In his opening monologue on Thursday night, Stephen Colbert mocked Disney executives for caving to threats from FCC chairman Brendan Carr when they pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

In an excerpt posted on Instagram before broadcast, Colbert also scolded Carr for calling Kimmel’s commentary on the rush to politicize Charlie Kirk’s murder an affront to community values. “Well, you know what my community values are, Buster?” Colbert asked. “Freedom of speech.”

“People across the country are shocked by this blatant assault on the freedom of speech,” Colbert added.
