Longtime late night host Conan O’Brien weighed in Friday on his colleague Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension at ABC, warning of a broader threat to free speech. 

“The suspension of @jimmykimmel and the promise to silence other Late Night hosts for criticizing the administration should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center,” O’Brien, who hosted late night shows on NBC and TBS, wrote in a post on X.

“It’s wrong and anyone with a conscience knows it’s wrong,” he added. 

Kimmel was suspended from ABC after Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr threatened to go after its affiliates if they didn't move to punish the comedian over comments he made about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Kimmel joked that the president, who was close to Kirk, was experiencing the death “like a 4-year-old mourning a goldfish.”

After Kimmel was removed from the air, Trump celebrated the change while suggesting Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, NBC's late night hosts, should face similar consequences.

In July, CBS announced it was canceling its late night show entirely when Stephen Colbert's contract is up in May. The decision came after the comedian made snide remarks about the Trump administration’s settlements with media companies. 

Top Democrats and former President Obama have all said the decision to remove Kimmel from the airwaves was unfair and unwarranted.

“After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” Obama wrote in a statement on social platform X.

Colbert mocked Kimmel's suspension with a parody video of Disney character Lumière wearing a MAGA hat and commanding employees to keep quiet — or get their shows pulled.

“Listen up,” Lumière says in the video, which aired on Thursday’s “The Late Show.” “In light of Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, ABC’s parent company Walt Disney Corporation has a little message for all the employees.”

“Shut your trap, shut your trap,” Lumière sings.
