why did jimmy kimmel get pulled

Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air indefinitely by ABC due to controversial comments he made about the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. During his monologue, Kimmel accused the "MAGA gang" of trying to exploit Kirk's death for political gain, which led to significant backlash. Major ABC affiliate Nexstar Media Group decided to preempt the airing of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and stop broadcasting the show after the remarks were deemed offensive and insensitive amid a tense political climate. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman also criticized Kimmel’s comments and suggested that continued airing could put ABC affiliate licenses at risk. Following the suspension, former President Donald Trump praised ABC's decision and criticized Kimmel and other late-night hosts openly. Kimmel reportedly was very angry about the suspension and the network's decision.
