HiT 281: Why Is 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Afraid of Tyler Fischer?

Hollywood in Toto with Christian Toto

In this episode, we dive into the troubling story of a Jewish comedian who was canceled at the Boom Chicago club in Amsterdam, raising serious questions about the state of free speech in comedy today. What happened at the iconic venue is more than just a case of one performer being silenced—it’s a dangerous precedent that could have widespread implications for all artists.

Join us as we break down how cancel culture continues to tighten its grip on comedy, and why this incident serves as a body blow to the very foundation of free expression in the arts.

We also feature an interview with stand-up comedian Tyler Fischer, whose new FOX Nation special, 'No Pardon Needed,' is exactly the satirical blast of comedy we need in these times. Tyler talks about his experience navigating the modern comedy landscape, the challenges of pushing boundaries and why he believes comedy should remain a space for raw, uncensored truth. If you care about free speech, artistic expression, and the future of comedy, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
