'The View' Fans Believe Co-Hosts Are 'Being Silenced' After They Fail to Mention Jimmy Kimmel's Show Suspension: 'They Don’t Want to Get Canned Next'

While just about everyone in Hollywood is talking about Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show being put on an indefinite suspension due to his comments about Charlie Kirk's death, the latest episode of The View completely skipped over the drama.

On the Thursday, September 18, episode, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin made no mention of the situation, which unfolded less than one day beforehand.

The morning program airs on ABC, the same channel that pressed pause on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Fans of the long-running show were upset with the omission, with many of them discussing it online.

"This is a very sad moment at ABC and I really hope the women take a stand either on the podcast or in their personal capacities," one person wrote on a Reddit thread, while another penned, "I'm watching the whole show thinking, 'why aren't they talking about [Kimmel]?' and then I realized 'they're scared.' They're SCARED."

"Wow, I am legit in SHOCK. Whoopi and Joy should be standing up for their fellow comedian. The silence is shocking me," another person said, with an individual replying, "They 100 percent would but it's clear they're being silenced."

"I don’t see this as shocking. They don’t want to get canned next for speaking against ABC," another Reddit user shared. "Free speech doesn’t exist when you work for an employer. ABC likely wouldn’t tolerate the ladies talking against them."

As OK! reported, it was announced on Wednesday, September 17, that Kimmel's show was being pulled.

"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 stated. "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."

Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar's broadcasting division, labeled Kimmel's words about Kirk's death "offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse."

The decision came after Kimmel's monologue on the September 15 episode of his show.

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid [suspect Tyler Robinson] who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel stated. "Many in MAGA-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk."

The father-of-four also poked fun at the way President Donald Trump reacted when asked how he was doing after the tragedy, as after replying, "I think very good," he pointed to the nearby trucks to boast about White House renovations.

"He's at the fourth stage of grief, construction," Kimmel joked of the POTUS. "This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish."

Kirk, a right-wing activist, was fatally shot in the neck while on his speaking tour at Utah Valley University.
