Jon Stewart to welcome a special edition of `The Daily Show ‘one day after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel

The star guest of Stewart will be Maria Ressa, the journalist and author of “How to Up to a Dictator”. Résa also shared the Nobel Peace Prize for Peace 2021 for its fight for freedom of expression in its country of origin of the Philippines.

Stewart does not normally organize on Monday. The Emmy winner directed “The Daily Show” from 1999 to 2015, offering net and satirical power of current politics and events and interviews with editors. He returned to accommodate once a week during the prospect of the 2024 American presidential election.

Kimmel made several comments on the reaction to Kirk’s murder on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday and Tuesday evening, including “many in Maga Land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk”.

ABC suspended Kimmel’s program after a group of stations affiliated to the ABC said that it would not broadcast the show, and the president of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, said that his agency had a solid argument to hold Kimmel, ABC and the parent of the Walt Disney Co. network responsible for the disinformation disinformation.

Kimmel did not comment on the suspension. His supporters say that Carr has badly read what the comic said and that nowhere has specifically suggested Tyler Robinson – the authorities of the Utah man mortally alleys Kirk – was a conservative.

In July, CBS said it would cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” next May. The network said it had closed the television institution for several decades for financial reasons. But the announcement occurred three days after Colbert criticized the settlement between President Donald Trump and Paramount Global, a parent company of CBS, on a story “60 minutes”.

David Letterman, Colbert’s predecessor on “The Late Show”, deplored the cancellations.

“I feel bad about it, because we all see where to see, isn’t it? They are managed media,” Letterman said during an appearance Thursday at Atlantic Festival 2025 in New York. “It’s not good. It’s silly. It’s ridiculous.”

He added that people should not be dismissed simply because they do not “do” that Letterman called “an authoritarian president”.
