Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> brushed off the Senate’s questioning of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr on Wednesday and said nothing was likely to come of it.<\/p>\n

Kimmel joked that the hearing stemmed from an “unwanted vacation” he took in September and quipped that Carr “is the tough guy who threatened the company I work for, saying we could do this the easy way or the hard way.”<\/p>\n

Carr appeared before the Senate Commerce Committee, testifying for the first time since his comments in September targeting ABC’s handling<\/a> of Kimmel over his controversial remarks about the Charlie Kirk assassination.<\/p>\n

Kimmel noted that the hearing aired on C-SPAN3, joking, “You know it’s bad when you can’t even make the main C-SPAN.”<\/p>\n

TURNING POINT DIDN’T WANT JIMMY KIMMEL CANCELED BECAUSE ABC\u2019S \u2018LIAR\u2019 DOESN\u2019T DESERVE TO BE A MARTYR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“In the end, none of the Republicans confronted the commissioner anyway. No one watched this. No one admitted to anything. Nothing was done to prevent it from happening again. No one\u2019s held accountable and your freedom of speech<\/a> is only guaranteed depending on what you have to say. It was not the bipartisan effort we might have expected,” Kimmel said.<\/p>\n

FCC Chair Carr did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kimmel also said he couldn\u2019t believe he was the subject of a Senate hearing.<\/p>\n

“It was so weird watching this morning while I made bagels for my kids. If you told me 30 years ago the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation would be holding a hearing about me, I guess I would assume I got drunk on a plane and tried to force the door open in the air?” he joked.<\/p>\n

JIMMY KIMMEL CHOKES UP AS HE EXPLAINS KIRK COMMENTS, SAYS HE ‘NEVER’ INTENDED TO MOCK ASSASSINATION<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Kimmel was briefly suspended due to remarks he made about Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter in September, but returned to air<\/a> a few days later.<\/p>\n

The suspension drew bipartisan criticism, with some conservatives expressing concern over Carr’s comments about ABC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said at the time that Carr’s remarks were “dangerous as hell.”<\/p>\n

“I think it is unbelievably dangerous for government to put itself in the position of saying we\u2019re going to decide what speech we like and what we don\u2019t, and we\u2019re going to threaten to take you off-air if we don\u2019t like what you\u2019re saying,” Cruz said on his podcast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
