Jimmy Kimmel criticized the “American hostility” threats to freedom of expression during an emotional return to US TV late at night-following a brief comment after his comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kerk.
Through tears, the comedian said during a show on Tuesday that “I was never none to shed light on the killing of a young man.”
Kimmel accused the head of the organization that organizes American television of “mob tactics”, and mocked President Donald Trump’s appearance at the United Nations – Including the elevator.
But Tuesday’s episode was not available to viewers in all markets, due to the opposition of some local stations related to the Kimmel ABC network.
It was reported that these broadcasters, managed by Nexstar and Sinclair, represent about one in five of the local stations in ABC in the United States.
However, Kimmel’s broadcast was available in the Hulu + Live TV broadcasting service, owned by Disney from ABC.
Trump, who welcomed the comment of the comedian, was criticizing the rehabilitation, and wrote: “I cannot believe the fake ABC news gave Jimmy Kimmel his job.”
Jimmy Kimmel Live! She was pulled after her host’s remarks about the shooting of Kirk caused an uproar earlier this month.
At Monologa at the time, the comedian said that Trump and his allies “are strongly trying to describe this child who killed Charlie Kerk as anything other than one of them” and trying to “score political points from him.”
Trump’s response to Kirk’s death also likened to “how four -year -old grieves over a golden fish.”
Kerk was shot and killed while speaking at a university event in Utah on September 10. Tyler Robinson, 22, was accused of death.
Speaking on Tuesday’s program, Kimmel insisted that he did not want to blame any specific group to kill Kirk. “But I understand this for some who felt either timing or unclear, or perhaps both,” he said. “For those who think I pointed to a finger, I understood why you are upset.”
Kimmel Erika Kirk praised the alleged murderer of her husband’s murderer during a souvenir held on the weekend. “It was a work of non -selfish grace … he did not touch me deeply,” he said.
Al-Hazali criticized Trump for his call for his hosts late at night-and they are all frequent critics of the president because they wander around the largest news stories of this day.
“Our leader celebrates the people who lose their livelihoods because he cannot joke,” Kimmel said, adding that Trump is openly rooted to people to lose their jobs that were “non -American” and “dangerous”.
Kimmel was also criticizing Brendan Car, head of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC), which organizes American television. Car was one of the first to claim to hang Kimmel.
Kimmel claimed that Car was one day defending freedom of expression, but he turned after Kimmel’s controversial broadcast.
Hollywood legend and Trump’s legend Robert De Niro, who appeared in a comic play depicting Car. Kimmel said that the FBC was “using mob tactics to suppress freedom of expression.” De niro is a slave: “Speech, it is no longer free.”
Celebrity supporters, including actor Ben Steller, who praised the “wonderful monologue”. But he did not clap globally.
About an hour before Showtime, Trump wrote on his social media platform that it could not be believed that ABC had restored the comedian, saying that the White House had been canceled.
“Something happened between that time and now because his fans have left, and his” talent “was never there,” Trump wrote.
Trump also threatened to “ABC test in this”, without giving further details.
Before broadcasting, dozens of local TV stations in the United States, which are run by the companies affiliated with Nexstar and Singlair, said they would continue to replace Kimmel’s offer with alternative programming.
The two companies control more than 20 % of ABC TV stations, according to the New York Times.
NexStar said the situation will continue, “pending confirmation that all parties are committed to strengthening an environment of respectable constructive dialogue in the markets that we serve.”
The media company is currently trying to close a deal worth $ 6.2 billion (4.86 billion pounds) to obtain its rival Tegna, which needs FCC.
The Federal Communications Committee (FCC) is organizing radio radio for radio, television and satellites, which gives it energy on a set of matters, including incorporations and decency complaints.
Car praised himself on Tuesday. “We need to continue to enable local TV stations to serve licensing communities,” said Car, one of the aids Trump, who threatened last week against Disney and ABC.
Carr said earlier that the broadcasting of Cemille was “seemed to directly mislead the American public” with his comments about the Kirk killer.
His remarks, along with fears of local broadcasters who manage ABC companies, pushed the network to “suspend” indefinitely.
The suspension of the exhibition prompted a strong violent reaction from legislators, trade unions and supporters of freedom of expression. Disney Celebrities and provinces were targeted by ABC’s parent company.
Kimmel was supported by his TV colleagues late at night, including the CBS Stephen Kulbert host – whose show will end in May – John Stewart and Seth Maires.
He also received support from US Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who accused Car of behaving like “Monopooso” – comments that inspired Kimmel’s Skit with De niro.
“Certainly I do not think the government should participate in dictating what the comedian can say in Mon”. “
Disney ultimately said that she would re -show after “studied talks with Jimmy.”
