We’re now three days into the Jimmy Kimmel situation, and I’m not going to pretend it won’t dominate today’s column. It’s an atom bomb dropped on the First Amendment that was further punctuated by the President of the United States saying it should be illegal for anyone to go on TV and say things that make him look bad. This is such a brazenly cartoon villain overreach that you have wobbly jellyfish Ted Cruz breaking ranks. Hollywood is rightly activated, and you know things are serious when Conan O’Brien is taking a rare political stance. He’s not only saying it like it is, but he’s calling out anyone who thinks any of this is OK.
The suspension of @jimmykimmel and the promise to silence other Late Night hosts for criticizing the administration should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center. It’s wrong and anyone with a conscience knows it’s wrong.

Netflix might throw a wrench in Paramount gobbling up Warner Bros. (Gizmodo)
The ladies of The View are being suspiciously quiet, but can you honestly blame them when the head of the FCC is out there literally saying they’re next? (Variety)
I’m not saying this is the worst thing about the Kimmel news, but Bill Maher having a legitimate reason to talk about himself is up there. (LateNighter)
Holy crap, even Michael Eisner crawled out of the woodwork to rough up Disney. (Fortune)
I know he sucks, but Adam Carolla backing his old pal Jimmy is good. He has a right wing audience, and they need to be told that all of this wrong. (New York Post)
Bob Iger’s wife was supposed to hold a free speech fundraiser next month, and let’s just say, people now have reservations about attending. Womp womp. (THR)
