CBS\u2019 lame-duck host Stephen Colbert dramatically declared, \u201cwe are all Jimmy Kimmel\u201d during his cringeworthy \u201cLate Show\u201d monologue.<\/p>\n
\u201cYesterday after threats from Trump\u2019s FCC chair, ABC yanked Kimmel off the air indefinitely. That is blatant censorship,\u201d Colbert, 61, told the audience.<\/p>\n
