John Oliver from “Last Week Tonight” is speaking out about the recent suspension of Jimmy Kimmel from ABC. He’s encouraging viewers to put pressure on Disney by cancelling their Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions. Oliver wants people to specify their reason for cancellation as “refusing to protect freedom of speech.” He believes Disney should stand by Kimmel and his team and suggests that viewers cancel their subscriptions to make their voices heard.

The decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel came after he made comments about the “MAGA gang” and their response to a recent event. ABC’s move sparked criticism online, with many celebrities and industry professionals voicing their disapproval. Oliver emphasized the importance of being specific when cancelling subscriptions and highlighted the need to stand up against censorship and for freedom of speech.

Oliver concluded his segment by encouraging viewers to speak up and challenge authority when necessary, using the phrase “F— you, make me” to stand up against bullying tactics. He stressed the importance of holding companies and leaders accountable for their actions and decisions.
