Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back on the Oscars stage, making sure to deliver some sharp political jabs, aiming at President Trump, Melania Trump, and even throwing a free speech-related dig at CBS while presenting the documentary film categories on Sunday in Los Angeles.
“As you know, there are some countries whose leaders don’t support free speech,” Kimmel shared on the ABC broadcast, adding, “I’m not at liberty to say which.” Per The Hill, he then quipped, to a round of applause, “Let’s just leave it at North Korea and CBS.” That CBS jab is a direct reference to Skydance, owned by Trump ally David Ellison, purchasing CBS parent company Paramount last year.
