Family member of Jimmy Kimmel suggests more revelations are to come
- Jimmy Kimmel Live! was indefinitely removed from ABC schedules following remarks by the host following Charlie Kirk’s death
- Kimmel's cousin, Sal Iacono, hinted at further revelations concerning the late-night host's removal but expressed confidence in Kimmel's future.
- John Oliver used his Last Week Tonight programme to criticise Disney CEO Bob Iger and broadcasters for succumbing to pressure regarding Kimmel's situation.
- Oliver argued that the government, through FCC chair Brendan Carr, appointed by Donald Trump, pressured media companies to censor speech, citing Carr's celebration of Kimmel's axing.
- Oliver warned against appeasing such demands, noting that Donald Trump had also targeted other late-night shows and urged media outlets to resist censorship attempts.
