what did jimmy kimmel do

Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" was suspended indefinitely by ABC in September 2025. This followed controversial comments Kimmel made in his monologue about the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Kimmel accused the "MAGA gang," supporters of former President Donald Trump, of trying to politically exploit Kirk's death. He also criticized Trump's response to the incident, mocking it as immature grieving. The suspension decision came after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman, aligned with Trump, criticized Kimmel's remarks and warned that ABC affiliates' licenses could be at risk if the show continued to air. ABC, under Disney, pulled the show shortly after these comments, leading to shock among Kimmel's staff and fans. The suspension is indefinite, with no current timeline for the show's return.
