    Jimmy Kimmel Live! Taken Off Air Indefinitely After Charlie Kirk Comments | E! News



    Jimmy Kimmel Live! Taken Off Air Indefinitely After Charlie Kirk Comments | E! News

    From Hollywood, it’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show is taking a break. An ABC spokesperson confirmed to NBC News September 17th that Jimmy Kimmel Live will be preempted indefinitely following the late night host’s September 15th monologue, which included comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer. 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. In a September 17th interview, the FCC chairman Brendan Carr described Kimmel’s monologue as quote the sickest conduct possible and threatened to take action against ABC and its parent company Disney. Shortly after, NextStar Media Group, which owns more than 200 TV stations in the United States, announced that its ABC affiliates would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live for the foreseeable future, with ABC later pulling the show altogether. Meanwhile, Jimmy, who has hosted the late night show since 2003, has not spoken out publicly since ABC’s decision to pause his program. However, he did react to Kirk’s death with a plea for the nation. Sharing in a September 10th statement on Instagram, quote, “Instead of the angry fingerpointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human?” He continues, quote, “On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents, and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

      I mean he isn't wrong. Right after Kork shot it was a ton of democrat this and that. Trumps speach said it. Several seniors said it. Maineville pretty much everyone says stop the valance, stop the shootings in this country.

      Everyone who subscribes to the Disney Channel should cancel their subscription. They may not understand much but they understand a loss of revenue. Remember Elon Musk and Tesslar?!! Unsubscribe Disney!

      Human should be human being mannered. Being bold in killing with abnormal hatred towards a person who shows disagreement and trying to bring back our next gen, our future back to the foundation where America was found and built is JUST not right. God be the judge 😢. These guys are just having fun and they are heartless and bringing the society low and inhumane 😮 Firing in Not enough…
      We need tough love and lessons to save the whole country.

      Kimmel has made a lot of indecent remarks but to talk about a murderer was the worst. Especially when Charlie Kirk was murdered for everyone to see and it was so horrific.
