“Don’t call it a comeback…” because it isn’t one. Ratings for Jimmy Kimmel Live! have absolutely cratered since the controversial partisan host’s returned to the Disney-owned ABC late-night lineup.
Freedom of speech is supposed to be universal — especially in entertainment, where pushing boundaries and exploring ideas used to be the very purpose of art. But in Hollywood, any number of canceled celebrities will tell you that free expression is conditional.
For decades, Disney was the rare American brand that managed to transcend politics and maintain high favorability. Families from both sides of the aisle flocked to its parks, its films, and its streaming service without a second thought. But that era appears to be over.
A new analysis from Jefferies, based on Morning Consult polling, shows that Disney’s favorability has collapsed among both Democrats and Republicans, marking one of the sharpest declines in the company’s modern history.

The “Cancel Netflix” campaign has only been active for a few days, but Wall Street is already telling the story loud and clear through stock prices.

Beginning September 25, 2025, Disney relocated the Darth Vader meet‑and‑greet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios following the permanent closure of Star Wars: Launch Bay and the Animation Courtyard. Guests can now find him next to Star Tours.
The refurbishment of the Main Street, USA train station at Magic Kingdom concluded in September 2025, following a nine-month project that began earlier in the year. This renovation was part of ongoing efforts to maintain and improve park infrastructure, ensuring...
Late-night television staged an unusual crossover this week as Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert appeared on each other’s shows to publicly commiserate about the crises surrounding their programs.
