Greetings: Dept. of No Surprises: Trump called the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel “Great News for America.”  Except he called the suspension a cancellation in last night’s Truth Social post. Sloppiness on Trump’s part or wishful thinking? He also slammed NBC’s late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers as “total losers,” urging their network bosses  to “do it” to them too…..What happens to Bill Maher now?  Mr. Politically Incorrect might have had a friendly White House  dinner with The Donald and Kid Rock last spring, still that doesn’t mean he’s immune from getting kicked to the curb by his corporate masters.  Will the self-proclaimed fearless Maher defend his fellow late night denizen Kimmel?  His “Real Time” airs on HBO Max tomorrow night.  Worth noting: the streamer’s parent is Warner Bros. Discovery, target of a potential Paramount Skydance takeover. Paramount Skydance is controlled by David Ellison, son of the richest man in the world, Larry Ellison. This gazillionaire father/son team is cozy with Trump. Ellison, the elder, is close to owning TikTok, a deal that has the blessings of the MAGA-in-Chief. Maher would be cancelled in a  New York minute if he was seen as an impediment to the Ellison’s building their media empire. It’s worth remembering that the jettisoning of “Late Night with Stephen Colbert” was collateral damage during the Skydance/Paramount merger earlier this year…Can’t help but wonder about “Saturday Night Live.” The late night fixture, a perpetual needler of politicians, left and right, for more than half a century, has its season premier October 4. Will SNL’s anti-administration tone be muted?…. Dept. of Corrections: Yesterday I erroneously called ChatGPT ChatCBT.  It’s not wise to anger the AI gods….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
