00:00America's late-night talk show hosts have reacted with solidarity and humor to the suspension
00:06of comedian and presenter Jimmy Kimmel's show.
00:09U.S. TV network ABC News pulled Kimmel's sketch after the host made comments on the conservative
00:15influencer Charlie Kirk's murder.
00:18Famous faces such as Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers weighed in.
00:23I still have a show though, right? Okay, good. Yesterday, after threats from Trump's FCC chair,
00:32ABC yanked Kimmel off the air indefinitely. That is blatant censorship.
00:38That's not me. That's Jimmy Kimmel.
00:43But to be honest with you all, I don't know what's going on. And no one does. But I do know
00:49Jimmy Kimmel and he's a decent, funny and loving guy and I hope he comes back.
00:53I've always admired and respected Mr. Trump.
00:58I've always believed he was, no, no, no, a visionary, an innovator, a great president,
01:04an even better golfer. And if you've ever seen me say anything negative about him, that's just AI.
01:11Kimmel in his show accused MAGA of working hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.
01:17The announcement comes after CBS said it would pull The Late Show with Stephen Colbert next May,
01:23after Colbert criticized the $16 million settlement between Trump and Paramount Global.
01:28The announcement has sparked protests from critics,
01:31who say that the cancellation of the shows amounts to an assault on free speech.
