In this Sunday bonus episode, Johnny Mac addresses the ongoing controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), which is receiving numerous complaints about pulling Kimmel's show.

Mac points out the implications of boycotting ABC-owned properties, such as Disney, Hulu, ESPN, and more. He explores Jimmy Kimmel's unique path from radio to late-night TV, compares him to other late-night hosts, and discusses the political entanglements of late-night comedy. The episode concludes with Bill Carter's analysis of ABC's challenging position in standing by Kimmel amidst threats from the Trump administration and Sinclair Broadcasting's refusal to air Kimmel's show.
