"As far as the Kimmel stuff, you know, I am a firm believer in freedom of speech, you know? Especially, you now, some of the speech that I believed in, and, yeah, but all of that said, I saw the dismissal as a potential job opening, and if they want to, you know, fix that show and get some ratings, this guy! Sheen said."
"Kimmel's ABC suspension came amid complaints from local affiliates and also followed FCC Chair Brendan Carr pressuring the network in a podcast interview. Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, he said. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."
