Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show was indefinitely suspended by ABC due to controversial comments he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel accused Trump's MAGA movement of exploiting Kirk's death for political gain and wrongly associated the shooter with the MAGA political faction despite reports showing the shooter had a left-wing ideology. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), led by a pro-Trump chairman, and ABC affiliates pressured the network citing Kimmel's remarks as offensive and insensitive during a politically sensitive time. ABC's parent company Disney decided to pull the show to avoid regulatory and affiliate backlash. The suspension has sparked political and celebrity debate over free speech, censorship, and the influence of political pressures on media companies.
