Jimmy revealed that execs at ABC asked him to ease back on his jokes about Donald during an appearance on the Naked Lunch podcast.

“I said listen, I get it, you’re right. I have lost half of my fanbase, maybe more. Ten years ago, among Republicans I was the most popular talk show. At least according to the research they did,” he said of the conversation.

However, he did not intend to be silenced. “I said, ‘If that’s what you want to do I don’t begrudge you for it, but I’m not going to do that. If you want someone else to host the show, that’s fine with me. I’m just not going to do it like that,’” Jimmy revealed.

“I was serious. I couldn’t live with myself,” he added.
