The ABC decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel and his late night TV show indefinitely has inspired a mixture of satire, criticism and solidarity from fellow broadchers John Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Follen.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Earlier this week, when the show’s host highlighted the indifferent response of US President Donald Trump, when asked by a reporter that the conservative activist was “caught” in view of the death of Charlie Kirk.
The decision to suspend Kimmel came amid the pressure of the FCC and ABC’s original company, Disney. The suspension has ignited a late night host-Zon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Follen, Seth Mayors, and others, who are speaking about what they see as a dangerous threat to free speech in media.
What did Colbert, Stewart and Follen say?
Colbert called the suspension as “Blattent Censorship” instead of defending Kimmel for the yield of external pressure. He particularly to zero in the role of Brendon car president of FCC, which prepared the suspension as a symptom of growing media suppression. Colbert emphasized the danger of defining “Autocrat”, which is counted as an acceptable speech.
On “The Daily Show”, Stewart adopted a satirical view. He referred to the new version of his show as “approved by the government” and a “patriotic obedient host,” converted the idea of censorship into a real parody.
When the “The Tonite Show” returned, Follen expressed personally support for Kimmel.
“He is a decent, funny and loving boy,” Follen said about Kimmel, and hoped that Kimmel’s show would start again.
Follen used sarcasm to express his message, when the clear voice-over repeated, intimate him, which made him intimate, increased praise for Donald Trump.
Kimmel has not yet responded to her suspension.
Trump’s disdain for the hosts late at night
In July, CBS stated that it would cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in next May. The network said it had closed the decades -old TV institute for financial reasons. But three days after the announcement, Colbert criticized the compromise between President Donald Trump and Paramount Global, CBS’s original company, “60 minutes”.
Trump expressed happiness over the verdict and said he heard that Kimmel would be “next”.
