Trump Unleashes Fury on NBC's Fallon & Meyers After Kimmel's ABC Suspension

In a dramatic turn of events, former U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticized NBC's late-night hosts, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, following the surprising suspension of ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' The controversy ignited on X (formerly Twitter) when Trump, seizing on the moment, lambasted the NBC personalities, reiterating his long-standing grievances against them and the networks.

The genesis of this renewed attack can be traced back to Trump's persistent claims of unfair treatment by various media outlets.

He specifically targeted Fallon, known for 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' and Meyers, the host of 'Late Night with Seth Meyers,' both of whom have frequently featured Trump in their comedic sketches and monologues. Trump's latest remarks suggest a connection between Kimmel's situation and his perceived 'soft' treatment of Fallon and Meyers by NBC, hinting at a double standard in network censorship and political commentary.

Trump's post on X read, in part, 'So now Jimmy Kimmel is gone.

Where are Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers? They are just as bad, if not worse, and NBC does nothing about it. Total hypocrisy!' This direct accusation reignited the debate about freedom of speech, journalistic integrity, and the role of late-night comedy in political discourse. While the specifics of Kimmel's suspension by ABC remain a subject of widespread speculation and official silence from the network, Trump's intervention immediately shifted the spotlight to his long-standing feuds with other late-night hosts.

Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers have both, at different points, found themselves in Trump's crosshairs.

Fallon drew criticism from Trump supporters and, ironically, some liberals, after a 2016 interview where he playfully ruffled Trump's hair, an act many viewed as humanizing a controversial political figure. Meyers, on the other hand, has been consistently more pointed in his political humor, often directly lampooning Trump and his policies, which has earned him the former president's ire on numerous occasions.

The former president's comments suggest he sees a pattern of bias, arguing that while ABC may have taken action against Kimmel, NBC has been notably lenient with Fallon and Meyers, despite what he considers equally or more egregious offenses against him.

This narrative reinforces his base's belief in a 'witch hunt' by mainstream media and a politically motivated double standard in the entertainment industry.

As the entertainment world grapples with Kimmel's unexpected absence, Trump's vocal intervention has added a fresh layer of political complexity.

The public awaits further details on Kimmel's situation and watches closely to see how NBC and its two prominent late-night hosts, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, will respond to these latest accusations from the former President.
