“Three years ago I was equally liked by Republicans and Democrats,” Kimmel said in a CBS Sunday Morning profile. “And then Republican numbers went way down, like 30% or whatever. And, you know, as a talk show host, that’s not ideal.” Kimmel says of his political monologues, “I would do it again in a heartbeat,” adding: “I’d love for everyone — I want everyone with a television to watch the show But if they’re so turned off by my opinion on health care and gun violence, then I don’t know. I probably won’t want to have a conversation with them anyway.” ALSO: Kimmel says ABC never stepped in over his monologues: “They had more concerns about my beard.”
