WATCH: JimmyKimmel acknowledges he lost 'half' of his fans over Trump
The host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! made the confession on the Naked Lunch podcast and defended his actions relating to Trump."There was at one time, maybe, I don't know, like right around the beginning of this whole Trump thing where ... that was kind of hinted at," Kimmel said.
"But I just said, 'Listen, I get it. I don't disagree. I mean, you're right.' I have lost half of my fans — maybe more than that," he conceded."Ten years ago, among Republicans, I was the most popular talk show host, at least according to the research that they did." Eventually, Kimmel gave ABC an ultimatum."If you want somebody else to host the show, then that's fine. That's OK with me. I'm just not going to do it like that," he said."They knew I was serious ... I just couldn't live with myself."
Along with defending his bashing of Trump, the late-night host also took the opportunity to defend the current resident of the Oval Office."Joe Biden — look, whatever you think about him, he's a decent human being," according to Kimmel. "He's a nice old man who quite plainly cared about people through[out] his whole life. He's certainly not evil. If you believe that, you've got some real problems."
