""The American government made a threat against me and the company I work for, and all of a sudden we were off the air. But then, you know what happened? A Christmas miracle happened. Well, it was September, it was a September miracle. But the holiday does seem to come earlier and earlier every year, doesn't it?""
""You may have read in your colorful newspapers my country's President would like to shut me up because I don't adore him in the way he likes to be adored,""
""We won, the President lost and now I'm back on the air every night givin' the most powerful politician on earth a right and richly-deserved bollocking," he added. "That's a word, right, I used it properly?""
Channel 4's 2025 Alternative Christmas Message was delivered by Jimmy Kimmel. He opened with a joke about whether UK viewers knew him. He described the year as tumultuous, calling it "a really great year from a fascism perspective" and saying "tyranny is booming over here." He referenced a brief, politically motivated suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after what he described as a government threat against him and his company. He celebrated returning to the air, declared "we won," said the President lost, and said he would resume criticizing that politician. He expressed cautious optimism that the United States will come around and asked the British audience for patience and attention.
