John Oliver offered an impassioned defense of Jimmy Kimmel last night on Last Week Tonight. The host spoke out about the importance of free speech and not succumbing to “bullies,” at one point directing his monologue at Disney head Bob Iger.

It's "the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away," the "Last Week Tonight" host said in a direct address to Bob Iger.

"America's third favorite Zazu" noted that viewers could list the reason for their cancellation of the platforms as "refusing to protect freedom of speech."

John Oliver said that “history will remember the cowards” in a blistering takedown of Disney CEO Bob Iger following Jimmy Kimmel ’s indefinite suspension from ABC.

John Oliver jokingly took aim at Emmys host Nate Bargatze, who vowed to keep speeches short Sunday at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. While accepting the award for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series for his HBO show “Last Week Tonight,” the talk show host zipped through his speech — but not before responding to Bargatze’s scheme.

John Oliver shared his thoughts on the Jimmy Kimmel suspension on Sunday’s (September 21) episode of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, where he encouraged viewers to cancel their Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions.

John Oliver has never shied away from poking fun at whoever his "business daddy" is at the moment, but on Sunday night, the HBO host lost his cool for just a moment after realizing he might have another one soon — one who is more likely to cave to pressure from the FCC.
