Megyn Kelly Calls Out ABC's Hypocrisy Over Jimmy Kimmel

0:00It's April 28th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered and star driven. Megan Kelly is calling out ABC for what she sees as straight-up hypocrisy in handling Jimmy Kimmel's latest monologue. On her show Tuesday, April 28th, the 55-year-old commentator ripped into the network over Kimmel's joke, labeling first lady Melania, Trump an expectant widow. Kelly argues ABC gives late-night comics a pass when they target Republicans, but crushes its own talent for lesser offenses. She drew a sharp contrast to 2021 when ABC forced out longtime bachelor host Chris Harrison. Harrison defended old photos of a contestant at a theme ball, saying folks shouldn't judge past events by today's standards. The network made him gravel on Good Morning America, apologized for insensitivity, and his 20-year career tanked, he never came back. Kelly highlighted the double-standard, noting ABC humiliated Harrison as a supposed racist, while shrugging off Kimmel's digs at the Trumps.

No moves yet from ABC on this, but they did suspend Kimmel back in September 2025 over comments on a right-wing activist murder, sparking free speech debates before he returned. Kelly demands the network live by its own rules, no bending them just because the targets are conservatives. This feud underscores how media standards shift with politics, leaving folks wondering if fairness will ever hit prime time again.
