John Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment dissected Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from Disney following remarks about the Charlie Kirk shooting. Oliver argued Kimmel's comments weren't about Kirk's death, but rather criticized the right's attempt to weaponize it. He accused FCC chair Brendan Carr of pressuring networks to censor Kimmel, highlighting Nexstar's and Sinclair's actions as potentially motivated by regulatory approvals. Oliver condemned the censorship and urged Disney to reinstate Kimmel, emphasizing the importance of free speech.
