Watch: Jimmy Fallon, Kimmel’s output of the US talc show hosts

America’s late night TV hosts, Charlie Kirk’s murder on the comments made by ABC was suspended in a row after the comedian Jimmy Kimmel gathered behind.

Stephen Colbert started his show by saying, “We all Jimmy Kimmel” and he said that the removal of the star was “an open attack on freedom of speech”.

Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon, made satirical sketches they had to praise Donald Trump and dealt with the problem of free speech.

Publications arrived in a short time After saying US President The main networks were negative about him with an overwhelming majority and his licenses could be “taking”.

Trump has focused on the people he has seen as rivals in the media for years.

Is Kimmel’s suspension free speech attack? Is it a sign of another media company that submits to Trump’s attack? Or a delayed reckoning? Depends on who is on the side.

This final decision sent a coolness through liberal America – and criticizing him encouraged the supporters of the President who has long been afraid of the talc show servers in late night.

Kimmel began on Monday after his monologue said that the “Maga Gang” was trying to characterize this child who killed Charlie Kirk as something other than one of them ve and “trying to gain political points from him”.

He also compared Trump’s reaction to the conservative political activist’s death “how a four -year -old child mourn”.

Brendan Carr, President of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), which organizes Network TV, called these comments “patient”. Carr said the landlord threatened to take action for “direct misleading the American people”.

Conservative critics say Kimmel’s suspicious killer forced a false narrative, claiming that the suspect killer “do America again” republican. Although the exact reason is still unknown, on Sunday – Kimmel before he spoke – the governor of Utah said that the suspect was “overcome by the leftist ideology”.

Seth Meyers has been home to late NBC since 2014

On the night of the NBC, the host Meyers began on Thursday, saying that Trump’s administration was “pursuit of pressure on a free speech”, before adding cynically: “And I want to say that I always admired and respected Mr. Trump before I start here.”

“I always believed that he was a visionary, innovative, great president and a better golfender.”

The host continued to play Trump clips by proclaiming that the government banned censorship and brought back free speech in the United States.

After playing more clips about Kimmel status, Meyers said, “It is a privilege and honor to call Jimmy Kimmel as my friend, and it is a privilege and honor to do this show every night.

“I wake up every day, and at least I count my blessings to live in a country that claims to value freedom of speech.

“And we will continue to do our show as we always do – with enthusiasm and honesty …

When he returned to his purpose, Meyers continued: “This is very important … This is a great moment in this democracy and we should all stand up for freedom of expression.

He continued: “There is a reason for free conversation in the First Amendment. It focuses on others.”

“I’m telling Jimmy, with you and your staff 100%.” He said.

Kimmel’s suspension was “open censorship” and “the last and bravest action in a long campaign against media critics”.

Colbert canceled his own show – It will end in May, so it is freely restrained for months to tell you what you want.

In July, the CBS said that the cancellation of the late show was a “completely financial decision”, but some observers moved to an upcoming federal decision for a merger containing CBS’s parent company Paramount.

The abolition of Kimmel said that Nexstar Media, one of the largest TV station owners in America, would not publish Kimmel’s “predictable future” show because his words were “aggressive and insensitive.” Nexstar is currently waiting for a federal approval for a separate transfer agreement.

He continued: “So, a company that surrendered to the capricies of the President to ensure that a company’s merger passes – has it happened before?” Colbert joke.

“Everything is about corporate relations.”

After the state visit, Trump said to journalists of shows and networks late at night: “All they do is hit Trump … Licensed. They are not allowed to do so.”

Colbert replied: “Yes, they! From the beginning … These shows always spoke about the current president and this is you.”

“Whatever we claim, this was not all about what Jimmy said on Monday, but this was part of a plan.

And that was exactly what happened.

At the NBC’s The Tonight Show, Fallon said to the audience: “I don’t know what’s going on and nobody did it. But I know Jimmy Kimmel, and he’s a good, funny and loving man, and I hope he comes back.”

He continued: “Many people are concerned that we will not continue to say that we want to say or censored. But I will take a trip to England, as the president normally does.

“Here we are starting. Well, President Trump completed his three -day trip to England and he …”

Later, a vocal, “… it looked incredibly handsome.”

‘Excellent Color Trump’

At Comedy Central, Stewart suffered a similar satirical approach and became a “patriotic host of a patriotic host of the” brand new government -approved daily demonstration “of the” new government -approved Daily Show “.

He reluctantly praised the “perfect colored Trump”, known for his “charm, grace and an undeniable sexual charisma”.

Stewart then asked the seven reporters of the show if “opponents and critics” were right. “Donald Trump is a free speech?”

“Of course not Jon,” they replied. “The Americans are free to express the views we want to propose otherwise. Huh.”

In the meantime, the old long -lasting night, the host David Letterman, on Thursday, the Atlantic Festival in New York on Thursday talked about the suspension of Kimmel.

“I feel bad about it, because we all see where it goes, is it true?” he said. “The managed media. Not good. Stupid. It’s ridiculous.”

In Polarized America, the reaction to the suspension of Kimmel depends on your political relations, and the landlords do not agree late at night.

“People come to me and go, ‘If you are a comedian and on TV, you should be sorry about it,’ I am not really.”

The guests’ panel criticized Kimmel’s comments and argued that there were free speech limits on Network TV.

The host also said that people who defend Kimmel have previously tried to silence their right wing exits and commentators. “The only way they stop, if they know that they can happen to it.” He said. “But this is actually a fair thought? I don’t know.”

Elsewhere, former CNN presenter Piers Morgan said that Kimmel was “a kind of free speech martyr?”
