Kimmel: Talk Show Hosts Are Liberal Because the Job Requires Intelligence

If by "intelligence" he means "bias," then yes.

Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, whose anti-Trump contempt and leftist bias on the air have become almost obsessive, just openly confirmed what all of us conservatives already knew: he thinks we're stupid.

In a live event for a Progressive podcast run by former Barack Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau (not to be confused with leftist Hollywood director Jon Favreau) called Pod Save America, Kimmel had this to say:

“It just so happens that almost every talk show host is a liberal and that’s because it requires a level of intelligence.”

The media elite like Kimmel live in such a smug, self-satisfied bubble that they don't even realize how laughable it is to claim that being a talk show host requires some sort of exceptional intelligence. All it requires is being comfortable in front of cameras and a live audience; apart from that, Jimmy, you're just chatting with equally shallow celebrities and reading jokes written for you by a team of writers. It's not rocket science.

Secondly, the reason all late night talk show hosts are lefties is because of the self-selecting Progressive bias in Hollywood. No conservative talk show host would ever get through the door of any network besides Fox News.

Does anyone really believe that any of the court jesters below are intellectually superior to (or even as entertaining as) Mark Steyn, Mark Levin, Dennis Prager, Larry Elder, Andrew Klavan, or Ben Shapiro, to name just a handful of conservative media personalities?

Harvard-educated attorney, author, and conservative commentator Shapiro, whose podcast audience is surpassed only by Oprah herself, had a pointed comment about Kimmel's lack of self-awareness:
