ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live After Comments On Charlie Kirk Assassination

ABC has pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live” off the air following host Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” one ABC spokesperson said to CNN.

The move came after a major operator of ABC affiliates, Nexstar, said it would no longer broadcast the program “for the foreseeable future.” The company said it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”

During his Monday night monologue, Kimmel suggested that Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Kirk, was a Trump supporter and mocked conservatives for rejecting that claim.

“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,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

FCC Chair Brendan Carr also criticized Kimmel’s remarks during an interview Wednesday with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson.
