They don’t call it “Hate-Night TV” for nothing.
A few months back members of the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” staff shared their adoration for Luigi Mangione. He’s the young man accused of killing a health care CEO in cold blood.
ABC host Jimmy Kimmel shared the mash notes from staffers aimed at the alleged killer. The former “Man Show” host didn’t see anything wrong with that.
And why not?
Kimmel and co. have been attacking all things GOP so aggressively in recent years they’ve numbed their audiences to real-world consequences.
Now, both “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “The Daily Show” are yukking it up over Tesla dealerships burning across the country. Why?
Elon Musk owns the largest EV car company in the country. That’s why.
The FBI has confirmed to the Review-Journal that the agency “has personnel on scene to offer assistance to LVMPD” after police say an individual set several Tesla vehicles on fire early Tuesday morning in Las Vegas.

“The Daily Show’s” Jordan Klepper, a preening voice of moral superiority, seemed to justify the terrorist attacks.
“Yeah! People might get a little upset if you stopped their medical trial halfway through them. Imagine you had to stop getting your malaria medication, or going home with half a butt lift! Imagine it! Imagine it! You’ll never buy pants off the rack again! Or here’s another guess: Maybe people are mad at you because you don’t seem to know what the [bleep] you’re doing!”
His audience had no qualms about cheering on the violence. They cheered the mayhem, ignoring how Tesla cars remain on the front line of the EV revolution.
Climate Change? What Climate Change?
Plus, Tesla dealerships are run by their fellow Americans. Their livelihood could be threatened by the terrorist attacks.
Or, perhaps, their actual lives might go up in smoke.
Hilarious, no?
The far-Left audience over at ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” similarly cheered the domestic terrorist attacks while Kimmel mugged for the cameras.
Kimmel doubles down: After playing clips of Tesla arson attacks, Kimmel then accuses of Elon of “trying to drum up sympathy for himself” —
— then explains to Elon why he deserves it:

Looking directly into the camera, he sarcastically pleaded, “Please don’t vandalize. Don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles.”
Kimmel paused for effect, letting the sarcasm sink in before moving onto his next bit as the audience laughed.
When the U.S. government shut down businesses nationwide during the pandemic, a move now seen as unnecessary and ineffective, Kimmel mocked those who protested against it. So did Stephen Colbert.
Said protesters didn’t light anything on fire, though.
Meanwhile, “The Late Show’s” Colbert may have to tread carefully on the Tesla front. He’s proudly shared that he owns a Tesla vehicle in the past.
Will he keep that quiet moving forward?
Editor’s Note: It’s a brutal time to be an independent journalist, but it’s never been more necessary given the sorry state of the corporate press. If you’re enjoying Hollywood in Toto, I hope you’ll consider leaving a coin (or two) in our Tip Jar.
