Jimmy Kimmel Ghosted by ABC for Charlie Kirk Clapback
On Monday, Jimmy Kimmel got yanked off ABC airwaves indefinitely after roasting MAGA's desperate PR stunt on Charlie Kirk's alleged killer. The longest-serving late-night host who's basically the Emmys' go-to guy stepped on a political landmine bigger than Nexstar's $6.2 BILLION plan to gobble ABC stations. FCC Chair Brendan Carr called Kimmel's jab 'the sickest conduct possible'—apparently, comedy is a felony now—and warned broadcasters about their 'public interest' homework while Nexstar proudly yanked his show to flex FCC sweet-talk for their mega-merger dreams. Meanwhile, culture war gladiators debated whether suspending late-night riffs is woke cancel culture or just prime-time political naptime.

Jimmy Kimmel’s hot take on Charlie Kirk landed him in timeout indefinitely, courtesy of ABC and FCC’s parliamentary cricket squad orchestrated by Nexstar’s $6.2 billion bribery, uh, acquisition ambitions. Late-night just got a PG-13 reboot: ‘No politics allowed.'
Nothing like killing late-night humor to prove that making billions on local TV licenses softens even the hardest comedy punches.
