Jimmy Kimmel doesn't want to appeal to Trump fans because "I don't think that world exists anymore"

The Daily Beast

Last October, Kimmel said of losing Republican viewers in the wake of his anti-Trump monologues, "not good riddance, but riddance." Asked about those comments recently, Kimmel told The Daily Beast: "Maybe I shouldn’t have said I don’t care. I don’t care enough to change what I’m doing is probably a more explicit explanation. I’m sure ABC would love it if my show appealed to everyone. But I don’t think that world exists anymore. And I’m not comfortable in it. I don’t really see any other path. I also think one of the biggest mistakes you can make as a performer is trying to guess what your audience wants. I think you need to do what you think is right and hope that it works out."
