Jimmy Kimmel was spotted in Los Angeles on September 18, 2025, just a day after ABC abruptly suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The late-night host, 57, visited his attorney’s office, sparking online buzz when photos showed him looking somber behind the wheel of his car.
Some netizens speculated he had been crying, while others felt he seemed “unbothered” or even relieved.
ABC’s decision followed Nexstar Media Group’s announcement that its 200+ stations would no longer air Kimmel’s show, citing his controversial comments about the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk. In his Monday monologue, Kimmel criticized MAGA supporters and mocked President Donald Trump’s response to Kirk’s death.
Trump later hit back during a press conference, claiming Kimmel was fired for “bad ratings” and calling him “not a talented person.”
As speculation mounts, fans are waiting to see if Kimmel will address the controversy directly.
