Disney's ABC pulls 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after FCC chair criticizes the host's Charlie Kirk comments
Disney’s ABC said Wednesday it has pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air “indefinitely” following the late-night host’s comments Monday about the motivations of the man who authorities say fatally shot conservative activist Charlie Kirk. During his monologue Monday night, Kimmel criticized Republicans for how they responded to Kirk’s killing.
ABC announced on Sept. 17 that it had suspended Kimmel's late-night show "indefinitely" after he made comments about Kirk's death.
Did Ozzy Osbourne's widow Sharon storm off "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" or "Jimmy Fallon's show" over remarks about Charlie Kirk? No, that's not true: Osbourne did not appear on either show since the death of Charlie Kirk.
Jimmy Kimmel’s staff will continue to be paid for the time being, as discussions continue between the late-night host and Disney executives over the future of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
SAG-AFTRA also released a statement following the news, noting, "The decision to suspend airing 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' is the type of suppression and retaliation that endangers everyone’s freedoms."
President Trump suggested ABC “indefinitely" preempted "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" largely because of poor ratings, and a look at the late-night program’s audience reveals a steady decline.
In a scathing post one day before Charlie Kirk's public memorial service, his Turning Point USA spokesperson and Charlie Kirk show EP claimed that Jimmy Kimmel's monologue that ultimately got him suspended had an "evil" and "implicit message" in it.
