After host Jimmy Kimmel made comments on his show about Charlie Kirk, *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* was temporarily taken off the air. Now, viewers who subscribe to Disney Plus and Hulu are protesting this decision.
On September 10, 2025, Kirk was shot and killed in the neck while giving a speech at Utah Valley University as part of his ‘American Comeback Tour.’ Police have arrested Tyler Robinson, who could face the death penalty if found guilty.
During his show on Monday night, September 14th, Jimmy Kimmel talked about the incident, implying that supporters of Donald Trump, or the “MAGA gang,” are trying to gain a political advantage from the killing.
Following the controversial comments, ABC has temporarily stopped airing Jimmy Kimmel Live!. While former President Donald Trump praised the decision on his social media platform, Truth Social, most reactions have been critical.
Why people are canceling Disney Plus & Hulu
After the announcement that Jimmy Kimmel was leaving ABC, many people online have threatened to cancel their subscriptions to Disney Plus and Hulu as a way to show their disapproval. Both of these streaming services are owned by Disney, the same company that broadcasts ABC.
Simply put, the company behind Jimmy Kimmel Live! also owns Disney Plus and Hulu. Many people feel the best way to protest this decision is to cancel their subscriptions to those streaming services.
On X (formerly Twitter), people are using the hashtags #cancelDisneyPlus and #cancelHulu to express their disapproval of recent news, and many are posting screenshots showing they’ve cancelled their subscriptions.
I’ve seen a lot of gamers saying they’re done with Disney. One person actually wrote “Goodbye Disney!” and another told everyone they cancelled their Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions because ABC seemed to give in to Trump and Carr’s demands – they called it ‘fascism,’ and honestly, it feels like a lot of us are pretty upset about it.

One person stated they don’t think “cancel culture” exists, explaining they simply stop supporting companies that suppress free speech. Another commented that the right to bear arms, as protected by the Second Amendment, has undermined freedom of speech – the First Amendment – echoing a point made by Jimmy Kimmel.
As far as I recall, people who support Trump previously criticized “cancel culture.” I’m disappointed with ABC Network and will no longer watch anything on ABC or visit Disney, or support any other company owned by the same parent corporation.
Misha Collins, known for his role on Supernatural, announced on Threads that he is canceling his Disney Plus subscription for the foreseeable future.
Honestly, a lot of gamers are upset about this news because it feels like a hit to free speech – it’s a big reason shows like South Park can push boundaries. And it’s not like Jimmy Kimmel was gloating or being mean about William Shatner, you know? He wasn’t trying to be disrespectful.
