Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show has been suspended after his remarks about Charlie Kirk caused outrage. ABC announced the indefinite suspension just hours after the FCC chairman warned broadcasters about airing Kimmel’s program.
The controversy follows the shocking killing of Charlie Kirk, 31, founder of Turning Point USA, who was shot during a Utah speaking tour. Tyler Robinson, 22, faces murder charges and could get the death penalty. President Trump and Vice President JD Vance blamed “left-wing extremism,” turning Kirk’s death into a political flashpoint.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr warned, threatening fines or license losses. Within hours, major networks pulled Kimmel’s show. Trump celebrated, writing: “The ratings-challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED.”
Critics say this is an attack on free speech. “They are censoring you in real time,” warned Governor Gavin Newsom. Advocacy groups called the suspension “government pressure.” Many fear this marks a dangerous precedent. What do you think — is this censorship or accountability?
