Threatening YouHoward Stern has never been shy about expressing his opinion, and on Monday morning (Sept. 22) the SiriusXM superstar broke his silence on what he called a troubling situation that is near and dear to his heart for several reasons: the suspension of his friend Jimmy Kimmel from ABC.
Stern opened Mondays show by breaking his recent vow to not talk about politics after vehemently speaking his mind during the most recent presidential election, saying, I can no longer keep my mouth shut.
I feel obligated to say something, because sts getting outta control, said Stern, who has famously been a free speech advocate for more than half a century amid his own battles with censorship and government entities threatening to curtail his right to speak freely on the airwaves. This involves the network ABC. They did something really dumb and f-kin horrible, Stern added, before going into a classic fake-out bit complaining about the changes to the networks dating show The Bachelor.
Everyone knows what happened with Jimmy Kimmel. The bottom line is you really dont need my voice to know that something horrible happened at ABC, Stern said about the networks decision to temporarily suspend Kimmels show from the air amid backlash over the late night hosts comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week.
