Stephen Colbert condemns censorship and calls out Trump in powerful monologue dedicated to Jimmy Kimmel’s suspended show.

Stephen Colbert’s opening monologue is being hailed as one of the most powerful moments in modern late-night history. Standing on stage at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, Colbert dedicated his show to Jimmy Kimmel and his team after ABC suspended Kimmel’s programme under pressure from Washington.

Colbert called the move “blatant censorship” and directly accused President Trump of acting like an autocrat. “With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch,” he warned, making clear that the stakes reach far beyond late-night comedy.

Movers clear Jimmy Kimmel Live’s studio, sparking speculation about his future amidst debated conditions for reinstatement.

Movers were spotted clearing out the studio of Jimmy Kimmel Live, fuelling speculation about the future of the late-night program. The show was abruptly suspended after comments Kimmel made about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

CNN is reporting that ABC may reinstate Kimmel on air, but only if he “lowers the temperature” of his commentary. That condition has sparked debate about free speech, corporate influence and the fine line between humour and controversy in late-night television.
