In a shocking move, ABC has announced that it is indefinitely pulling the long-running late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The decision has sent waves across Hollywood, and one of the first big voices to react was none other than Stephen Colbert.
The Late Show host did not hold back. Speaking about the controversy, Colbert said,
“This is blatant censorship. Audiences deserve to hear every voice — even if it makes people uncomfortable.”
Colbert’s fiery response quickly went viral, with fans praising him for speaking out. Social media is buzzing with hashtags like #Censorship, #JimmyKimmel, and #StephenColbert, as many call ABC’s decision “unfair” and “dangerous for free speech.”
Jimmy Kimmel himself has not released an official statement yet, but insiders say he is “deeply disappointed” and “heartbroken” over the sudden suspension of his show.
For nearly two decades, Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been a staple of American late-night television, mixing comedy, celebrity interviews, and sharp political commentary. With ABC’s latest move, fans are left wondering: Is this the end of an era, or just a temporary break?
One thing is clear: Colbert’s words have lit a fire under this controversy, and the debate over censorship in entertainment is far from over.
