Damn!

Disney’s ABC is taking Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show off the air indefinitely amid a controversy over his recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson said, declining to share any further details.

A representative for Kimmel did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The abrupt announcement came Wednesday evening after at least one major operator of ABC-affiliated stations said it would not broadcast the show “for the foreseeable future.”

The operator, Nexstar, said it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”

The Federal Communications Commission’s Trump-aligned chairman on Wednesday threatened to “take action” against Disney and ABC over Jimmy Kimmel’s recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer.

During his Monday evening monologue, Kimmel suggested Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, might have been a pro-Trump Republican. “The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

And that’s controversial? So much for the First Amendment

I think the tech gods cut me off mid-sentence, lol. As I was saying he's so talented and with more time he might have been able to get at least half the viewers on his NETWORK show as Gutfeld gets on his cable show. Gutfeld has what, 1/6 the possible audience, but details aside, what a loss. LOL He'll be running around the street annoying people like his fellow radical scumbags. Maybe they could try a comedy show, it worked before the left became libtard dope addicts, remember?
 
He didn't celebrate anything.

This is pretty ridiculous. I've heard prominent voices on the right say MUCH worse without any criticism at all.

It's getting topsy turvy.
 
If people truly want to bring the toxic tone down, this is a great place to start. His ratings are awful as he alienates all but partisan hacks.

Good for ABC!!!!!

Free speech is currently on holiday.

Yes, I've been seeing this argument. As usual, the poor left is confused. We still have free speech, in fact, it's far more secure than it was under the Biden regime. But let me help you morons out in case you actually have jobs. You can't say whatever you want at work. Is that clear enough? No, I probably should explain, I'll try to keep it really simple. If I hire you to work in my store and a customer comes to you to pay for a product. Let's say you think the person is fat and ugly, lol. You have freedom of speech and will not be arrested for saying, 'hey, I think you fat and ugly' but I will fire you. See how that works. Again, try hard to drill this past all the sludge into a little piece of brain you might have left, it could save your job. You're welcome in advance.

no, he just used the public airwaves to lie and be a gross human

large markets informed the network they were dumping his toxic show. This is wonderful news for America to heal

He's a comedian.

This will have a chilling effect. You just don't agree w/ his politics. People on Fox have had much worse rhetoric in the past week - much worse.

Trump is putting the screws to the networks

Oh, yes Trump did it. Of course, he picked up the phone and you know they have always listened to whatever Trump says, right? Oh, it's because he's having them pay for his library when they settle out of court for being the lying scum you idiots believe. You'd think a normal functioning brain might ask, I wonder if it's true, do they lie about Trump? Hmmmm. They did pay millions of dollars, I don't know, he probably threatened them with drone strikes or something. Hilarious.

the monopoly of late night tv being over is not going to have a chilling effect. the opposite will be true

he was not making jokes - he was lying through his teeth and people have grown tired of this stuff.

A better place to start would be prime time Fox, one demagogue after another employing melodrama to please Murdoch

No one has said anything about this. Jesse Watters went from this goofy guy doing on street interviews to one of our nation's most popular demagogues.

As always - I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Fuck you asshole. You supported the assassination of your president so, fuck you.
BTW, Kimmel was about to be yanked anyway so this was an easy out for Disney.
