ABC’s late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel gutted Disney bosses Tuesday, saying, “We’re building a giant streaming mountain that’s supported by advertising.”
“Bob Iger should be retired by now and should be sailing away on a yacht somewhere. Instead, he’s here pretending to be excited about the new season of ‘Will Fucking Trent.’ “I’m here,” Kimmel said of Disney CEO Bob Iger during the company’s annual advance presentation to advertising executives in New York City. report by hollywood reporter.
“Bob tried to sell us last year, put us up for sale, and as if that wasn’t enough, no one wanted to buy us,” Kimmel continued. “When no one was interested, Bob literally explained that he wasn’t trying to sell us, he was just testing the waters of Wall Street.”
“You know, Bob, when people test the waters, they usually dip their toes in. You don’t drown kids,” the late-night host added.
Kimmel reportedly teased streaming bundles, saying, “We’re doing bundles. From the outside this may seem like an act of desperation, but from the inside it looks like… It is,” he declared.
“We didn’t want to stick together, but we had to. Like when we were freezing to death, when it was so cold that we had to get into a sleeping bag with my uncle to keep from dying.” We’ve seen our churn rate. It’s not just churn. It’s Chernobyl,” Kimmel declared.
The TV host then called these bundles “merging” and building “a giant ad-supported streaming mountain.”
“Finally, people can turn on their TV and watch all their channels in one package for one price, all ad-supported. We call it ‘basic cable.’ This will blow your mind. We are proceeding with integration. “We’re building a giant ad-supported streaming mountain,” he said.
“It must be a good idea because there are already copycats out there,” Kimmel continued. “Netflix, Apple, and Peacock today announced a new bundle, StreamSaver.”
Kimmel went on to attack former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, adding: StreamSaver sounds like a catheter sold at TuckerCarlson.com. ”
