Jimmy Kimmel’s show has been suspended following his Sept. 15 monologue, in which he criticized President Trump and his supporters for “desperately trying to portray” Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged in Charlie Kirk’s assassination, as “anything other than one of them.” The decision reportedly came after pressure from FCC Chair Brendan Carr, with Disney executives ultimately pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Sinclair, ABC’s largest affiliate group, has reportedly said it won’t air Kimmel again unless he apologizes to Kirk’s family and makes a “meaningful personal donation.”
Reports suggest Kimmel is “absolutely livid,” and long-time friend, Adam Carolla recently shared that Kimmel claimed a helicopter was following him. Now, Critics and politicians, including Sen. Ted Cruz, have framed the suspension as a potential First Amendment issue, warning it could set a dangerous precedent. Meanwhile, President Trump has reportedly hinted at revoking more broadcast licenses, leaving Kimmel suspended, facing demands to apologize, and sparking a national debate on free speech.
