Channel 4 to air alternative Christmas speech reflecting on a ‘really great year’ for fascism

Jimmy Kimmel makes surprising kinship with Marjorie Taylor Greene after both attacked by Trump

US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel is set to deliver Channel 4’s 2025 Alternative Christmas Message.
Kimmel's speech will focus on what he describes as a 'great year' from 'a fascism perspective'.
His selection follows an indefinite suspension from ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! in September.
The suspension occurred after comments he made regarding the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, an ally of US president Donald Trump.
The incident sparked a debate over free speech and press freedom, leading to Kimmel’s return to air five days later.
