It appears that yet another late-night MAINSTAY has been silenced in the wake of the Trump administration!

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” has been suspended indefinitely by ABC, following his comments about Charlie Kirk’s death.

According to an ABC network spokesperson, they are pulling the show indefinitely and plan to air “Celebrity Family Feud” for the next two nights in its place, with future programming to be determined.

Nexstar was first to announce that it would no longer air Kimmel’s late-night show on its 28 ABC affiliates across the country.

In his monologue on Tuesday, Kimmel said that “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.”

Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr appeared on a podcast Wednesday, where he suggested that local affiliates should pull Kimmel from the air.

Later in the day, Carr posted on X, saying, “I want to thank Nexstar for doing the right thing. Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest. While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values. I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar’s lead.”

Kimmel, like CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert, has consistently been critical of President Donald Trump and many of his policies on his ABC show. CBS said this past summer that it was cancelling Colbert’s show at the end of this season for financial reasons, although some critics have wondered if his stance on Trump played a role.

Hours earlier, FCC Chair Brendan Carr told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that Kimmel’s comments were “truly sick,” and that there was a “strong case” for action against ABC and Disney.

“This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel, or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

“They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest,” said Carr, whose agency in March told Disney and ABC that it was launching an investigation of the companies’ diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

ABC’s pre-emption of Kimmel’s show is the latest dramatic example of a media figure suffering backlash for their public comments about Kirk’s assassination.

MSNBC fired political analyst Matthew Dowd last week after he said on-air about the killing that “hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.”

The Washington Post fired an opinion columnist, Karen Attiah, after she said there were “racial double standards” in social media reactions to Kirk’s slaying.

In June, ABC News cut ties with star national correspondent Terry Moran after he called Trump and senior White House advisor Stephen Miller “world-class” haters in a social media post.

Trump on Wednesday crowed about Kimmel’s show being pre-empted, and suggested that NBC cancel its own shows, “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” and “Late Night with Seth Myers.”

“Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

“Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!” Trump wrote.
