The hosts of the night comedy reacted with the mockery of the Trump administration one day after the Jimmy Kimmel program was thrown out of the air after his comments on the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Jon Stewart returned to “The Daily Show” with a program “approved by the Government” and referred to President Donald Trump as “our great father” and “Dear leader.” He joked about Trump’s recent visit to the United Kingdom and touched on a clip of a journalist about Kimmel and if freedom of expression was under attack in the United States.
“How do you dare, Lord! How dare you, Lord!” Stewart Bramó. “What outfit are you, sir, the antifa-herald trustee?”
When the audience booed or expressed consternation, Stewart in a panic tried to enclose them. A group of correspondents delivered a message in unison and bathed the president with exaggerated praise as if they lived in a dictatorship.
Disney said Wednesday that he was suspending “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” After Kimmel commented on the accused person in the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The president of the Federal Communications Commission Brendan Carr, threatened to take measures.
“We hit some new minimums during the weekend, with the Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this child who murdered Charlie Kirk as more than one of them and doing everything possible to get political points of him,” Kimmel said during his monologue on Monday night.
Kirk received a deadly shot at a Utah University on September 10 by an armed man who shot from a roof, authorities said.
Stephen Colbert, whose “Late Night” program CBS is completely ending in a movement that critics alleged that it was motivated by concerns about the Trump administration, said he meets Kimmel and his staff.
“That is a shameless censorship, and always begins,” said Colbert, and referred to the effort of the administration to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. “And if ABC thinks this will satisfy the regime, they are unfortunately naive.”
Jimmy Fallon of NBC made a couple of jokes in the episode of Thursday of “The Tonight Show” and then became serious for a moment.
“To be honest with all of you, I don’t know what is happening. And nobody does,” he said. “But I know Jimmy Kimmel, and is a decent, fun and loving guy, and I hope he returns.”
Fallon, who later promised the program would not be censored, proceeded to describe the visit of the United Kingdom of Trump, but with another voice calling only positive messages. NBC is a nbcuniversal division, which is also the nbc news company News.
Kirk’s murder caused a furious response and a signaling of the fingers, and some to the right blamed the left and asked for remuneration. The suspect’s mother told the authorities that “he began to lean to the left,” according to a probable cause statement. A text message sought to be from the suspect published by the authorities says that “I had enough hatred”, referring to Kirk.
The chain of events on Wednesday that ended with the withdrawal of the program seemed to start when Carr went to the right -wing podcaster Benny Johnson and asked Kimmel to be suspended. He threatened that there could be punishment for companies if “they find ways to take measures on Kimmel.”
Carr has cited an “public interest” obligation for transmission licenses holders.
Hours later, Nexstar Media Group announced that its ABC affiliates would avoid the Kimmel program. Disney, owner of ABC, announced that he was drawing the air program indefinitely.
Nexstar is waiting for the approval of the FCC for a Tegna acquisition of $ 6.2 billion.
Trump suggested on Thursday that measures could be taken against other networks.
“If they have 97% against, they only give me bad advertising or press, I mean, they are receiving a license. I think their license should be removed,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “It will be for Brendan Carr.”
The FCC Individual Transmission Stations License but not television or radio networks, such as ABC.
There was a rapid reaction to the suspension of the Kimmel program, including former President Barack Obama and the legendary presenter of a night interview program David Letterman, as well as others who criticized the decision as an attack on freedom of expression.
In ABC, where the Kimmel program normally appears, an episode of “Family Feud” was broadcast instead.
