David Letterman Reacts To Kimmel Pause

Letterman, speaking Thursday at The Atlantic Festival, called the move “misery.” “It’s ridiculous. You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office, that’s just not how this works.”
