards Jimmy Kimmel's whatever that's
00:00:44
going to happen to him. We can do this
00:00:46
the easy way or the hard way. It's like
00:00:48
that's
00:00:50
when do those guys talk anyway? This
00:00:52
guy's like on podcast. I'm like, "What?
00:00:54
Where? Why am I seeing this guy talk?"
00:00:55
That push buttons uh for uh both sides
00:00:58
really. Ted Cruz came out. No, no, no.
00:01:00
Take it easy. Let's slow down. When I
00:01:02
did the Dana Carvey show, I like to
00:01:04
bring things back to me, but this is 97
00:01:07
and we're after home improvement and we
00:01:11
did some Clinton with tits and something
00:01:14
that crushed the ratings and offended a
00:01:15
lot of people.
00:01:16
I invite the American people to suckle
00:01:18
on my teeth.
00:01:21
We immediately started losing
00:01:23
advertisers. We immediately started
00:01:26
losing affiliates. And so we lasted
00:01:29
eight episodes. Affiliates.
00:01:31
I know. I don't know what I say
00:01:32
affiliates all the time. I don't even
00:01:34
know what they are for real.
00:01:35
Stations, you know,
00:01:36
stations in cities. Chat stations in
00:01:38
WKRP.
