“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said, sparking immediate backlash from viewers and critics alike.
The liberal media world erupted in anger once ABC confirmed the show was being yanked. Furious progressives turned their ire on FCC Chairman Brendan Carr after he warned the network that immediate action could be taken if Kimmel remained on the air following such “disgusting” comments.
But while the left fumed, JD Vance decided to pour a little salt in the wound.
On Thursday morning, the Ohio senator took to X (formerly Twitter) with a sarcastic suggestion about who should take Kimmel’s now-vacant late-night spot. His answer? None other than Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
“Everyone please congratulate @marcorubio, the new host of ABC’s late night show!” Vance joked in his viral post, instantly lighting up social media.
The quip quickly spread across Washington, with many insiders laughing at the idea of Rubio — already rumored to be juggling multiple high-level responsibilities inside the administration — suddenly stepping in as a comedy host.
After all, Rubio has been mentioned in recent weeks as filling in temporarily for roles in national security and foreign policy. Why not throw in a late-night gig for good measure?
The truth is, Rubio would almost certainly deliver a far better show than Kimmel, whose brand of “comedy” usually revolves around sneering at middle America while pandering to Hollywood elites. Watching Democrats lose their minds over Rubio telling jokes night after night would be entertainment worth tuning in for.
ABC hasn’t announced who will officially replace Kimmel, but one thing is certain — the network now has an opportunity to break free from the monotonous, left-wing comedy formula that has dominated late-night TV for years.
And as JD Vance made clear, there’s no shortage of conservatives who would happily bring humor, common sense, and maybe even a little fairness back to late-night television.
