Jimmy Kimmel's Late-Night Show Pulled 'Indefinitely' by ABC in Stunning Move After Charlie Kirk Assassination Comments

Jimmy Kimmel will not grace fans' televisions until further notice.

The late-night host's talk show was shockingly pulled from the air on Wednesday, September 17, following the comedian's comments about Charlie Kirk — a right-wing political activist who was assassinated at age 31 while speaking at Utah Valley University one week prior.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be preempted indefinitely," a spokesperson for ABC revealed to Deadline.

The news comes just moments after Nexstar kicked Kimmel's show off of stations it owns across the country.

"Nexstar’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show," the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

The message continued: "Nexstar 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."

Kimmel began facing backlash after poking fun at Donald Trump supporters during the Monday, September 15, episode of his late-night talk show.

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA [Make America Great Again] gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said during his opening monologue.

Kimmel additionally mocked Trump after an interview went viral of the president being asked how he was holding up in the wake of Kirk's murder.

"I think very good," Trump replied before rambling about the White House's ballroom construction.

"He's at the fourth stage of grief, construction," Kimmel quipped "This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish."

Kimmel's words sparked outrage among the MAGA fanbase, as critics accused the comedian of lying about Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson 's political affiliation.

"Jimmy Kimmel LIED to his audience by claiming Charlie Kirk's assassin is MAGA. I'm tagging @jimmykimmel @JimmyKimmelLive so we can all demand he apologize & tell his audience the truth," Former West Virginia state delegate Derrick Evans posted to social media.

"Hey @ABCNetwork we are demanding an on air apology from @jimmykimmel for spreading dangerous misinformation and hate speech on your network. Failure to comply will result in endless lawsuits. He can apologize, or you can cancel his show. Nothing else will do. The shooter was not MAGA, and harmful insensitive rhetoric like Kimmel's is what led to the murder of Charlie Kirk. This type of hate speech is putting millions of Americans in harm's way. I look forward to your cooperation," another person complained,” they added.
