"Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community."

Johnny Knoxville of Jackass fame was a pretty good baseball player before he landed in Hollywood. ⚾️

They reportedly named him to the all-senior all-star team as a pitcher in 1989, while he played for South Young High School (now South-Doyle) in Tennessee. (Of course, he was known by his real name, P.J. Clapp, back then.)

In 2022, when he was just 12-years-old, Johnny Knoxville’s son Rocko Clapp appeared with him on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Rocko was there to see if he could strike out the show’s host and his dad. 👍

During the interview, Knoxville told Kimmel, “It was either go to college and play, or come out to LA and try something. I pitched and played first base. I loved it. … I knew I couldn’t be a professional. I could have played college, but that’s about where I would have petered out.”

He now hopes that his son Rocko, a sophomore for Oakwood in California, can do what he didn’t: play college baseball, preferably for the University of Tennessee. 🏫

🗣️ - “I’m trying to sing him the praises on the Tennessee Vols,” Johnny Knoxville told Knox News earlier this year. “What a wonderful program.”

So far in his high school baseball career, Rocko Clapp, now 16, has a career ERA of just 0.69. In his sophomore year, according to MaxPreps, Clapp compiled a 0.80 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 26.1 innings pitched. 🔥

His team is 19-1, with the one loss coming in extra innings, and is headed for the postseason.

Earlier this month, Clapp played in the Halo Classic at Angel Stadium. He needed just 10 pitches to record a 1-2-3 fifth inning.

🗣️ - “I’m very proud of him and the season he is having,” Knoxville said. “Most of all, how he conducts himself on and off the field.”

Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk blasts Jimmy Kimmel for his joke about Melania Trump and warns of a “serious epidemic of dehumanization” after the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner attack. "We are all human beings, and if you can just pause and just take a minute and ask yourself, ‘How would you feel if, even just one person, made cruel jokes about the attempted murder of your loved one?’ That is what Jimmy Kimmel did to the first lady," she said. Kimmel has said he was not making an assassination joke.

President Trump is once again demanding ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel after outrage over a joke targeting Melania Trump. 

The backlash follows Kimmel’s on-air quip, “Look at Melania, so beautiful… you have a glow like an expectant widow,” which she condemned as offensive while calling for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to be canceled.

Traders predict only an 11% chance Kimmel will get fired or resign by May 31.

Kimmel is in the Trump family crosshairs once again.

Melania Trump is calling on ABC to take action against Jimmy Kimmel, accusing him of spreading “hateful and violent rhetoric” after a controversial monologue.

The backlash stems from a joke Kimmel made last week during a parody segment tied to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where he called her an ‘expectant widow’.

The joke preceded the Dinner where an armed gunman was apprehended.

In a statement, Melania said his comments were “intended to divide the country” and questioned why the network continues to support him.

ABC and Kimmel have not publicly responded so far, but the internet has been quick to jump on the story.

Last Thursday, Kimmel did a parody WHCD monologue. He told Melania she had 'the glow of an expectant widow.' Melania called Kimmel's rhetoric 'corrosive' and accused him of hiding behind ABC.  President Trump joined in: 'Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC. This isn't the first time. ABC suspended Kimmel in September 2025 over comments about Charlie Kirk's death. He returned a week later with an apology. Traders predict a 45% chance Jimmy Kimmel Live! is cancelled this year.
