Jimmy Kimmel is off the air indefinitely because ABC suspended his late-night show following controversial comments he made about the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel criticized supporters of Donald Trump and accused them of trying to politically exploit Kirk's death. This led to backlash, including Nexstar Media deciding not to air his show on its ABC affiliates and warnings from the Federal Communications Commission chair, which pressured ABC to take action and suspend the show. As a result, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is not airing at least for the foreseeable future, with no announced return date.
