Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel ripped ‘repulsive’ liberal voices that he says are scaring people away from the Democratic Party.
While appearing on the Sarah Silverman Podcast, Kimmel slammed the ‘loud’ left for woke cancel culture that turns people off.
“It’s not about the party or the majority. It’s those loud voices that intimidate people from expressing their true opinions and make you reconsider making a joke or anything,” the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! commented.
“Many of their points are valid, but some of them just push people away. They make others think, ‘You’re no fun. I don’t want to be around you.’ If you had to simplify it, that’s what it comes down to,” he explained.
Kimmel and Silverman talked about how Trump supporters who regret voting for him have been criticized by the left on social media.
Silverman noted the hate that podcaster Joe Rogan received after criticizing the president’s second term.
“Now, you see clips of Rogan saying things like, ‘Why is he doing this? He shouldn’t be deporting people,’ and people react with, ‘Screw you, you supported him.’ I don’t subscribe to that. I don’t approve of the ‘screw you, you supported him’ attitude,” Kimmel expressed.
“We have to keep the door open for those wanting to change their minds. Admitting you’re wrong is difficult and rare, but you’re always welcome to do so,” he concluded.

“It’s not about the party or the majority. It’s the vocal few that scare people from speaking their minds and make them rethink their jokes or comments,” Kimmel stated.

Kimmel’s remarks come as Fox News host Greg Gutfeld gave glowing praise of fellow late night host Jimmy Fallon for not being afraid of the left’s cancel culture.
Gutfeld, who appeared on Fallon’s show Thursday night, joked that the pairing was ‘the biggest crossover since the Harlem Globetrotters visited “The Golden Girls.”‘
The Fox host dubbed Fallon ‘a great, genuine guy who wants to make people laugh instead of putting them to bed angrier than ‘The View at a salad bar.’
But it was his praise of Fallon’s late-night show that grabbed everyone’s attention, as he applauded Fallon’s ability to break from the typical liberal late-night mold.
‘Unlike the other guys, Jimmy doesn’t reside in a liberal echo chamber,’ Gutfeld said.
He also noted Fallon’s decision to ‘humanize’ former President Donald Trump in 2016 by playfully ruffling his hair – a move that many on the left found controversial.
‘The angry mob wanted a brutal take-down, but Jimmy did something different. He had fun, which is criminal to the liberal hive,’ Gutfeld remarked.
The praise comes as the industry grapples with uncertainty following the cancellation of CBS host Stephen Colbert’s late-night show.
CBS announced that the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which launched in 2015, will come to an end in May 2026.

CBS announced that the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which launched in 2015, will come to an end in May 2026 – which caused many other late-night hosts to fear if they could be next to get chopped.
Kimmel blasted the network for cancelling the show and posted a clip of the announcement with the caption, ‘Love you Stephen.’
The shocking cancellation was announced just days after Colbert slammed the network for paying $16million to settle a lawsuit the president filed – with some speculating that the axe fell as political retaliation.
The network explained in a statement that the decision to cancel the show is ‘purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.’
Colbert didn’t hesitate to take shots at his parent corporation, confessing in his opening monologue that he was ‘offended’ by the actions of his employer.
The late night host called the lawsuit against CBS a ‘nuisance,’ and claimed that Paramount could’ve ‘easily fought it’ – citing the company’s own words calling the allegations ‘completely without merit.’
