Ben Stiller has spoken out after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely, following the host’s controversial comments about Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk. During his monologue, Kimmel mocked Trump’s response to the killing of conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot during a college debate. He criticized Trump’s seemingly indifferent reaction and joked about the President’s focus on White House renovations, calling it immature and insensitive. Kimmel also condemned attempts by some MAGA supporters to distance themselves from the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, who faces multiple charges.

The suspension sparked widespread debate, with many defending Kimmel’s right to free speech. Hollywood actor Ben Stiller took to X to say simply, “This isn’t right,” while Barack Obama weighed in, warning against what he described as escalating government pressure on media outlets. Nexstar Media, which airs the show, echoed concerns from ABC, calling Kimmel’s remarks “offensive and insensitive.” Meanwhile, Donald Trump celebrated the suspension as “great news for America.” Kimmel has yet to issue a personal response.
