Variety: ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Indefinitely After Host’s Charlie Kirk Comments

In his monologue Monday night , Kimmel said that the “MAGA gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s murder. Kirk, a prominent conservative activist, was shot and killed Sept. 10 at a debate at Utah Valley University. Three days later, authorities announced they had arrested the suspected shooter.

Some have fingered Nexstar's network of ABC affiliates pulling the show, though FCC Chair Brendan Carr is involved.

Matthew Haughey @mathowie@xoxo.zone says that on November 6, 2024 he wrote: "I hate to say it but our canary is now Jimmy Kimmel. If anything happens to him in the next four years, we've hit full blown fascism and need to leave the mine immediately".

jwz @jwz@mastodon.social: "@mathowie "Then they came for the milquetoasts"".

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
