Jimmy Kimmel has been taken off the air following comments made by the television host about the death of Charlie Kirk. It comes after the Chair of the US broadcast regulator threatened ABC’s broadcasting license unless action was taken against the comedian.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! Has been a staple of late night talk shows for over 20 years, but now the future of the show hangs in the balance as ABC confirmed on Wednesday that it would be suspended “indefinitely.” In a statement from the Disney-owned broadcaster, a spokesperson stated that “Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be preempted indefinitely,” meaning another show will be aired in its usual slot.
