US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel will say 2025 has been "a really great year for fascism", when he delivers this year's Alternative Christmas Message on Channel 4.
The presenter's ABC talk show was briefly taken off air in September after comments he made about the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
The host's suspension led to a debate in the US about freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Kimmel was reinstated a week after his removal.
The full quote from his address will say: "From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year."
In a statement, Channel 4 said his address "comes at the end of a year when US politics has featured heavily in news and current affairs programming".
