""Someone's gotta step up and be fucking saying, 'Hey, enough. We're not gonna bow,'""
""Now it might sound stupid, but the thing I did this morning, I'm canceling my Disney+. I'm trying to say with the pocketbook that I do not support what they're doing with Jimmy.""
""I just know when the government begins to interfere, when the government says, I'm not pleased with you, so we're gonna orchestrate a way to silence you," Stern continued. "It's the wrong direction for our country. And I should know, I've been involved in something like this, and now ABC is put in the same position, and it's unfortunate that ABC even has to be in this position. They shouldn't have to be in this position. I feel for them too, in this.""
Howard Stern canceled his Disney+ subscription as a pocketbook protest against ABC pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live! He linked Kimmel's suspension to government overreach and cited his own history with the FCC, including $2.5 million in fines levied against stations that carried his show from 1990 to 2004. Stern warned that government interference can lead to orchestrated silencing and said ABC should not have to face such pressure. Several prominent late-night hosts and musicians publicly expressed support for Kimmel and framed their actions as solidarity for free speech.
