The late-night landscape is standing united with Jimmy Kimmel.
Kimmel's peers took to their respective shows Thursday night in defense of the comedian, after ABC "indefinitely" suspended his show over his comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk, which drew harsh criticism from the head of the Federal Communications Commission.
Many of the hosts issued warnings for what they fear the move means for the future of free speech and government overreach.
Stephen Colbert, at the start of his "The Late Show" monologue on Sept. 18, decryed the suspension as "blatant censorship."
"With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch," he said. "If ABC thinks this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly, they've never read the children's book 'If You Give a Mouse a Kimmel.' And to Jimmy, just let me say, I stand with you and your staff 100%."
