okes and gags, this is from the New York Post, his jokes and gags targeted conservatives 88% of the time in 2023. So in 2023, 88% of the jabs were at conservatives. And it went to 97% this year. So 97% of all of his jabs were in one direction.

Now keep in mind that the FCC allows the airwaves to be used by ABC, CBS, NBC only to the extent that they're a public good. You know, they're a benefit to the public. But also on top of that there's a specific requirement that they can't be politically one-sided. That if they have a Democrat on, they probably ought to have a Republican on and vice versa. So they're supposed to make some attempt to balance out the time and the politics. Does it look like they did that? Does it look like Jimmy Kimmel's staff and people, does it look like they were attempting to have anything like a balance that is required for them to fulfill their license? Well, no. No. It would appear that they grossly violated the FCC regulations.

Now, as I've said before, the FCC's had a very longstanding, very clear standard that you can't just be on one side if you have one of their public airwaves. Other people can. If you're a cable, if you're Fox News, you could just be biased all day long. There's nothing illegal, immoral. I mean it may be suboptimal, but it's not immoral. But if you got one of those public airwaves, you better get equal time. And they clearly didn't.

I saw most of you know who Gavin McInnes is. He was one of the many people who got canceled during the great cancellations, but apparently he knew Jimmy Kimmel pretty well. And he believes that Jimmy Kimmel's second wife is the ultra woke person who ruined him. I guess Jimmy Kimmel was an ordinary boy and he got turned into some kind of a weird monster by his second wife. That's Gavin's take on it. I'm paraphrasing, of course.

And I think he compared it to the Howard Stern situation where Howard was a guy's guy and then he gets married the second time and suddenly he's the wokest guy around and everything's different.

So one of the things that does not match well with humor, if that's your job, if your job is a professional humorist or a professional comedian, one thing that doesn't match with that at all is a wife because a spouse is quite reasonably, you know, there's nothing wrong with this, the spouse is going to be thinking about the family unit as the thing that needs to be protected. The crazy performer person, you know, and I'm in that category, we're thinking about how to make the biggest impact, you know, what gets the biggest audience, you know, how do I get a special on Netflix or whatever I'm trying to do. So it's very natural that the spouse would be in a more, you know, you don't want to do that. You better take the popular view on this one, you know. So it's very incompatible.

The best and funniest, well let's take Bill Burr. Does Bill Burr, do I even need to finish that? If any of you watch Bill Burr, do you think that his wife is an influence on what he can and cannot say? I don't know, but it sure looks like it. And it looks like it degrades his effectiveness. The funniest comedians, I think, are single people or somebody who's got a rare kind of a spouse who says some version of, you know, go for it. But that's probably not the most common instinct.

And by the way, here I am not criticizing wives whatsoever. If a wife is protecting her husband and protecting the family, you know, and maybe at the cost of that extra million dollars, but you're already doing fine, is the wife wrong? I would say no. I would say that would be a perfectly correct and moral and ethical, legal thing to do to try to make sure the family stays as strong as it could be. But it does hurt the humor.

I also heard from Gavin McInnes that Jimmy Kimmel is a very good cartoonist. Did you know that he did some cartoons for I guess Vice back in the day? What are the odds of that? Now I have to completely reshape my opinion.

I don't know if I've ever told you this before, but on top of a general professional courtesy that I feel toward Jimmy Kimmel and anybody in that business, because I'm sort of tangentially in the public humor business, i
