In the episode of this week “The Daily Show”, Jon Stewart celebrated the return of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” After ABC withdrawn the late evening program from its calendar.
After having made a blow in Donald Trump’s new statement that the use of Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism in children, Stewart announced delighted applause: “Young Jimmy Kimmel returns to television!
The expert at the end of the evening facedly congratulated his audience for launching a successful, although fraudulent campaign to help Kimmel.
“The campaign you have all launched, claiming that you were going to cancel Hulu while secretly browsing four seasons of` `murders in the building ” really worked,” he said. “Congratulations!”
Stewart then discussed the reason why Kimmel was removed from the air. He joked by saying that, to his knowledge, it “had nothing to do with the Trump administration and their explicit FCC threat that they could remove the show in the simplest or the way to the hard way”.
The show then cut a clip of a Fox News correspondent echoing the same opinion. She said, “My God had nothing to do with the fact that Donald Trump accepts nothing with anything Jimmy Kimmel said or not.”
“I mean, Gee Willickers,” said Stewart. “All my days. I mean, I don’t know why people would think that. We randomly remove a show per week! ”
By reducing Fox News, the correspondent added: “If Donald Trump wanted to withdraw everyone who had criticism for him, there would be essentially only one handful of individuals on television.”
“It’s funny, but it can also be a cause of self-reflection?” Stewart asked. “‘Hey, if everyone on television criticizes me, except, like four people, and one of them is my daughter-in-law, am I the drama?'”
Disney and ABC revealed on Monday that they restore Kimmel after preventing his program on September 17. During the announcement, Disney said in a statement: “Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production in the series to avoid more inflammation of a tender situation at a emotional moment for our country. This is a decision that we made because we felt comments with conversations and thus insensitive. These conversations, we made the decision to return the show on Tuesday. »»
