Former US President Barack Obama has slammed his successor, Donald Trump, after Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show was removed.
The 44th US President did not hold back when it came to criticising President Trump and his entire administration for suspending the Late Night Show after the network succumbed to pressure from the FCC over remarks that the host made regarding Charlie Kirk’s murder.

After that, Obama mentioned more details about his closeness to Kimmel. He then appeared on the liberal host’s show, and the two men are known to be huge fans of each other.
Kimmel came under fire in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination when he claimed that a MAGA supporter was responsible for the killing. Prosecutors believed suspect Tyler Robinson is actually a left winger.
Kimmel was seen mentioning: ‘We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it!’
