Please join us in congratulating Jimmy Kimmel on winning a prestigious Peabody award!
Jimmy Kimmel Live! was announced as a winner of the award ... after facing what Peabody described as an "unprecedented" attack from the Trump administration and unsuccessful attempts to have the show completely taken off the air.
And thank him for using the occasion to remind the world what a horse's ass Trump is.
"I called our president Fattyshack," Kimmel said, before listing other nicknames he has given the 79-year-old president over the years. "And somehow we got a Peabody out of that. This country really has gone to s--t," he added, via The Hollywood Reporter.
"Making jokes about the president in America shouldn't win you a prize. We have the right, guaranteed by the Constitution, to criticize and satirize our leaders," he added.
"You sent a message that we do care, and we stand up, and we will not stand by when comedy and journalism and dissent are censored and regulated and criminalized."
Add your name: "Congratulations, Jimmy, and thanks for fighting back against censorship, and for freedom!"
