Jimmy Kimmel is dealing with things after ABC suspended<\/a> his show indefinitely, legendary television personality David Letterman<\/a> shared. Kimmel faced massive backlash over his comments on Tyler Robinson, the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect. His comments were perceived to have lumped Robinson with the MAGA base, while the investigation has unearthed the suspect’s left-leaning ideologies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Letterman, who hosted The Late Show from 1993 to 2015, has now shared that he’s been in contact with the 57-year-old, and revealed how Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> is dealing with the news.<\/p>\n

How Jimmy Kimmel is doing<\/p>\n

Letterman was speaking at the Atlantic Festival in New York City and said he had messaged Jimmy Kimmel to check up on him. Sharing the update, Letterman stated, \u201cHe’s up in bed, taking nourishment. He’s going to be fine,\u201d as per Variety.<\/p>\n

The 78-year-old also bemoaned the conditions following Kimmel’s show being suspended. \u201cThis is misery. I feel bad about this,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cWe see where this is all going, correct? It\u2019s 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 criminal administration in the Oval Office. That\u2019s just not how this works.\u201d<\/p>\n

Letterman further continued, \u201cIn the world of somebody who is an authoritarian, maybe a dictatorship, sooner or later, everyone is going to be touched.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then added, \u201cThe institution of the president of the United States ought to be bigger than a guy doing a talk show.\u201d Kimmel\u2019s removal from late-night TV, he said, \u201cwas predicted by our president right after Stephen Colbert got walked off, so you\u2019re telling me this isn\u2019t premeditated at some level?.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apart from Letterman, several notable figures have also extended their support to Kimmel. Actor Ben Stiller remarked \u2018This isn\u2019t right’, while former President Barack Obama denounced the attack on free speech.<\/p>\n

On X, he said, “After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like”.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump welcomed ABC’s decision to suspend Kimmel’s show, even as Daily Mail reported that the comedian was \u2018livid\u2019 over the decision. Kimmel has not officially commented on the suspension of his show yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Kimmel is dealing with things after ABC suspended his show indefinitely, legendary television personality David Letterman shared.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":238270,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,171,11171,127665,127666,127663,127664,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-238269","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","11":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-david-letterman","12":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-live-abc","13":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-show-canceled","14":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-show-suspended","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115229542788941251","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
