Jimmy Kimmel Live Pulled Off Air Indefinitely By ABC Over Host Charlie Kirk Comment
Jimmy Kimmel has been pulled off the air indefinitely by ABC after backlash over his remarks about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. During his monologue, Kimmel suggested the suspect, Tyler Robinson, was conservative, despite investigators stating Robinson held far-left views and lived with a transgender roommate. The comments drew sharp criticism, including from FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who said the remarks were among the “sickest conduct possible” and suggested possible FCC action. Nexstar, ABC’s largest affiliate group, also dropped Jimmy Kimmel Live! immediately, calling his remarks “offensive and insensitive.” Kimmel, who initially posted condolences online, changed tone in his on-air comments, sparking the controversy. His show is now off the schedule “for the foreseeable future.”
