Canada’s comedy leaders protest U.S. government pressure on satire, warning of free speech threats.
Concerns over censorship in comedy have intensified following the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show and government pressure on the FCC to restrict content, with Canadian comedy figures Ryan Belleville, Andrew Clark, and Liza Paul calling the actions a threat to free speech and a dangerous precedent.
They criticized the targeting of mild political satire, emphasized comedy’s role in holding power accountable, and noted the decline of traditional late-night TV, prompting Belleville to launch a YouTube series to fill the gap.
The discussion highlighted growing unease over political influence on entertainment and the future of satire in a shifting media landscape.
