FROM NY Post: Jay Leno is the latest former late-night TV host to speak out in the wake of ABC’s “indefinite suspension” of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” following Kimmel’s comments about the Sept. 10 fatal shooting of conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk.
“I think Jimmy will land on his feet, he’s a talented guy, he’s funny and let’s see what happens,” Leno, 75, told Access Hollywood, while attending the Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony for former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Thursday.
Leno, who used to have a feud with Kimmel, added, “He may be back on in just a couple of weeks again, so we’ll see.”
Leno appeare to defend Kimmel, saying, “It’s a comedian talking, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it, I mean … let the people decide.
“If the people like his show, it stays on the air, I mean, it’s as simple as that.”
“I’m for free speech, you know Patrick Henry said it best, ‘Give me speech or give me death,’ that was the first go around with this argument,” Leno, the former “Tonight Show” host, said. “It’s been going on for 200 years and in a free society, it’ll go on for another 200.”
