"Kimmel was singled out for a comment he made during a monologue on last Monday's edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!: JIMMY KIMMEL: We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it. The move drew fierce backlash from all quarters, even as President Trump and his allies openly celebrated the suspension and looked for more."
"Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his talent was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we're going to test ABC out on this."
ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's show indefinitely after FCC commissioner Brendan Carr targeted Kimmel for a monologue comment about the Charlie Kirk killing. Kimmel accused the MAGA movement of trying to portray the murderer as anything other than one of them and of scoring political points. The suspension prompted fierce backlash and solidarity from fellow late-night hosts, alongside reports of Disney+ subscription cancellations. President Trump celebrated the suspension on Truth Social and threatened ABC financially. ABC later announced the show's return, while major affiliate owners Sinclair Broadcasting and Nexstar said they would not air the episode.
