From Controversy to Continuity

Despite some turbulent times, including a brief suspension earlier this year following a monologue involving political commentary, Kimmel is keeping his comedic throne.

“I am pleased to announce another no-talent year!” Kimmel quipped via Instagram, showcasing his trademark humor.

Hollywood Connection
