Chinese protest ABC, Disney and Jimmy Kimmel

November 9, 2013

Protests from San Francisco to New York City erupted over late night show host Jimmy Kimmel on October 28 after airing a segment with Kimmel asking children their thoughts on world issues. In the segment, Kimmel asks how they would handle the $1 trillion-plus bill the U.S. owes China, a child made a comment about how the U.S. should 'kill everyone in China."

The White House condemned the sketch in an statement online November 7, after a petition against Kimmel received more than 100,000 signatures.
