On Wednesday, Sept. 17, Nexstar, one of ABC‘s largest affiliate groups, pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely.” Nexstar said in a statement to Variety that it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”
Although the news broke while Colbert taped The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, he did not address Kimmel's fate on the Sept. 17 episode of his CBS show. Fast-forward to the Thursday, Sept. 18 episode of The Late Show, and the 61-year-old sent a clear message of support to his fellow late-night host.
