Jimmy Kimmel Uses Channel 4’s Alternative Christmas Message to Rebuke Trump, Warn of Democratic Erosion

In a UK address, he recounts his brief ABC suspension, alleging government pressure behind it.

Overview

  • The Channel 4 broadcast aired on Christmas Day as the network’s long-running counterpoint to the monarch’s address.
  • Kimmel labeled President Trump “King Donny the Eighth” and said he is “calling for executions.”
  • He claimed the U.S. government threatened him and ABC before his show was pulled in September, a claim presented in the address and reported in coverage.
  • He credited a public outcry with bringing Jimmy Kimmel Live back within a week after his monologue about the Charlie Kirk shooting.
  • Warning that U.S. institutions are being dismantled “figuratively and literally,” he cited the White House East Wing demolition and urged Britons not to give up on America.
