 Disney said it is pulling Jimmy Kimmel’s show off of ABC in the wake of remarks the late-night host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

“‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokeswoman said Wednesday. The suspension begins with tonight’s planned broadcast...

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel during an interview with conservative political podcaster Benny Johnson on Wednesday and suggested the regulatory agency could take action against the broadcast licenses of ABC-owned stations. Owners of some ABC TV stations, including large broadcaster Nexstar Media Group told the network they were dropping the show.

Representatives for Kimmel couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

In his Monday night broadcast, Kimmel—who has often criticized President Trump on his show—said, “the Maga Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

“In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving,” he added.

Kimmel also said Vice President JD Vance and others in “MAGA-land” were trying to capitalize on Kirk’s death.

Nexstar, which owns and operates 32 ABC affiliates in large- and mid-size markets, said Kimmel’s remarks about Kirk’s death and his followers were beyond the pale.

“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” said Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division.  Article.
