Former Walt Disney Company CEO blasted the company’s current leadership over Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension.

Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner criticized FCC Chairman Brendan Carr for allegedly using aggressive intimidation tactics to force ABC into halting the comedians’ late-night program.

Eisner also appeared to take a jab at his successor Bog Iger and questioned why leaders were not fighting against this supposed government pressure. 

‘Where has all the leadership gone?’ Eisner asked on X. 

Labeling this action as an assault on free speech, he emphasized, “If university presidents, managing partners of law firms, and corporate leaders don’t confront bullies, who will advocate for the first amendment?”

Eisner published the harsh post in response to the late-night host’s cancellation on Wednesday. 

Kimmel was pulled off the air ‘indefinitely’ by ABC after divisive comments regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Kimmel was pulled off the air ‘indefinitely’ by ABC after divisive comments regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk

ABC’s parent corporation chose to cancel the show following Kimmel’s incorrect suggestion that Kirk’s alleged shooter was conservative, even though investigators stated Robinson subscribed to far-left beliefs.

ABC announced on Wednesday that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be removed from the network ‘for the foreseeable future.’

Kimmel addressed Kirk’s tragedy, stating, ‘We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.’ 

‘On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this,’ he went on.

The clip then showed President Trump, 79, taking questions from reporters following the shooting, as one offered their condolences for the death of his ‘friend’ Kirk.

When asked how he was holding up, Trump stated, ‘I think very good, and by the way, right there where you see all the trucks, they just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House.’ 

Trump continued talking about the ballroom plans, saying the result would ‘be a beauty.’

Kimmel then quipped, ‘Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief, construction.’

‘Demolition, construction,’ Kimmel added.

ABC’s parent company made the decision to cancel the show after Kimmel falsely implied that Kirk’s alleged shooter was a conservative, despite investigators saying that Robinson held far-left ideologies

Many liberal commentators accused the current administration of censoring Kimmel, Eisner expressed the same

‘This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish, okay?’

Many liberal commentators accused the current administration of censoring Kimmel. Eisner expressed the same.

He added: ‘Maybe the Constitution should have said, “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one’s political or financial self-interest.”‘

In a dig that appeared to be aimed at President Donald Trump, who said Kimmel is ‘not a talented person’ Eisner wrote ‘By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. ‘

The two have a troubled history dating back to Disney’s turbulent succession fight in the early 2000s. 

Eisner was the chairman and chief executive officer of the Walt Disney Company from September 1984 to September 2005.

Eisner pioneered the company during and transformed it into an ‘entertainment industry giant’. 

His reign had a rocky ending after he was stripped of his chairmanship due in 2004, after shareholder’s lost confidence in him. 

Former second-in-command, Robert Iger, succeeded him and is the current Disney CEO.
