Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show was pulled from ABC “indefinitely” Wednesday after he made controversial comments about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The late-night comic, 57, came under fire after he claimed the “MAGA gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s savage public assassination.
earlier this month, Radnor confessed that his podcast came to be after rewatching the CBS series with his wife, Jordana Jacobs. “She wanted to watch the show and it had been 20 years since it premiered and I called Craig Thomas, who I remained very dear friends with one of the creators, and I said, ‘I’m gonna rewatch the show, do you want to do something a little more formal and kind of like have some conversations on the record about this strange time in our lives and what it was like and what it meant?'” he told the “Modern Family” alum, 49.
After completing the first season, Radnor admitted, “I’ve actually been really delighted and it’s been quite healing for me.”The “Liberal Arts” alum realized he was a bit critical of himself back in the day. “Because I don’t know if you went through this, but like, especially in the early seasons, I was incredibly hard on myself,” Radnor shared, “and… I found it hard to watch myself and now I’m watching it with some distance and some like more tenderness and compassion for myself. And I’m like, ‘You were doing a really good job. You were doing a really good job in a really hard role.'” Along with Radnor, the series also starred Neil Patrick Harris as Barney, Cobie Smulders as Robin, Jason Segel as Marshall and Alyson Hannigan as Lily.The CBS project instantly became a cult classic, even spearheading the spinoff, “How I Met Your Father” in 2022. The sitcom lasted two seasons and ended in 2023.©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection “And it’s like whatever boot I had on my own neck around it has kind of released,” Radnor continued on the pod, “and I’ve just been like, ‘Oh, I get why people love this show. I get why they’re connected to my character.’ Like I’ve been able to look at it much more compassionately and kind of almost like, I love this thing.” Despite being open to revisiting that time in his life now, there was a period where the podcast host tried to distance himself from the character. “In some ways, I always ran things through a bit of a ‘How I Met Your Mother’ algorithm in terms of, is this far enough away from the tone of the show. I was really looking for roles that just felt really different,” Radnor told People in Feburary. “It’s tiring to run from such a big part of yourself and your career.”“I think that part of me doing this is just to almost call a truce with it and say like, ‘All right, you’ve given me a lot. You’ve taken a lot from me. I don’t want to be at odds with you, so let’s just turn around and see.’ I think there’s something that will be psychologically healthy for me about it, to re-engage at this age.” “The way my life was for about six years was I would be shooting ‘How I Met Your Mother,’” he said on the Hollywood Reporter’s “” podcast. “And during that time, I would be writing a movie that we would then shoot on the four months off and get done in time to get back to ‘How I Met Your Mother.’”“And it was an amazing time. It was an electric time. But I also was getting a little tired and I was starting to not enjoy myself so much,” admitted Segel. “And that was a bummer because I was doing such cool things.”Jimmy Kimmel hosted just one right-leaning guest in past four years -- and it came with a condition3.6KAshley Olsen shows off new hair color as she ramps up public appearances
