Did Jimmy Kimmel call for Roseanne Barr's firing from ABC?

1. Summary of the results

The claim that Jimmy Kimmel called for Roseanne Barr's firing from ABC is not supported by the analyses provided ^[1]. According to these sources, Jimmy Kimmel joked about the firing and suggested an alternative version of the show without Roseanne Barr, while also calling for compassion for her ^[1]. The analyses from various sources, including Snopes ^[1] and Al.com ^[2], do not provide any evidence that Jimmy Kimmel explicitly called for Roseanne Barr's firing from ABC.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some sources, such as Al.com ^[2], provide context about Roseanne Barr's firing in 2018 and her recent reaction to Jimmy Kimmel's show being suspended, but do not directly address Jimmy Kimmel's comments on Roseanne Barr's firing ^[2]. Another source, Yahoo ^[3], discusses Roseanne Barr's response to former President Barack Obama's statement about the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show, but does not mention Jimmy Kimmel calling for her firing ^[3]. Additionally, a YouTube video ^[4] appears to be unrelated to the claim being fact-checked, as it discusses Roseanne Barr's comparison to Jimmy Kimmel, but does not provide relevant information about Jimmy Kimmel's comments on her firing ^[4].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be misleading or biased, as it suggests that Jimmy Kimmel explicitly called for Roseanne Barr's firing, which contradicts the information provided by the analyses ^[1]. This framing may benefit those who want to portray Jimmy Kimmel as having taken a strong stance against Roseanne Barr, but it does not accurately reflect the available information ^[1]. The sources that do not provide evidence of Jimmy Kimmel calling for Roseanne Barr's firing, such as Al.com ^[2] and Yahoo ^[3], may be attempting to provide context or discuss related issues, but do not support the claim made in the original statement ^{[2] [3]}.
