Fans Rally Outside Disneyland Over Jimmy Kimmel’s Firing by ABC

Protesters cast ABC’s decision as a free‑speech issue at a location chosen for maximum visibility.

Overview

On Sept. 19, supporters gathered outside Disneyland Resort in Anaheim to object to ABC’s removal of the late‑night host.
The event was described as largely peaceful, with signs including “Today, it’s Kimmel. Tomorrow, it’s the rest of us.”
Participants said their concerns extended to perceived censorship and corporate control affecting creative and media freedom.
Posts and hashtags amplified the demonstration online, though no official crowd size was released beyond attendee reports of a noticeable turnout.
Neither ABC, Disneyland Resort, nor organizers have issued statements on outcomes or next steps, and the resort was not involved in the decision.
