Stephen Colbert has fiercely criticised ABC for suspending Jimmy Kimmel Live! after Kimmel made controversial remarks about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death.
Colbert called the move “blatant censorship,” urging solidarity by saying, “Tonight, we are all Jimmy Kimmel.”
Kimmel’s suspension followed backlash from affiliates and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr after he commented on Donald Trump's reaction to Kirk's death.
Colbert himself has been told his show will be cancelled next year due to financial decisions, however many have pointed out the cancellation came days after he spoke out against President Donald Trump.
