Outgoing "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert paid tribute to his fallen colleague Jimmy Kimmel after ABC pulled the host off the air."I'm your host Stephen Colbert, but tonight we are all Jimmy Kimmel," the CBS host began his show Thursday night.Colbert called ABC's move to yank Kimmel's show "blatant censorship.""And it always starts small," Colbert said. "Remember, like in week one of his presidency, Gulf of America. Call it Gulf of America. Sure, it seems harmless, but with an autocrat, you cannot give an inch!""And if ABC thinks this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive," Colbert warned the rival network.LIBERALS RAGE AS ABC PULLS JIMMY KIMMEL OFF THE AIR FOLLOWING CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN COMMENTSColbert told Kimmel, "I stand with you and your staff 100%," but griped that he couldn't let him enjoy his Emmy win "for like one week."He went on to shrug off Kimmel's comments about the accused Charlie Kirk assassin, suggesting Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair's Brendan Carr's condemnation was unwarranted and insisting what Kimmel said wasn't so "provocative."Colbert also slammed Carr's threat to Disney and accused him of being a hypocrite, citing a 2020 social media post decrying the censoring of political satire, including "late-night comedians."ABC INSIDER HOPES LIBERALS TAKE THIS LESSON AWAY FROM JIMMY KIMMEL SAGAColbert pointed to Nexstar Media Groups announcement that its ABC affiliates would preempt "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and noted the companys forthcoming merger would need approval from the Trump administration."So a company apparently capitulating to the whims of the president in order to ensure their merger goes through. Has that ever happened before?" he asked with a wink and a nod.CBS previously announced it would end "The Late Show" in May 2026, just days after parent company Paramount settled President Donald Trumps lawsuita development critics have linked to Paramounts $8 billion merger with Skydance Media.CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWSOn Monday, Kimmel suggested that Kirk's alleged assassin, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was part of the "MAGA gang" despite reports he had a left-wing ideology, which was later reaffirmed in Tuesday's indictment."We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel told his audience.He also mocked Trump over an exchange he had with a reporter about Kirk's death, saying, "This is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish, OK?"Disney had faced mounting pressure from ABC affiliate stations around the country as well as the FCC over its handling of Kimmel. The company ultimately decided Wednesday it would preempt his show indefinitely.

If youve ever boarded a United Airlines flight, theres a good chance your journey was quietly guided by a massive team working behind the scenes, far from the airport, and even farther from the public eye.That team is based at United Airlines Network Operations Center (NOC), a 24/7 command hub located just outside of Chicago, where specialists oversee nearly 5,000 flights a day.The facility houses more than 2,000 employees across 26 departments, from flight dispatch and crew scheduling to meteorology and aircraft maintenance coordination.Together, they monitor and manage Uniteds global operations, including departures and arrivals in major airport hubs.TSA SCREENS RECORD NUMBER OF TRAVELERS OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND AS AIR TRAVEL SOARS"What you see in front of you is really where our global operations is controlled," Harel Magaritz, managing director of NOC daily operations, said during a behind-the-scenes tour of the center.Magaritz says the job is all about constant coordination and expecting the unexpected."Its about knowing that anything around the world can happen at any given moment," he said. "All the things that come up that could potentially disrupt a flight our job is to collect that information and then communicate it out to the field."That includes everything from mechanical issues to weather delays to crew reassignments.MAJOR AIRLINE MAKES BIG CHANGE TO EASE TRAVEL WOES AMID CHAOS AT NEWARK AIRPORTSPIRIT AIRLINES WARNS IT MAY NOT SURVIVE ANOTHER YEAROne of the most critical teams inside the NOC is the in-house meteorology department, led by Nathan Polderman, senior manager of meteorology. His team is responsible for issuing weather forecasts across Uniteds network, and flagging any events that might delay or ground flights."In some cases, weve had two or three hubs with thunderstorm activity in the same day," Polderman said. "So you can imagine that makes the weather team very busy."Each day starts with two forecasters overnight, ramping up to four meteorologists during the day, according to Polderman. Their forecasts are used by flight dispatchers to decide how or if a flight should proceed.UNITED AIRLINES CEO GIVES 5-WORD PREDICTION THAT LOW-COST RIVAL WILL GO OUT OF BUSINESS"Turbulence, icing, bad weather at the destination airport, if anythings going to happen to that flight, the dispatcher is going to coordinate that," Polderman said.Magaritz said the goal is simple: keep flights moving safely and smoothly, often before passengers even realize a problem exists."Its about that comfort level of knowing youre not out there by yourself," Margaritz said. "Youre not just buying a ticket and hoping youll make it to your destination. There are entire teams and thousands of people working in the background."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPUnited officials also emphasized how essential it is to receive real-time updates from airports across the country in order to keep operations seamless across the network.
