why did kimmel get cancelled

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely and his late-night show was pulled off the air because of controversial comments he made about the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel accused supporters of former President Donald Trump, whom he referred to as the "MAGA gang," of trying to exploit Kirk's death for political gain. These remarks were deemed offensive and insensitive by ABC affiliates like Nexstar, which led them to stop airing the show. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman also criticized Kimmel's comments, putting pressure on the network to take action. Former President Trump celebrated the suspension, calling Kimmel's show "canceled" and praising ABC for the decision. ABC's official stance was to pre-empt the show indefinitely, but it has not been officially canceled yet. The decision sparked debates about free speech and political censorship, with reactions divided across political and entertainment circles.
