Turin, 19 September (LaPresse) – David Letterman has called ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show ‘ridiculous’. ‘You can't go around firing people because you're afraid or because you're trying to flatter a criminal authoritarian administration in the Oval Office,’ said the host who became famous with his talk show. ‘I'm sorry because we all see where this is going, right?’ Letterman said at the Atlantic Festival in New York City. ‘This is managed media. And it's not good. It's stupid. It's ridiculous,’ he said.
