Jimmy Kimmel is in hot water!
On
Saturday, hundreds of protesters targeted ABC Studios to protest the Oct. 16 segment of "Jimmy Kimmel
Live" where one of the late night host's tiniest guests suggested that
we should "kill everyone in China."
ABC said at the time, "We offer our sincere apology. We would never purposefully broadcast anything to upset the Chinese community, Asian community, anyone of Chinese descent, or any community at large. Our objective is to entertain." Kimmel added, "I just want to say I am sorry. I apologize. It was certainly not my intent to upset anyone."
However, Chinese-American groups and protesters refuse to accept the apology. ABC Studios has not responded to Yahoo TV's request for comment regarding the protests.
According to a Burbank Police Department spokesperson, crowds "swelled up to 1,500 protestors" at the 2300 block of Riverside Drive after some demonstrators went into a restricted area near ABC Studios at 9:30 a.m. By 11 a.m., Burbank police had responded to the scene, but no arrests were made. By 12:30 p.m., the crowds had dispersed.
