Stephen Colbert, whose namesake late-night show is set to be pulled off the air in May, defended Kimmel<\/a> during his opening monologue on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

He started the show saying, “Tonight, we are all Jimmy Kimmel,” calling the suspension “blatant censorship.”<\/p>\n

“The Late Show” posted a clip of Colbert’s comments on Kimmel on its Instagram account. The post was captioned, “The Late Show stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his staff.”<\/p>\n

In his monologue, Colbert referenced a report from Rolling Stone on Wednesday about Kimmel and ABC.<\/p>\n

“As one source at ABC put it, they were pissing themselves all day. On the bright side, that proves Disney is No. 1 at streaming,” Colbert said.<\/p>\n

Colbert then cited an X post that the FCC’s Carr wrote on Wednesday. Carr said it was important for broadcasters to oppose “programming that they determine falls short of community values.”<\/p>\n

“Well, you know what my community values are, buster? Freedom of speech,” Colbert said on Thursday, to loud cheers from the audience.<\/p>\n

“People across the country are shocked by this blatant assault on the freedom of speech,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stephen Colbert, whose namesake late-night show is set to be pulled off the air in May, defended Kimmel…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":238536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[127770,13140,1403,127029,57415,171,11171,938,96194,13992,51923,25548,83070,76407,277,173,67,132,68,15613],"class_list":{"0":"post-238535","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-abc-affiliate-station","9":"tag-comment","10":"tag-commitment","11":"tag-conservative-activist-charlie-kirk","12":"tag-daily-show","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","15":"tag-network","16":"tag-nexstar","17":"tag-pressure","18":"tag-professionalism","19":"tag-response","20":"tag-sinclair","21":"tag-suspension","22":"tag-trump","23":"tag-tv","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-unitedstates","26":"tag-us","27":"tag-wednesday"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115230159874536147","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238535","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=238535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
