Jimmy Kimmel will deliver Channel 4’s Alternative Christmas Message, discussing themes of fascism following a tumultuous year marked by his criticism of Donald Trump. Trump has frequently called for Kimmel’s firing due to his outspoken political views. Kimmel, who experienced professional setbacks, including a suspension from ABC, will reflect on the hardships he faced during the past year in his Christmas address, set to air at 5:45 PM on Christmas Day.
In recent comments, Kimmel expressed gratitude for his audience’s support and highlighted the troubling political climate in the U.S., urging Americans to communicate this reality to friends abroad. The controversy that led to his suspension arose after he made remarks following the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, which were deemed offensive by some, prompting a backlash. However, after significant public support, Kimmel’s show was reinstated.
