ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live from the airwaves “indefinitely,” over comments made by the host about the Charlie Kirk assassination.
CNBC reports that Jimmy Kimmel has not been fired.
ABC pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from the air on Wednesday evening “indefinitely,” after its host made controversial remarks about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The announcement was made just hours after the Federal Communications Commission’s head suggested that ABCv, a Disney subsidiary, should lose its broadcasting licence.
Nexstar Media Group was put at risk shortly after.
ABC said that its affiliated stations would “preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the near future, starting with tonight’s episode.”CNBC was informed by a person who is familiar with the situation that Jimmy Kimmel has not been fired. Disney will speak to him about what Kimmel should say when he returns to the air.

Kimmel stated that “the MAGA Gang is desperately trying to portray this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as something other than them and are doing everything they possibly can to score points on it.”
Donald Trump congratulated ABC for having the courage to finally do what needed to be done. Kimmel is a ZERO-talent and has worse ratings than Colbert, if it’s even possible.
Great News for America! The Jimmy Kimmel Show, which was struggling with ratings, has been CANCELLED. ABC deserves a big congratulations for having the guts to finally do what needed to be done. Kimmel is a ZERO-talent and has worse ratings than Colbert, if it’s even possible. This leaves Jimmy and Seth on Fake News NBC, two losers. They also have terrible ratings. Do it NBC! Do it NBC!
