Actor Diego Luna wrapped up his week as guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” by showing how important comedy is in an era that’s seen a rise in authoritarian leaders such as President Donald Trump.
“There are many ways to push back, and one way is by making fun of them every night, like Jimmy does,” the “Andor” star said. “Using comedy to defend freedom. They don’t like that shit.”
