US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel will say 2025 has been "a really great year for fascism", when he delivers this year's Alternative Christmas Message on Channel 4. The presenter's ABC talk show was briefly taken off air in September after comments he made about the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

Jimmy Kimmel has been slammed as 'out of touch' and a 'joke' after it was revealed that he would be delivering an alternative Christmas Message about fascism to British audiences.

In the speech, Kimmel says: "From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year."
