The temporary suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” caused near-universal outrage from late-night talk show hosts, but they offered a different take when President Trump was deplatformed in 2021.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel returned to the airwaves<\/a> Tuesday after a brief suspension by Disney that began last week. Kimmel was pulled off the air after remarks about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk sparked outrage, a warning from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and two major ABC affiliate owners yanking his program across the country. Kimmel had falsely suggested the alleged killer was a MAGA supporter, although he’s reportedly said he was taken out of context.<\/p>\n

The brief suspension sparked immediate outrage from Kimmel’s fellow late night hosts and many liberals. However, these same late night talk show hosts<\/a> celebrated when Trump was deplatformed in 2021 after the January 6 Capitol riot. Grabien’s Tom Elliot<\/a>, put a compilation of all the late night hosts celebrating the news.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Trump has been suspended from Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and even Snapchat, but don\u2019t worry Mr. President, there are still plenty of apps you do have access to,” Kimmel sarcastically said. “You still have Spotify to drown out the sound of millions of people cheering as you leave.”<\/p>\n

He also mocked when Parler, a right-leaning social media app, was deplatformed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Trumpers are complaining bitterly that they\u2019re being silenced. In fact, they won’t shut up about it,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I love having Donald Trump off Twitter,<\/a> not to mention all the other toxic racists and conspiracy theorists who have been booted off,” “Late Night” host Seth Meyers said, though he did warn that the Big Tech companies are acting as monopolies.<\/p>\n

Stephen Colbert of “The Late Show” responded at the time, “Oh, damn! A lifetime Twitter ban has got to sting. They took away his precious!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He continued, “But Twitter isn\u2019t the only social media site that wants nothing to do with our president. He\u2019s also been banned or restricted from a bevy of other platforms, including Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Reddit, and even Twitch. What are you waiting for, Pornhub?”<\/p>\n

“The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon joked that Trump had become the “Pete Rose” of social media.<\/p>\n

“If you think Trump is upset about getting impeached, imagine how he felt the other day when Twitter announced they\u2019re permanently suspending his account. A lifetime ban,” he said to cheers and applause. “A lifetime ban. Trump\u2019s basically the Pete Rose of social media. Right now, Trump\u2019s phone is stuffed into a pile of rice after being drenched with tears. The good news is now Twitter can go back to what it used to be for, judging celebrities at award shows. In addition to Twitter, Trump has been banned or restricted from Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Google, Amazon, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Twitch, Stripe, Discord and Shopify. Trump started this year thinking he should be on Mount Rushmore, now can\u2019t get on Instagram. Seriously, in one weekend, Trump\u2019s phone became a $2,000 flashlight.”<\/p>\n

Conan O’Brien\u2019s talk show, “Conan,” featured a satirical skit of him checking on the outside world to see if “the world changed” since Trump was booted off Twitter. \u00a0<\/p>\n

His show, about 48 hours before the official end of Trump\u2019s first presidency, then proceeded to show what appears to be stock footage of people happily looking at their smartphones and computers, shaking hands at protests, throwing a gun in the garbage, flowers blooming, icebergs reforming, the moon landing, and a futuristic city, as if the world has immediately been brought to a more utopian future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I like it,” Conan said after closing the door behind him.<\/p>\n

“The Late Late Show” host James Corden reacted in 2022 when it was first revealed the possibility that someone had plans to acquire Twitter and reinstate Trump to the platform.<\/p>\n

“I tell you what, banning Trump was like one of the few almost good things Twitter has done in like a decade,” Corden said. “Donald Trump is a scam account, it\u2019s all a scam.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
