00:00Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show pulled indefinitely by ABC in stunning move after Charlie Kirk
00:06assassination comments. Jimmy Kimmel is facing repercussions after his remarks about Charlie
00:11Kirk. The late-night host's talk show was shockingly pulled from the air on Wednesday,
00:16September 17, following the comedian's comments about Kirk, a right-wing political activist who
00:21was assassinated at age 31 while speaking at Utah Valley University one week prior.
00:26Jimmy Kimmel Live will be preempted indefinitely, a spokesperson for ABC revealed to deadline.
00:33The news came just moments after Nextstar kicked Kimmel's show-off stations it owns across the
00:38country, stating it strongly opposes to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the
00:43killing of Charlie Kirk. During his Monday monologue, Kimmel said,
00:47We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this
00:52kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them. He also mocked
00:56President Donald Trump's response to Kirk's murder, comparing it to how a four-year-old mourns a
01:01goldfish. Kimmel's words sparked outrage among the MAGA fan base, as critics accused the comedian of
01:07lying about Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson's political affiliation. Some demanded an on-air apology
01:14for spreading dangerous misinformation and hate speech, claiming such rhetoric is putting millions of
01:19Americans in harm's way.
