Late-night comedy hosts reacted with mockery of the Trump administration a day after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was yanked from the air following his comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Jon Stewart returned to "The Daily Show" with a "government approved" program and referred to President Donald Trump as “Our Great Father” and “Dear Leader.” He joked about Trump’s recent visit to the United Kingdom and played a clip of a reporter’s question about Kimmel and whether free speech was under attack in America.

“How dare you, sir! How dare you, sir!” Stewart bellowed. “What outfit are you with, sir, the Antifa-Herald Tribune?”

When the audience booed or expressed dismay, Stewart in a panic tried to shush them. A group of correspondents delivered a message in unison and showered the president with over-the-top praise as though they lived in a dictatorship.

Disney said Wednesday it was suspending “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after Kimmel made comments about the person charged in conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr threatened to take action.
