Sheena McGinley: Removal of Jimmy Kimmel's show will have chilling effect on other broadcasters
"'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' was cancelled in July with speculation it was due to Colbert's criticism of Trump and Kimmel has now fallen afoul of the administration and the FCC"
""What about Stephen and Jimmy?" This was the declaration of my child last November when she realised Donald Trump had won the White House (again)."
"It wasn't the potential impact of his stance on climate change, or the global order, but on our late-night viewing habits that upset her most."
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was cancelled in July amid speculation that Colbert's criticism of Donald Trump prompted the decision. Jimmy Kimmel has fallen afoul of the Trump administration and the FCC. A child reacted to Trump's election by asking, "What about Stephen and Jimmy?" The child's primary concern was the continuity of late-night viewing rather than policy issues such as climate change or the global order. The child's reaction highlights the cultural significance of late-night television to everyday audiences. The Irish Independent offers a WhatsApp channel for staying up to date with the latest news.
