Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," has been suspended indefinitely by ABC. This action came after Kimmel made controversial remarks during his September 15 episode about the tragic shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Kimmel's comments criticized supporters of President Trump in the context of the aftermath of Kirk's death, which sparked backlash. Several ABC affiliates, including those operated by Nexstar Media Group, also decided to preempt the show. This came after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr publicly criticized Kimmel's remarks and suggested potential punitive action against ABC affiliates airing the show. The suspension surprised Kimmel’s staff and many in the entertainment industry, given the show's two-decade history and Kimmel's long relationship with ABC. The show will be off the air for the foreseeable future, with no immediate plans for its return announced.
