why did jimmy kimmel get suspended

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely by ABC due to controversial comments he made about the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In his monologue, Kimmel accused the "MAGA gang" of trying to exploit Kirk's death for political gain and criticized responses to the tragedy in a way many found offensive and insensitive. This led to strong backlash from ABC affiliates, notably Nexstar Media Group, which decided to stop airing his show on their stations. The FCC chairman also criticized Kimmel and suggested potential license revocations for ABC affiliates if they continued airing the show. The suspension came amid heightened political tensions and was welcomed by former President Trump, who has frequently criticized Kimmel in the past.
