“This is misery,” Letterman, 78, said during a panel at the annual event, per Variety. “I feel bad about this.”

“We see where this is all going, correct?” he continued. “It’s managed media. And it’s no good. It’s silly. It’s ridiculous. And you can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office. That’s just not how this works.”

“In the world of somebody who is an authoritarian, maybe a dictatorship, sooner or later, everyone is going to be touched,” Letterman added.

Huh Santa Claus Dave, it was the ABC affiliates that called for Kimmel to be canned since his show is losing money for them.

Save Dave has no problem using a platform to spread blatant lies about a murder and is aghast an employer would take issue with that? It has been to be “authoritarianism” from government, not the lying, that is an issue?

Would any of us keep our jobs if we used the platforms our employer gave us to spread outrageous lies?

they were not “comments” they were lies, and the Kirk estate should sue Jimmy Kimmel for 500 million for slander

This is looking more and more like something ABC orchestrated. “Fire/Suspend” a loudmouth to appease the right and stoke the left. Then let has-beens scream about it all being some “authoritarian” or “fascist” “witch-hunt.”

I vaguely remember his daytime show. Cow paste. He is the only one who thought he was funny.

He didn’t replace Carson. Jay Leno did.

It was the correct move by NBC even though Letterman was funny when he was younger.
