Hateful Jimmy Kimmel’s return: Letters

The Issue: Jimmy Kimmel’s return to the air following offensive comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

When people on the left make egregious remarks, all is forgiven (“Jimmy’s back in funny business,” Sept. 22).

Companies are forbidden from any recourse at all. Yet conservatives like Roseanne Barr, Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly are sent into oblivion with no forgiveness there.

So the network decided to put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. I think it was because there was no one on deck to replace him, and ABC desperately needed that time slot filled.

It’s not about politics, it’s about money. This is still a business.

I was so glad to hear that Disney and ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air after his derogatory and disturbing comment about the Charlie Kirk assassination. But it’s very sad that they brought him back.

Late-night hosts like Kimmel and Stephen Colbert are not funny comedians by a long shot. They are boring people, using late-night platforms to spew their derogatory opinions.

Late-night TV is supposed to be entertaining and funny; these two clowns are neither.

So, the sap is back. I think this was all a pathetic ruse to pump the sinking ratings for Kimmel’s show. Kudos to the stations that saw through this idiocy and did not air this late-night failure.

Kimmel is far from funny and, as the once-great Johnny Carson stated in sum and substance, “Why do they think that just because you have a ‘Tonight Show,’ that you must deal in serious issues?”

I hope that the billionaires, members of Congress, media barons, university presidents and law firms who are bowing to President Trump and kissing his ring take a lesson from Jimmy Kimmel and not be afraid to speak out against Trump when they think he’s wrong.

Thank you, Jimmy, for fighting back and highlighting the importance of free speech.

Jimmy Kimmel is back, and Roseanne Barr is still banned. Disney has no backbone. These companies are all hypocrites.

The Issue: Judge Jeffrey Gershuny’s decision to put a serial bank robber on “supervised release.”

Apologists for New York’s no-bail stupidity claim that supervised release is intended to ensure that criminal suspects will return to court to face charges (“Demoted judge frees ‘Bandit,’ ” Sept. 21).

But in the case of Cornell Neilly, the only thing the no-bail policy guarantees is that Neilly will return, not to face charges in court, but to steal money from more banks.

In Neilly’s case, the villain is Judge Jeffrey Gershuny who has never seen a criminal suspect he believes should be jailed, regardless of the seriousness or violent nature of the crime.

Neilly is thus free to walk into your local bank branch today and pass a note demanding thousands. Welcome to New York’s insane criminal justice system in 2025.

Judge Gershuny is the epitome of stupid. He created a security issue by recklessly displaying a firearm in open court. Now he decides to release a career bank robber without bail, even though he has 34 prior arrests for bank robberies, and allegedly committed more while on parole.

He put him on “supervised release.” Who did he assign to supervise him — Mickey Mouse? Gershuny is a detriment to the court and should be removed from the bench immediately.
