The world of the end of the night was delighted on Monday evening when the news that Jimmy Kimmel would return to the waves struck just before most of the hosts break their shows, which means that Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers all weighed Disney’s decision to put “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Back in the air.
“Young Jimmy Kimmel returns to television,” Stewart said to a deafening roar of applause from his audience “Daily Show”. “I will tell you, Jimmy Kimmel flying high like Advil today,” he joked, nodding his head at his opening segment on Trump’s insistence that Tylenol could cause autism if he was taken by pregnant women.
Stewart then relied on the boycott that stopped on social networks, while people canceled their Disney + and Hulu subscriptions.
“This campaign that you all launched by claiming that you were going to cancel Hulu while secretly browsing Four Seasons of ‘Only Murders in the Building’, which really worked. Congratulations,” he joked. “Isn’t it interesting to try to understand all the tentacles that Disney has in your daily life? Is it a thing to swear cruises but the Avengers? Nah. How can it get rid of a business, I can’t watch ‘Winnie the Pooh’ or Monday Night Football? Or Listen early Hilary Duff.”
Stewart devoted all his main segment to the reintegration of Kimmel through the objective of the Trump administration’s efforts to stifle freedom of expression, playing Trump’s clips insisting that he is for freedom of expression then contradicting himself directly.
“The late show with Stephen Colbert”, during this time, found the end of the end of the evening canceled celebrating this with Kimmel in the air, he is still the only martyr at the end of the evening.
“This is a wonderful news for my dear friend Jimmy and her staff. I’m so happy for them. In addition, now that Jimmy is not canceled, I can enjoy [my Emmy]”, Joked Colbert.” Once again, I am the only martyr at the end of the evening. Wait, unless, CBS, do you want to announce anything?
And on “Late Night With Seth Meyers”, the frequently political NBC host devoted his segment of “a closer look” with Trump and freedom of expression, celebrating Kimmel’s return at the end of the clip.
“A few minutes before we started to record, we learned that our friend Jimmy Kimmel will be back on the air,” said Meyers, also in Roars. “There has been a massive national reaction to Trump’s repression against freedom of expression, even among the conservatives. I have not yet seen a survey, but I think that if you ask the Americans if the president should dictate what television hosts can and cannot say, you will get around 3% positive and …” At that time, Meyers through Trump’s clip was 97% negative.
Disney decided on Monday afternoon to put Kimmel on Monday after being withdrawn from concerns that his planned monologue would ignite the tensions caused by the comments he made on Charlie Kirk’s shooter.
“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production in the show to avoid igniting a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” Disney said in a statement. “This is a decision that we made because we estimated that some of the comments were badly inculative and therefore insensitive. We spent the last days to have thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after these conversations, we made the decision to return the show on Tuesday. ”
Sinclair Broadcasting Group will not bring Kimmel’s return, but the affiliation owner said he was still in conversations with ABC.
