"Kimmel made several remarks about the reaction to the Kirk's killing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Monday and Tuesday nights, including that "many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk." ABC suspended Kimmel's show after a group of ABC-affiliated stations said it would not air the show, and Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr said his agency had a strong case for holding Kimmel, ABC and network parent Walt Disney Co. accountable for spreading misinformation."
"Stewart's featured guest will be Maria Ressa, the journalist and author of "How to Stand Up to a Dictator." Ressa also shared the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for freedom of expression in her home country of the Philippines. Stewart normally hosts only on Mondays. The Emmy winner helmed "The Daily Show" from 1999 through 2015, delivering sharp, satirical takes on politics and current events and interviews with newsmakers."
Jon Stewart will host a Thursday episode of The Daily Show, appearing outside his usual Monday slot. His featured guest will be Maria Ressa, author of How to Stand Up to a Dictator and a 2021 Nobel Peace Prize co-recipient for defending freedom of expression in the Philippines. ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show after his comments about reactions to Charlie Kirk's killing led several ABC-affiliated stations to refuse to air the program. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said regulators have a strong case to hold Kimmel, ABC and Walt Disney Co. accountable for spreading misinformation, while Kimmel's supporters say he never identified the alleged shooter as conservative.
