Jimmy Kimmel set his sights on President Trummp and the FCC amid demands that they made about his show returning after a brief break.
The 57 year old late night host was back on the television screens on Tuesday delivering a lengthy monologue that addressed the support he got from his viewers and critics alike in the wake of his show’s suspension in the past week.
Kimmel’s lengthy show was indefinitely suspended at the time by Disney’s ABC due to remarks he made on September 15 about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, his suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson, and Trump’s Make America Great Again supporters.
In the aftermather, the FCC chairman appeared to make some threatening remarks while on Benny Johnson’s podcast. ‘Frankly, when you see things like this, I mean, we can do this the easy way or the hard way’- he added after deeming Kimmel’s remarks as some of the sickest conduct possible.
He added how these companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC in the future.
Carr mentioned how the FCC would consider remedies if Kimmel didn’t face consequences. The news comes after his show’s ratings skyrocketed to a massive 6.7 million yesterday.
