"I am not intimidated by the FCC. And if President Trump is watching, I have one thing to say to you. Have you lost weight? You look terrific. Wow. Now, that's not me and never will be, and we're gonna get to all of it, but I think here's the thing, life is f**king weird. It was 24 years to the day that I made comments on ABC that got me canceled from that network and Jimmy Kimmel took my slot. Did you know that?"
"At Politically Incorrect? Oh yes, I got canceled before cancel even had a culture. So do headlines. Yeah, this is on my wall from the Variety. White House keeps heat on ABC's Maher. This sh*t ain't new. It's worse, we'll get to that, but you know, ABC, they are steady. ABC stands for Always Be Caving. Uh, so Jimmy Jimmy, pal, I am with you, I support you, and on the bright side, you don't have to pretend anymore that you like Disneyland."
Bill Maher attacked ABC and President Donald Trump for ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel after Kimmel's remarks about Charlie Kirk. Maher denounced FCC threats and accused the network of caving under pressure, mocking the FCC and the president. Maher recalled being canceled from ABC 24 years earlier and noted Kimmel had taken his former time slot. Maher expressed solidarity with Kimmel, mocked presidential vanity, and framed recent show suspensions as part of escalating right-wing intimidation of broadcasters. Panel guests included former Senator Joe Manchin and MSNBC analyst Alex Wagner.
