Late-night show hosts Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon and former host David Letterman have all rallied behind Jimmy Kimmel following ABC’s decision to indefinitely suspend his popular late-night show after his comments about the Trump administration’s response to the death of rightwing activist Charlie Kirk.
In his opening monologue on Thursday night, Colbert mocked executives at Disney, ABC’s parent company, for caving to threats from Brendan Carr, the FCC chair, when they pulled Kimmel off the air.
