Kimmel was tapped by Channel 4 to deliver its 2025 Alternative Christmas Message, a long-running tradition that intentionally counters the formal Christmas Day address given by Britain’s monarch. The comedian used the moment to reflect on the brief suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, accuse Trump of trying to silence critics, and warn viewers that “tyranny is booming” in the United States.

Full Transcript: Jimmy Kimmel’s Alternative Christmas Message on Channel 4
Hi, I’m Jimmy Kimmel.
I do know what’s going on over here, though, and I can tell you that, from a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year. Tyranny is booming over here.

Millions and millions of people stood up and said: ‘No, this is not acceptable’. People who never watched my show, people who were on record saying they hate my show spoke out, they marched, they did this all to support the right to a free expression of speech and because so many people spoke out, we came back.

You know it’s funny we Americans are very proud of not having a king. It’s kind of why we left. Earlier this year tens of millions of us marched at protests called No Kings. You had some of those there. And just for the record we have nothing against your king. I mean I don’t know if you know this, but his son lives here.
Here in the United States right now we are both figuratively and literally tearing down the structures of our democracy. From the free press, to science, to medicine, to judicial independence, to the actual White House itself, we are a right mess.
And we know this is also affecting you, and I just wanted to say sorry. And we want you to know or at least I want you to know, that we’re not all like him. We’re not all like that.
So, if I might speak on behalf of my country – which I most certainly do not – our message to you, our friends across the pond this Christmas is: don’t give up on us. We’re going through a bit of a wobble right now, but we’ll come around.
No one knows better than you we’re always just a little bit late to the game, but do we come through in the end? Maybe. Give us about three years. Please.
