ABC has indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! after host Jimmy Kimmel's monologue drew sharp backlash for remarks about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Nexstar, a major ABC affiliate station group, pulled the show from its 23 stations, with Disney later confirming the preemption. Kimmel's comments, which criticized the MAGA movement's response to the incident, sparked immediate controversy.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr highlighted the seriousness of the issue for Disney, prompting swift action. The network faced potential legal liabilities if violent acts were attributed to Kimmel's rhetoric. Disney's decision reflects its risk-averse stance amid heightened scrutiny of media content.
