ABC removes Jimmy Kimmel's show from air: the reason - the host's scandalous remarks.

Show suspension due to controversial comments

According to The Sun: ABC has decided to suspend the airing of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' following the host's controversial remarks about the death of activist Charlie Kirk.

The parent company Nexstar announced on Wednesday that the show would no longer air, starting with the evening edition today.

Reasons for suspension

The suspension came as a result of recent comments by Jimmy about Charlie's murder, which raised concerns among management. The statement noted that instead the network would broadcast 'other programs' in its local ABC markets.

The controversial remarks occurred during Jimmy's monologue on Monday, when he said that the 'MAGA group' was trying to 'gain political advantage' from Charlie's murder. He also mocked President Donald Trump's reaction to this tragedy during the interview.

Charlie Kirk was shot on September 10 during a discussion at the University of Utah. The killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was arrested three days after the crime. Tyler is charged with murder and could face the death penalty.

While Jimmy's comments drew laughter in the studio, many viewers at home were shocked. One critic wrote:

'Jimmy is absolutely out of touch with reality.'

'My respect for Kimmel has diminished.'

Reaction to the situation

Just hours ago, fans were praising Jimmy for his support of Stephen Colbert, who won an Emmy for best talk show. Colbert thanked his competitors, Jimmy and Jon Stewart, for supporting the winner.

This is not the first time that Jimmy has found himself under attack for controversial comments on air.
