Removed from Position: Jimmy Kimmel, Former US Speaker
In a surprising turn of events, Jimmy Kimmel, the popular late-night talk show host, has been dismissed from his position. The current US President, Donald Trump, who began his second term in 2025, is reported to be the one who demanded Jimmy Kimmel's removal.
The dismissal came after Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Tyler Robinson, the alleged murderer of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. Trump, a Republican, has been vocal about his disapproval of comedians, viewing them as less serious than publishing strongholds like the New York Times.
This incident marks a significant cultural shift, highlighting the role of comedians in the public discourse of the USA. Jimmy Kimmel, along with Stephen Colbert, has been instrumental in bringing satire into prime-time television, offering a counterweight to supposedly serious media.
The tradition of using satire and comedy in media dates back to the War on Terror under Republican George W. Bush, where such shows served as a balancing force. Hollywood and music stars, often upholding a liberal consensus, have been regular guests on these shows, helping maintain a shared sense of inner resistance among many Americans.
Since its founding in 1979, our independent, left-wing, and opinionated daily newspaper has argued and presented partly contradictory positions within a broad left-wing spectrum. The increasing radicalization of private news channels has led to a surge in viewership for satirical formats. Despite declining viewing figures, these hosts remain influential due to social media clips.
It's important to note that Trump, known for his crude humor, has been getting very serious now. As an instinct politician, he recognizes the importance of late-night talk show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel. Trump's audience includes both liberal population segments and humorless supporters.
Late-night shows, which typically feature celebrities discussing their projects, have a host who starts the show with a biting monologue. Comedians like Jimmy Kimmel create a shared cultural background through their comedy, similar to headlines. Jimmy Kimmel's work, from 1999 when he began on the specialty channel Comedy Central, has been a significant part of this cultural background.
As we navigate this change, it's crucial to remember the power of satire and comedy in shaping public opinion and fostering a shared cultural understanding. The dismissal of Jimmy Kimmel serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between freedom of speech and the political climate of the nation.
