The View did not talk about Jimmy Kimmel on their episode following the network's indefinite suspension of his late-night show. This silence sparked backlash from viewers and fans, as Kimmel's suspension was a major media event linked to controversial remarks he made about the suspected shooter of Charlie Kirk. Although The View typically covers hot and controversial topics, the panel focused instead on other subjects like FBI Director Kash Patel's congressional hearing and health-related topics. A source indicated the show's producers were not told to avoid the Kimmel topic, so it appears the hosts chose self-censorship during an internal crisis. ABC has largely stayed silent on the reasons for suspension beyond a brief statement. Fans expressed surprise and frustration on social media for the omission, seeing it as a significant avoidance of an important issue involving their own network's colleague.
