"In a post to Truth Social just after 1 a.m Thursday London time, the president rejoiced over the news though he claimed the show was CANCELLED, as opposed to the indefinite suspension announced by ABC. Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED, Trump wrote. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that's possible."
"Earlier Wednesday, Trump's FCC chair Brendan Carr threatened ABC to suspend or fire Kimmel, or face consequences from the FCC. Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, Carr told Benny Johnson. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."
Jimmy Kimmel received an indefinite suspension from ABC, prompting President Donald Trump to celebrate and falsely claim the show was cancelled. Trump posted on Truth Social, praised ABC's decision, attacked Kimmel's talent, and compared his ratings unfavorably to Stephen Colbert. The feud between Trump and Kimmel has persisted for years, with Kimmel targeting the president in monologues and Trump demanding Kimmel's removal. FCC chair Brendan Carr warned ABC to suspend or fire Kimmel or face FCC consequences, saying companies can change conduct or expect additional FCC action. Trump subsequently urged NBC to remove Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, calling them losers and criticizing their ratings.
