'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Suspended Indefinitely Over Divisive Charlie Kirk Remarks

Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show has been suspended by ABC after his viral comments about conservative commentator Charlie Kirk sparked outrage and drew the attention of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). A network spokesperson confirmed Wednesday that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be “pre-empted indefinitely.” The decision comes just hours after Nexstar, one of the nation’s largest owners of local TV stations — including 28 ABC affiliates — announced it would not air the program “for the immediate future.”
