Hour 1: Late Night Is Dead | 09-23-25

Lionel breaks down the drama surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s return following his week-long suspension, arguing that “nobody cares”. Lionel insists Kimmel’s removal was political, threatened by President Trump and his allies. This return is dismissed as a “corporate box checking little exercise” and a “distraction”, confirming that Kimmel is merely a “pawn in a dying industry”. Dive into why the late night model is dead and how the focus on Kimmel distracts from the true cultural tragedy: the assassination and “martyrdom of Charlie Kirk”. The show examines the inversion of priorities by a media running on fumes, rejecting the official story of Kirk’s death while discussing independent platforms driving real conversation.
