Jimmy Kimmel got "canceled" in the sense that his late-night show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", was suspended indefinitely by ABC. This followed controversial comments he made during a monologue about the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel alleged that the "MAGA gang" was trying to exploit Kirk's death for political gain. His remarks were considered offensive and insensitive by some, including Nexstar Media Group (a major ABC affiliate group), and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr, who criticized Kimmel's comments and warned of potential consequences for ABC affiliates airing the show. Nexstar decided to stop airing Kimmel's show on its affiliates, and ABC followed by suspending the program indefinitely. This suspension came amid politically charged reactions, including public comments from former President Donald Trump, who celebrated the decision and criticized Kimmel's talent and ratings. The suspension shocked Kimmel's staff, ABC employees, and some audiences, though it remains unclear if or when the show will return to air. The controversy is part of a broader context of political tensions influencing media and late-night television.
