Nearly one week after Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show was indefinitely pulled off the air, co-hosts from The View addressed his suspension.
Whoopi Goldberg asked this Monday morning to the audience,’ Did you all really think that we were not going to be talking about Jimmy Kimmel?’ That’s because multiple episodes flew by, and many of the ladies chose to keep their mouths shut.
‘I mean, have you watched the show over the last 29 seasons?’- the EGOT winner questioned, reminding the viewers that nobody can silence us.
Goldberg went on to add how she and her co-hosts had taken a breath of fresh air to see whether Kimmel was going to speak out regarding this scandal.point 364 |
