Los Angeles was buzzing this week as Ringo Starr — the beloved Beatles drummer and eternal messenger of “peace and love” — weighed in on ABC’s stunning decision to put Jimmy Kimmel Live! on “indefinite” suspension.
Speaking at a cultural forum, Ringo shared that he’d actually heard from Jimmy earlier that day. With a grin, he told the audience:
“He’s resting up, having a bit of tea, and taking nourishment. He’ll be fine.”
The lighthearted remark drew laughs, but Ringo didn’t stop there. His tone shifted as he reflected on the turbulent nature of today’s public discourse — a whirlwind of outrage and controversy. Then, with his trademark wit, he delivered the punchline of the night:
“Ten years ago, I was smart enough to cancel myself — before anyone else could.”
The crowd roared with laughter, reminded once again that Ringo’s wisdom always comes wrapped in humor, warmth, and rhythm.
In a moment where the entertainment world seemed shaken, Ringo Starr did what he’s always done best — lighten the mood, add perspective, and remind us all not to take life too seriously.
