ABC announced on September 17 that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be pulled off the air indefinitely, after remarks Kimmel made about the fallout surrounding conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The move came after Nexstar, which operates 23 ABC affiliates, declared it would stop carrying the program.

"In the twenty years since, I’ve gotten to know Jimmy, and if you know Jimmy, you know his incredible wife and head writer, Molly, who is not just his better half but his better three-quarters. You also know he is caring and empathic and grateful. You know he loves his country. You know he appreciates a good roast, and he can take as good as he gives. You know he supported his crew through multiple strikes, and you know he is generous and philanthropic, and most of all, you know that he is kind. I was shocked, saddened and infuriated by yesterday’s suspension and look forward to it being lifted soon. If it isn’t, I can’t in good conscience work for the company that imposed it. If you’re about to fire up in my comments, just ask yourself if you know the difference between hate speech and a joke. I think you still do. And Jimmy? You’ve ALWAYS known what you were doing. Love you and support you. D."
The show’s future is uncertain. Kimmel’s contract with ABC runs through May 2026, but the comedian has not yet issued a public comment. Meanwhile, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel’s on-air remarks, saying his agency may hold ABC and parent company Disney accountable, though Anna Gomez, the only Democrat on the Federal Communications Commission, said the threats against ABC and Kimmel are "truly empty."
