Jimmy Kimmel is furious after ABC abruptly pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! following his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Insiders say the 57-year-old host is “absolutely livid” and already looking for ways to leave ABC.
Sources revealed Kimmel may appear on Stephen Colbert’s show soon, uniting against what they see as government pressure. “This is the last straw,” one insider said. “Jimmy wants to break with ABC forever.”

Kimmel sparked backlash Monday after suggesting Kirk’s killer was tied to MAGA supporters. FCC Chair Brendan Carr called the remarks “some of the sickest conduct possible” and urged broadcasters to stop airing the show. ABC and affiliate Nexstar quickly suspended it “for the foreseeable future.”
Supporters call the move an attack on free speech. SAG-AFTRA said, “Our society depends on freedom of expression.” Governor Gavin Newsom called the suspension “coordinated and dangerous.”
Is this a victory for accountability — or a dangerous precedent for silencing dissenting voices on TV?
