After Kimmel suspension, Trump sets sights on Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers: 'Do It NBC!'
President Donald Trump is doubling down on comedian Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.
Trump, a frequent critic of Kimmel and the entire late-night host lineup, first took to Truth Social late Wednesday, Sept. 18, to deride Kimmel's ratings and throw some shots at Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon.
"Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done," Trump wrote. "Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT"
Then during a Sept. 18 press conference, Trump said that the comedian should have been fired "a long time ago" for a "lack of talent" and pushed back at concerns about the state of free speech in the United States. Kimmel has not been officially fired, though it remains unclear if, and when, his show will return to the air.
