ABC has indefinitely pulled Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show after his comments about the shooting of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Kimmel criticized those trying to politicize the shooting and mocked President Trump's reaction. His remarks drew criticism from FCC chair Brendan Carr, who called for Disney to take action. Nexstar and Sinclair, major ABC affiliates, also dropped the show, citing offensive content. While Kimmel hasn't been fired, the suspension sparked debate about free speech and censorship, with unions condemning the decision. Trump celebrated the suspension, while Kimmel left the studio without comment.
