BREAKING NEWS: Jimmy Kimmel’s Show Pulled Indefinitely by ABC After Charlie Kirk Remarks
LOS ANGELES, CA — In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the media world, ABC announced tonight that Jimmy Kimmel Live has been suspended indefinitely following the host’s controversial remarks about the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, who was shot dead at just 31.
The decision came only hours after mounting backlash, with millions of viewers and prominent voices across the political and entertainment spectrum calling for accountability. According to sources inside the network, Disney executives moved quickly, facing pressure from affiliates and outrage on social media.
During his Monday night monologue, Kimmel made remarks speculating about Kirk’s suspected killer and mocked the political response to his death — words that many deemed tasteless, divisive, and deeply disrespectful. Within minutes, clips of the segment went viral, sparking fury and drawing condemnation from leaders, entertainers, and grieving fans alike.
By Tuesday afternoon, the FCC chairman weighed in, and several ABC affiliate stations announced they would no longer air the program. Hours later, Disney’s decision was official: Jimmy Kimmel Live will not return “for the foreseeable future.”
Kimmel has not yet issued a personal statement. His representatives have remained silent as the controversy intensifies.
Meanwhile, tributes continue pouring in for Charlie Kirk — a young father, husband, and outspoken conservative activist whose sudden death shocked the nation. For many, the contrast between the raw grief of his family and the tone of Kimmel’s remarks has only deepened the public outcry.
Now, with one of late-night television’s longest-running shows off the air, the question hangs heavy over Hollywood and Washington alike: Is this a temporary suspension — or the end of Jimmy Kimmel Live as America has known it?
