The indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong>\u2018s show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, has sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry. Many of Kimmel\u2019s contemporaries, like Jimmy Fallon<\/strong>, Seth Meyers<\/strong>, Stephen Colbert<\/strong>, David Letterman, and Jon Stewart, have reacted to the development. Kimmel\u2019s suspension came after his controversial comments about Charlie Kirk\u2019s shooting and his criticism of the Trump administration\u2019s reaction.<\/p>\n Many prominent late-night talk show hosts came forward to share their thoughts after Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled by ABC indefinitely following his comments on Charlie Kirk\u2019s shooting.<\/p>\n Jimmy Fallon was one of the first to react when he talked about Kimmel\u2019s suspension on his show<\/a>. \u201cThis morning I woke up to 100 text messages from my dad saying, \u2018I\u2019m sorry they cancelled your show.\u2019 I go, \u2018That\u2019s not me, that\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel,’\u201d Fallon joked. He also acknowledged the growing concerns about censorship and expressed his hopes that Kimmel will return soon.<\/p>\n Stephen Colbert, whose show was also canceled by CBS in a political firestorm, stood up for his friend, Jimmy Kimmel. On CBS\u2019s The Late Show, Colbert reacted to FCC Chair Brendan Carr\u2019s comments urging broadcasters to push back against Disney programming that falls short of community values, saying, \u201cYou know what my community values are, Buster? Freedom of speech. Or, as Alexander Hamilton called it, \u2018Hakuna Matata.\u2019\u201d (via Deadline<\/a>)<\/p>\n Seth Meyers<\/a> was more direct about his stance on the incident while still maintaining his humorous approach. \u201cHis administration is pursuing a crackdown on free speech \u2014 and completely unrelated, I just want to say, before we get started here, that I\u2019ve always admired and respected Mr. Trump,\u201d Meyers said on the September 18 episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers.<\/p>\n He further added, \u201cIt is a privilege and an honor to call Jimmy Kimmel my friend in the same way that it\u2019s a privilege and honor to do this show every night.\u201d He concluded, \u201cWe must all stand up for the principles of free expression. There\u2019s a reason free speech is in the very first amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n David Letterman also spoke out<\/a> while appearing at The Atlantic Festival on September 18. He said, \u201cWe all see where this is going, correct? This is managed media, and it\u2019s no good, it\u2019s silly, it\u2019s ridiculous, and you can\u2019t go around firing somebody because you\u2019re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian and criminal administration in the Oval Office. That\u2019s just not how this works.\u201d<\/p>\n Jon Stewart also commented on the issue with a satirical \u201cgovernment-approved\u201d program on The Daily Show, mocking Kimmel\u2019s cancellation.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Sourav Chakraborty on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Jimmy Fallon & Other Late Night Hosts React to Jimmy Kimmel Live!
