Jimmy Kimmel made controversial remarks about Charlie Kirk's killing that led to his late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" being suspended indefinitely by ABC. In his monologue, Kimmel accused the "MAGA gang" of trying to portray the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, as anything other than one of their own and exploiting Kirk's death for political gain. Kimmel also mocked President Trump's response to Kirk's murder, suggesting it was immature. These comments sparked backlash, including from the FCC chairman Brendan Carr, who called Kimmel's remarks "truly sick" and accused him of misleading the public. Major TV station groups like Nexstar and Sinclair chose to stop airing Kimmel's show due to the controversy. Following widespread criticism, ABC suspended the show but later, discussions with Kimmel led to changes allowing the show to return to air.
