Jimmy Kimmel, despite perceiving himself as justified in “defending himself” against Aaron Rodgers’ truth bombs, faced consequences from NBC. According to NBC Executive Spokesmodel Joe Barron, Kimmel received a two-week suspension without pay and a $500,000 fine.

Kimmel had agreed to this clause in his contract the previous year, a decision influenced by the repercussions faced by others who had angered the right, exemplified by the Bud Light incident. Barron emphasized NBC’s commitment to avoiding becoming like those they disagreed with.
