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".
