A lot of people say he's actually quite similar to Bob Iger.

That being said, even Bob Iger, he struggled quite a bit with how to handle Trump, with how to handle these political issues.

So Jimmy Kimmel made a comment on his show a few days before the White House Correspondents Dinner, actually.

It was a joke calling the first lady, Melania Trump, an expectant widow.

And then days later at the White House Correspondents Dinner, the night took a very unexpected turn when a gunman entered the hotel and started shooting people.

It later was determined to be an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

And so in the days after that, basically Trump and his allies, they were calling on ABC specifically and Disney saying, you need to fire this guy.

The SEC under Trump has been very aggressive.

It's been opening investigations against all these media companies.

One of the issues they've brought up is DEI.

But given the timing, no one really seems to believe that.

They think that this is because of Jimmy Kimmel.

Everyone seems to think that legally there's very little grounds to stand on here.

It's quite an unprecedented move.

I mean, to give context, the last time the SEC has actually revoked a broadcast license like this was in the 1960s.

The way the law is structured is that unless there's kind of pretty severe misconduct, the licenses just get renewed.

So legally, it seems like it would be in Disney's favor.

But as we've seen, there have been cases, quite a few, where media companies have just chosen to settle or back down, given that you generally don't want to be in a big public fight with the federal government.

People are very confident in Josh Tomorrow as a leader, as an executive.

A lot of people say he's actually quite similar to Bob Iger in that he seems to really know what he's doing.
