Recently, we felt absolutely shocked to hear that Jimmy Kimmel’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! had been suspended “indefinitely” in response to comments that Kimmel had made about the death of Charlie Kirk and the right’s response to it . After all, it is a late-night comedian’s literal job to critique and criticize the ongoing happenings in our country and political environment. The abrupt removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live! over his words was unprecedented in the worst way. But despite this example, other late-night hosts are using their platforms to continue to defend Jimmy Kimmel and free speech and to criticize the decision made to shut down the show over a host’s remarks. You can watch below Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jon Stewart’s immediate response to the removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
