Jimmy Kimmel’s cousin and longtime collaborator Sal Iacono says there are more “bombshells” yet to be revealed regarding the late-night host being pulled off the air.
Last week, Jimmy Kimmel Live! was taken off the air after the host made controversial remarks about the political response to the arrest of Tyler Robinson, the suspected gunman behind the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Donald Trump celebrated Kimmel’s axing, calling it “Great News for America.”
Speaking on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Iacono said he didn’t want to reveal too much as he’s aware many Jimmy Kimmel Live! staff members could still lose their jobs, but continued: “I wish I could say anything. There are a couple bombshells still there. I’m feeling good. We’re going to be all right. Everything’s going to be just fine.”
He also agreed that Kimmel would be fine whatever happens in the fallout, agreeing with host Simmons when he said: “He’ll be fine, whatever he wants to do. He might just want to be a pop-up chef and start making barbecue around the South Bay. He’ll do a great job.”
