Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel found himself defending Americans’ right to free speech on Monday, after a joke he made several days ago prompted calls from the White House for ABC to fire him — again.
“You know sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We’ve all been there, right?” Kimmel asked at the beginning of his monologue on Monday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“What a day.”
The pressure — which is also coming from President Donald Trump and a host of his allies — has created a headache for new Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro, who succeeded Bob Iger just six weeks ago.
