A recent wave of developments has hit the talk show world, and due to confusion, many think that Jimmy Fallon’s show has been canceled. That is not the case, as it was Jimmy Kimmel whose show was suspended indefinitely by Disney-owned ABC.
Here’s why the confusion happened and what Jimmy Fallon actually said about it.
Has Jimmy Fallon been canceled after Jimmy Kimmel Live! suspension?
No, Jimmy Fallon’s show has not been canceled after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! CBS canceled Stephen Colbert’s show earlier this year, which many linked to his comments on the Trump administration. Something similar has happened to Jimmy Kimmel following comments he made about the Trump administration’s reaction to the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
Jimmy Fallon was one of several late-night hosts who spoke about Kimmel’s suspension on his show. However, his stance on the subject was rather soft compared to others like Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert.
Fallon began speaking about Kimmel by joking that his father thought his show was canceled. “This morning I woke up to 100 text messages from my dad saying, ‘I’m sorry they cancelled your show,” Fallon said, “To be honest with you all, I don’t know what’s going on, and no one does. But I do know Jimmy Kimmel, and he’s a decent, funny, and loving guy, and I hope he comes back.”
After this, Fallon touched on government censorship, but his stance remained light. “A lot of people are worried that we won’t keep saying what we want to say, or that we’ll be censored. But I’m going to cover the president’s trip to the UK just like I normally would,” the host added.
Fallon has not said anything that would put him or his show in trouble with the Trump administration. After Kimmel’s suspension, there has been a wave of responses from the celebrity world.
The future of Jimmy Kimmel Live! remains unclear at this point.
