Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely by ABC following controversial remarks 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 former President Trump's response to the tragedy. These comments were deemed offensive and insensitive by several ABC affiliates, including Nexstar and Sinclair, who subsequently stopped airing Kimmel's show. Additionally, Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), criticized Kimmel's remarks as misleading and "sick," urging Disney and ABC to take action. Under mounting pressure from broadcasters and the FCC, ABC suspended Kimmel's late-night program indefinitely. Kimmel has not publicly responded to the suspension as of now.
