The feud between late-night TV and Major League Baseball just reached a whole new level of chaos.
In a shocking press conference, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts went scorched earth on embattled comedian Jimmy Kimmel, declaring that not only should Kimmel be banned from television — but he is now officially banned from setting foot inside Dodger Stadium.
“He’s done. Not on my field, not on my turf. If he shows up, security will walk him right back out.”
Witnesses say Roberts slammed his hand on the table, his voice rising as reporters gasped. The room reportedly went silent for several seconds before Roberts doubled down, saying the move was about “protecting the integrity of the game” after Kimmel’s recent scandal and outburst on social media.
Social media erupted within minutes of the clip going viral. Some fans are siding with Roberts, tweeting things like:
“Finally, someone’s holding him accountable.”
Others called the move extreme, arguing that Kimmel’s ban from baseball’s most iconic stadium feels like “cancel culture on steroids.”
To make matters even wilder, TMZ cameras spotted Dodgers players joking in the locker room about who would “guard the gates” if Kimmel ever tried to sneak in. One unnamed player said:
“We’ll treat him like a streaker. No exceptions.”
ABC has not commented on Roberts’ fiery statement, and Kimmel has yet to respond publicly — but if his past comebacks are any indication, late-night TV is about to get very interesting.
