Jimmy Kimmel will once again be appearing at upfronts for Disney’s ABC … just like he’s done for the past 20 years, TMZ has learned.
Multiple sources tell us … Jimmy will be there — news that would usually make for a ho-hum headline, but with all the drama in which he’s been ensnared with President Donald Trump, interest in whether he’d be at the key TV advertising event was piqued.
It appears that Jimmy being there is status quo — but of course, his most recent spat with Trump’s White House has dominated media coverage — even though it sure seems to already be dwindling.
Even though Jimmy clarified he was simply making a joke about their age gap — and not inciting violence — Trump’s administration is already asserting pressure. The FCC has ordered all Disney-owned TV stations to file their broadcast license renewals early.
Bottom line … as far as upfronts, there’s no tea leaves to read — so just enjoy the presentation.
We’ve reached out to a rep for Kimmel and ABC for comment … so far, no word back.
