Jimmy Kimmel is off the air, at least for now. On Wednesday, ABC confirmed that\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em>\u00a0will be preempted \u201cfor the foreseeable future,\u201d starting with that night\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n

The network\u2019s decision sparked criticism from many, but Donald Trump, currently on a state visit in the UK, praised the move, calling Kimmel a \u201closer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Preempted Across ABC Stations<\/h3>\n

Nexstar Media Group and its ABC-affiliated stations announced the preemption, citing Kimmel\u2019s recent comments on the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n

\u201cNexstar 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,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The host made the controversial remarks on Monday night:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He also criticized the lowering of flags in Kirk\u2019s honor and mocked President Trump\u2019s reaction:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish,\u201d Kimmel said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

FCC Threatens Action<\/h3>\n

The comments drew heavy backlash. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr condemned Kimmel and threatened to revoke licenses of ABC affiliates that continued airing the show.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLicensed broadcasters are running the possibility of fines or license revocations from the FCC if we continue to run content with a pattern of news distortion,\u201d Carr said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trump Weighs In<\/h3>\n

Trump has a long history of criticizing late-night hosts. From the UK, he weighed in on the cancellation via Truth Social:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGreat News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that\u2019s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth [Myers], two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kimmel\u2019s Response Cut Short<\/h3>\n

According to\u00a0Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, Kimmel was preparing to address the backlash on Wednesday night\u2019s episode. The show\u2019s cancellation prevented him from speaking. Reports say he intended to clarify his remarks, which were allegedly taken out of context, but he did not plan to apologize.<\/p>\n
