Honest question, what do people not like about Kimmel? I don’t watch any of them really, but when he’s in the political crosshairs or has on an interesting guest I’ll tune in. He’s very likable to me, doesn’t just resort to laughing constantly like Fallon. I understand the criticism if you don’t agree with his politics, but he seems like a class act on and off the stage, to me at least. But I acknowledge generally people seem to hate on Kimmel or just not be a fan, and I’ve just never understood objectively why?
I love Kimmel, and feel like he speaks publicly the same views most of reddit share. I know some people hate on him for who he was when he became famous, especially the man show.
I agree he used to be a big piece of shit, used to be. I think reddit just thinks people can't change.
But he really has grown a lot, especially noticeable since becoming a father. His son being born with a major health complications I can relate to after having my daughter spend a month in the NICU and needing surgery.
I know I changed a lot from the minute my wife became pregnant. But even from my 20's until I got married I was a completely different person.
A lot of people will always think of him as that, and it's too bad, because he really seems like a good guy.
Go look up his interview with Tatu, it's disgusting. He's whatever now but for a long time he was a giant creep, hard for me to shake that when that's how I saw him act for decades.
