I can tell you exactly what Kimmel is thinking. He’s close friends with Howard Stern. Even if he doesn’t follow Howard’s path, he still has someone to talk to who went up against the FCC and didn’t back down.
Even if this gets treated like a Stalinist show trial, Kimmel is in no danger. The worst outcome for him is that he remains comfortably in the 1% for the rest of his life. He wants to continue to do the show but not desperately. The longer this goes on the better he looks and the worse Disney looks. Kimmel benefits by letting it play out slowly.
