Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely by ABC and his late-night show was pulled off the air due to controversial comments he made about the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel accused the "MAGA gang" of exploiting Kirk's death for political gain, which sparked backlash from multiple parties including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair and Nexstar Media Group, a major ABC affiliate owner. Nexstar called Kimmel's remarks offensive and insensitive during a critical time in national political discourse and decided to stop airing his show. The suspension also appears linked to pressure from the Trump administration, which praised the decision. ABC has not announced when or if the show will return.
