THE GUARDIAN: TV host who came under pressure from Trump government will say: ‘From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year’
The US comedian whose late-night show was briefly cancelled after pressure from Donald Trump’s government is to urge UK audiences to stand up for free speech.
In a defiant alternative Christmas message on Channel 4, Jimmy Kimmel will liken the first year of Trump’s second administration to the rise of fascism.
Sitting beside a cup of tea and a plate of jammy dodger biscuits, Kimmel will quip: “From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year.”
He is also expected to warn that press freedoms can be snuffed out quickly, and urge UK viewers to resist attacks on free speech. » | Matthew Weaver | Sunday, December 21, 2025
