Topic: Jimmy Allen

Jimmy Kimmel joked that CBS is replacing Stephen Colbert with Byron Allen’s "Comics Unleashed," though it was clarified that Allen is actually purchasing the late-night time slot for his own programming. This move is expected to be more profitable for the network than traditional late-night shows. The segment also features an anecdote about Hollywood producer Dana Brunetti, known for "House of Cards" and "Fifty Shades of Grey," who is a listener of the podcast.

The hosts discuss the 55th Annual Country Music Awards, noting that viewership matched an all-time low of 6.6 million viewers. They criticize the "pandering" nature of the performances and a specific segment on ABC's Good Morning America where Michael Strahan was hit by a massive "confetti bomb." The discussion suggests that celebrity-driven award shows are losing their influence over the general public.

Actor Tim Allen appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and compared the current political climate in Hollywood to 1930s Germany. Allen described the pressure to conform to specific liberal beliefs and the backlash faced by those who attended the presidential inauguration. The hosts praise Allen for speaking out about the exclusionary nature of the entertainment industry.
