Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely by ABC due to controversial comments he made about the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel accused supporters of the MAGA movement of exploiting Kirk's death for political gain and made remarks that were deemed offensive and insensitive during a sensitive national political moment. The suspension followed criticism from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr, who threatened to take action against ABC affiliates if they continued airing Kimmel's show. Additionally, Nexstar Media Group, a major ABC affiliate owner, decided to pull the show from their stations, influencing ABC's decision to suspend Kimmel's program. The suspension surprised Kimmel's staff and was met with mixed reactions publicly, including praise from former President Trump.
