America’s late-night TV hosts have rallied behind fellow comedian Jimmy Kimmel after he was suspended by ABC in a row over comments he made about the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Stephen Colbert began his show by saying “we are all Jimmy Kimmel”, and said the star’s removal was a “blatant assault on freedom of speech”.
Seth Meyers declared it was “a privilege and honour to call Jimmy Kimmel my friend”, while Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon tackled the free speech issue by doing satirical sketches in which they were apparently forced to praise Donald Trump.
Their broadcasts came shortly after the US president said the main networks were overwhelmingly negative about him and could have their licences “taken away”.
I bet all the liberal hosts will step down in solidarity to protest this blatant attempt at destroying first amendment protected speech. Then the GOP can appoint new comedian hosts to take their place. Get ready for Tom Segura’s Late Show and Kill Tony’s Primetime Slop Hour.
I don’t listen to Seguras podcasts but is he really considered conservative? He seems to be pro environmental activism, for more gun control, and shits on the way we have treated immigrants last I knew.
He’s largely not, the poster is full of shit
This such ridiculously misinformed comment, I don’t even know where to start
