Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show was suspended indefinitely by ABC following controversial remarks he made about the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In his Monday night monologue, Kimmel accused supporters of former President Donald Trump—whom he referred to as the "MAGA gang"—of trying to portray the alleged shooter as one of their own and exploiting the tragedy for political gain. Kimmel also ridiculed President Trump's response to a reporter's question about Kirk's death, comparing it to "how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish," referring to Trump shifting the conversation to construction at the White House rather than expressing appropriate grief. The backlash included criticism from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr, who warned Disney-owned ABC of potential consequences if they did not address Kimmel's remarks. Following growing pressure, ABC pulled Kimmel's show off the air indefinitely. Former President Trump praised the decision, mistakenly calling the show "cancelled" and congratulating ABC for taking action.
