“It’s really sort of past time that a lot of these licensed broadcasters themselves push back on Comcast and Disney to say, ‘Listen, we are going to preempt, we aren’t going to run Kimmel anymore until you straighten this out. Because we licensed broadcasters are running the possibility of fines or license revocations from the FCC if we continue to run content with a pattern of news distortion,” Carr said.

Trump has criticized several talkshow hosts for comments made over the years. The President of the United States, alongside his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, is currently in the UK on a state visit.

Late Wednesday, UK time, he commented on the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show. He has previously called Kimmel “untalented.”

Through his Truth Social account, Trump wrote, “Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth [Myers], two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!” Trump wrote.
