The first amendment protects all private entities from the government limiting what they can say barring a few exceptions. Making fun of someone is not an exception. Threatening to fine the hell out of someone for making a joke, ESPECIALLY if you think they have low ratings and no one watches them anyway? Thats definitely violating the first amendment.
Does the first amendment protect novelty television?

Yes, the existence of Fox “news” and most right wing radio proves it.
It does when it’s the government who is making calls to cancel shows.
