Jimmy Kimmel was indefinitely suspended from ABC's late-night show after making controversial comments regarding the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In his monologue, Kimmel claimed that the "MAGA gang" was trying to politically exploit Kirk's death and portrayed the alleged killer as potentially associated with that group. These remarks were strongly criticized by the FCC chairman Brendan Carr, resulting in pressure on ABC to take action. ABC responded by suspending Kimmel's show, a move praised by former President Trump but condemned by free speech advocates and some industry figures. The suspension raised significant debate about political censorship and free speech in broadcast media.
