Entertainment giant Disney has decided to indefinitely pull Jimmy Kimmel’s show from the schedule.
It action follows criticism from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr regarding Kimmel’s recent comments.“ABC spokeswoman confirmed the decision on Wednesday,” reported Joe Flint. Several ABC station owners, including Nexstar Media Group, have indicated their intention to drop the show due to Kimmel’s remarks.
Kimmel, known for his criticism of former President Trump, made controversial statements about political reactions to the death of Charlie Kirk during his Monday night show.
He expressed concerns that some were attempting to exploit Kirk’s death for political gain, specifically mentioning Vice President JD Vance and others associated with the ‘MAGA’ movement.
Remarks Controversy
Nexstar’s president, Andrew Alford, commented that Kimmel’s statements were “offensive and insensitive” and do not represent the views of their communities amid current national discussions.
