Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show on ABC has been suspended indefinitely as of September 17, 2025. This came after Kimmel made controversial comments about the shooting and death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during his September 15 monologue. Kimmel accused supporters of former President Donald Trump ("the MAGA gang") of trying to exploit Kirk's death for political gain and criticized Trump's response to the tragedy, which led to backlash from conservative groups and ABC affiliates. Major affiliates like Nexstar and Sinclair decided to pull the show from their airwaves, prompting ABC to halt the program indefinitely. Former President Trump celebrated this suspension on social media. The future of the show remains uncertain, with no clear timeline for return and no official cancellation announced yet.
