Actor James Woods is bashing Jimmy Kimmel in the wake of his boot from late night TV, calling him an “unfunny” money loser who should “eat s–t” — and ripping his supporters as “douchebags.”
On Thursday, the Emmy winner — who has 5 million X followers — feigned support for the embattled funnyman, and then went in for the knockout punch.
“We’ve all made jokes at Jimmy Kimmel’s expense. But Mr. Kimmel is a fellow artist, and I am in fact heartbroken to see the way he has been treated. I believe he is, in his heart of hearts, a good and decent fellow, devoid of malice and hate,” he begins in the post, which racked up 5.3 million views and 235,000 likes.
“Just kidding, Jimbo. Eat s–t.”
On Friday, Woods, 78, also shared The Post headline “Stephen Colbert declares ‘Tonight we are all Jimmy Kimmel’ in solemn show dedicated to canned late night host,” on X and quipped “He’s right. You’re all douchebags.”
That same day, the “Once Upon a Time in America” actor posted a clip of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes,” where the failed vice presidential candidate and frequent visitor to China called Kimmel’s firing “North Korea-style stuff” that “has no place in America.”
“Guys, enough is enough. Kimmel was fired because his show was a massive money loser. He was supposed to be funny, and no one was laughing. It couldn’t be simpler,” Woods posted alongside the video.
Kimmel, 57, was yanked from ABC “indefinitely” Wednesday after he made controversial comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, making a false claim that his alleged killer was a MAGA supporter.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said during his monologue on Monday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“In between the finger-pointing, the White House flew the flag at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president was taking this.”
Kimmel then aired a clip of President Trump being asked how he was doing after Kirk’s murder, to which he replied, “I think very good,” then spoke about renovations at the White House.
“He’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction,” Kimmel added.
“This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish. Okay?”
Woods has also taken to X to profess his support for President Trump, and in November, celebrated his victory by saying, “In historic affirmation of how desperately America has needed Donald Trump back in the White House, the Dow opens +1300 points. The only joy greater than this will be to watch the meltdown of liberal loonies everywhere. May God bless America and may He protect President Trump!”
On Friday, Woods pinned a photo to the top of his X page of Kirk surrounded by a group of young black supporters in front of a Turning Point USA banner, with the caption “This is my America. Remember Charlie Kirk.”
