Earlier this week, it was announced ‍that ⁣Kimmel’s show has been pulled indefinitely from the ABC network (owned by Disney) over the host’s recent comments following Charlie ⁣Kirk’s death, sparking worries around political ⁤censorship.

Kimmel’s ⁤Comments and the Fallout

Following the shooting, Kimmel said during his monday night monologue that all signs point to Kirk’s⁣ shooter being a Trump ⁢ supporter:‍ “We hit some new lows⁢ over⁤ the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterise this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other then one of them, and doing everything they can to score ⁤political points from it.”

Kimmel’s monologue drew a number of complaints from ⁢viewers, prompting Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair Brendan Carr to seemingly threaten immediate action against Kimmel, the ABC network and its owner Disney for the comments. nexstar, an affiliate of ABC, then said it ⁢would be pre-empting ⁢ Jimmy Kimmel Live! episodes for the foreseeable future, prompting the ABC network to pull the⁢ show indefinitely.
