Jimmy Kimmel’s show is facing backlash from conservatives. After Kimmel made comments on his September 15th episode regarding reactions to the death of right-wing personality Charlie Kirk, Walt Disney-owned ABC announced it’s temporarily stopping new episodes of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*. This decision followed a similar move by Nexstar, a major affiliate of ABC, to cancel the show in several markets.
Nexstar, a broadcasting company, didn’t specify exactly what Jimmy Kimmel said that bothered them, and ABC hasn’t explained their decision further. However, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr had previously criticized a segment from Kimmel’s Monday show, where he discussed the person who attacked Charlie Kirk, accusing the attacker’s supporters of trying to downplay their connection to him for political gain. Around 6 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, Nexstar released a statement saying they strongly disagreed with Kimmel’s comments and would replace the show with other programs on their ABC stations. When asked for comment, ABC confirmed that *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* would be taken off the air indefinitely.
Vulture has contacted Jimmy Kimmel’s representatives for a statement and asked Nexstar and ABC to explain what happened today. We will provide updates as soon as we have more information.
