ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ After Controversial Remarks on Charlie Kirk Murder

ABC has suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely following remarks by Jimmy Kimmel concerning the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The host suggested that MAGA supporters were trying to distance themselves from the shooter while also capitalizing on the tragedy, sparking backlash. Major ABC affiliates owned by Nexstar Media Group pulled the show in their markets, describing Kimmel’s comments as “offensive and insensitive.” FCC Chair Brendan Carr criticized the monologues and warned of regulatory consequences, including potential license actions. President Trump celebrated the suspension, while free speech advocates and Democratic lawmakers raised alarms about political pressure on media institutions.
