Jimmy Kimmel roasts ABC, Constance Wu, Les Moonves and Felicity Huffman at upfronts

The Hollywood Reporter

Kimmel displayed Wu's "Ugh. F*ck" tweet in reaction to Fresh Off the Boat's renewal for Season 6, telling the upfront crowd: "Only on ABC is getting your show picked up the worst thing that could happen to you." He also brought up This Is Us' renewal for three seasons: "Or as Constance Wu would call it — a death sentence." Kimmel went on to note this was his 16th upfronts, and that he was there when Desperate Housewives was rolled out in 2004. "Those were back in the days when Felicity Huffman only played a scheming suburban mom," he joked. Kimmel also took a bunch of shots at ABC. "This will be the final season of Modern Family. Modern Family was the rarest of ABC shows — a hit," he joked. "We don’t see many of them around these parts." He added: "What a year it’s been for all of us. I mean, Roseanne is gone and the measles are back. Remember last year when you got you all excited for Take Two and The Kids Are Alright and Roseanne and Speechless? Well, canceled, canceled, racist, canceled." Kimmel also took shots at Les Moonves: "Speaking of saying goodbye to a beloved television institution, remember last year when you guys gave Les Moonves a standing ovation? That was funny," Kimmel said. "Whoops. That I still don’t understand. I mean, how is it possible that a network whose logo is literally an eye did not see that coming?"
