Dana Walden on Shogun, The Bear, Why Kimmel Won’t Host

Dana Walden had an above-average Wednesday morning. The co-chair of Disney Entertainment, with a sprawling portfolio of platforms (Hulu, Disney+, FX) and studios (20th Television, Disney-Branded Television), saw her various outfits earn a total of 183 Emmy nominations earlier in the day.

Buoyed by FX output like Shogun and The Bear, perennial Hulu darling Only Murders in the Building and ABC broadcast unicorn Abbott Elementary, the parent company heads into the 2024 Primetime Emmys with its most nominations to date. Hopping on the phone to discuss that feat, Walden also opened up about the decision to renew one-time limited series Shogun, what Ryan Murphy brings to the company now that he’s left Netflix, giving Jimmy Kimmel a pass on hosting the Emmys and why the…

“You can watch on the TV … at Rikers”: Jimmy Kimmel may host next Oscars to spite Trump

Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump can’t seem to stop beefing.

During the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday night monologue, Kimmel responded to Trump’s recent Truth Social tirade aimed at him, the latest in a series of ongoing jabs between the two. “Stupid Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards, especially when he showed he suffered from TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, to the entire World by reading on air my TRUTH about how bad a job he was doing that night, right before he stumbled through announcing the biggest award of all, ‘Picture of the Year,'” Trump wrote on Wednesday morning.

The war of words between Jimmy Kimmel and former President Donald Trump began onstage from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday. And in a post-ceremony backstage interview, the 2024 Oscars host shed light on the moment being quickly incorporated into the broadcast.

I just got a review.”

The late night host then proceeded to read a post that Trump shared on his social media platform, Truth Social. “Has there…

Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Donald Trump at the 2024 Oscars

Since Jimmy Kimmel had an “extra minute” toward the end of the 2024 Academy Awards on Sunday, he decided to use his time to call out former President Donald Trump.

“I’m really proud of something and I was wondering if I could share it with you. I just got a review,” the host quipped. Kimmel proceeded to read a post that Trump shared on his social media platform Truth Social.

“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars,” the post read. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.”

The post continued, “Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. He would make…
