why was jimmy kimmel show cancelled

Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show was suspended indefinitely by ABC because of controversial comments he made about the shooting and death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel criticized supporters of former President Trump, accusing them of trying to politically exploit Kirk's death. His remarks were deemed offensive and insensitive by some, including Nexstar Media Group, which owns many ABC affiliates and decided to preempt Kimmel's show on its stations. The suspension followed pressure from the FCC and backlash, with ABC stating the show would be "pre-empted indefinitely." Former President Trump praised the suspension, calling it "great news for America" and declaring the show canceled, though ABC has not officially canceled it but suspended its airing indefinitely.
