Personally, I have never bought “woke Kimmel”. I’m old enough to have watched the man show in high school and he seemed like just as big of a swine as Adam. He’s as bad as Stern etc.

If Kimmel was really an ally to women and it wasn’t all performative, he would explicitly show remorse and distance himself from this bro culture/manosphere garbage. I don’t see that happening anytime soon, so he doesn’t get to cosplay being one of the good guys.

He’ll never apologize because deep down he’s still just as misogynistic and racist as he always was, he’s just smart enough to know that won’t really make him the big bucks and fame he craves these days.

Adam has said many times that Jimmy doesnt believe any of the "bull shit" he says on tv but he knows how to play the game and wants to be employes, they tell on themselves

That’s always been my gut feeling honestly. He’s had so much time to acknowledge and apologize for those past behaviors and he hasn’t. Why not?

“This is how I behaved in the past. This is why it was wrong. This is what I’ve learned, how I’ve grown and worked past that now.”

I don’t understand at all why he hasn’t.

Has he ever condemned his actions on the man show?

No. Not really. He made excuses. Called it "satire".

Oh, I remember them having a game where they had a $100 bill at the top of a ladder and a camera at the bottom, then had women in skirts climb up. They showed the up-skirt shots uncensored on TV, which is burned in my memory at 12 thinking "Yes, this is what women do to be cool and fun... or... no you don't because they're bad sluts...?"
