Jimmy Kimmel is not hosting his show currently because ABC has suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely. This suspension followed comments he made during a September 15 episode about the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Kimmel criticized supporters of Donald Trump for trying to politically capitalize on the incident. The decision to take the show off air came after backlash from ABC affiliates, including Nexstar, the largest owner of TV stations in the U.S., who preempted the show in their markets. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair also hinted at possible action against ABC affiliates because of Kimmel's remarks. The suspension surprised many in the entertainment industry, and there is no definite timeline for the show's return at this time. Kimmel's contract with ABC is set to expire in May, and his future with the show is uncertain.
