Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show has been suspended indefinitely following controversial remarks he made about Charlie Kirk’s death and former President Donald Trump. In a recent monologue, Kimmel criticized Trump’s response to the tragedy and mocked the political right’s reaction to the shooter, Tyler Robinson. His comments sparked backlash, leading ABC and its affiliate Nexstar Media to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! from airing, calling his remarks “offensive and insensitive” during a tense political climate.
The suspension has ignited debate online, with Hollywood actor Ben Stiller speaking out against the decision, posting on X, “This isn’t right.” Former President Barack Obama also condemned the move, accusing the current administration of using government pressure to silence media voices—calling it a direct threat to the First Amendment. Meanwhile, Trump celebrated the suspension on Truth Social, labeling it “great news for America.” Kimmel has not yet responded publicly.
