| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about |
| 0:08.4 | Jimmy Kimmel, Democrats calling for the FCC head to resign, and where we go from here. |

| 0:22.9 | ABC indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live, after he made jokes about the politicization of |
