<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Late night host Jimmy Kimmel has a theory about how Trump won the 2024 election. In his opinion, it came down to comedians being “canceled” for telling funny jokes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 57-year-old celebrity shared his opinion during a newly published <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/jimmy-kimmel-trump-late-night-future-interview-1235315906/">interview</a> with Rolling Stone. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t put limits on what I laugh at,” Kimmel said. “But for me personally, as I’ve grown older, as I’ve matured, I won’t make a joke that I wouldn’t make if a person of that color or persuasion was in the room. That’s how I look at it. I think a lot of the outrage is completely manufactured, and it’s like, a lot of these people who are angry aren’t really angry. I think these liberals who’ve done such a good job of viciously attacking comedians are a big part of the reason why Trump is the president right now.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The comedian expanded on what he meant, mentioning how he thought people were fed up with being told what they were allowed to think was funny.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I just think human beings in general, when you see something that makes you laugh and you see a bunch of other people laughing, and then somebody steps in with their arms folded and goes, ‘That’s not funny, and here’s why that’s not funny,’ it just doesn’t give you a good feeling about a person. And you want to say to that person, ‘Lighten up,’” he said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kimmel went on, “There’s no black and white when it comes to comedy. There is no line. The line is different for every person. Dave Chappelle can say things that somebody else might not be able to. I don’t think anybody should be canceled. I really don’t.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He also mentioned his intention of continuing to focus on President Trump during his nightly monologues. “It was 2016, and I had Hillary Clinton on,” he told the outlet. “I said to Hillary during a commercial break, ‘I hope Trump gets the nomination. I think he’ll be a slam-dunk for you.’ And she said, ‘Be careful what you wish for.’ I’m not in the group of people who thought he might win. Listen, when O.J. was found not guilty, I was just absolutely shocked. I had that same feeling.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I had this faith in America that was shaken, and I still am not over it,” Kimmel said. “I thought that when it comes down to it, this country, we do the right thing. That’s obviously in the past.”</span></p>
