US broadcaster ABC on Wednesday suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely, after comments made in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s killing led a group of affiliated stations to say it would not air the show.
According to a statement from Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, which operates 23 ABC affiliates, Kimmel’s comments about Kirk’s death “are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse.”
