LOS ANGELES (Gray News) – ABC says it is taking Jimmy Kimmel‘s popular late-night show off its schedule indefinitely.
According to multiple reports, ABC’s move comes after Nexstar Media Group, one of the largest owners of TV stations in the country, said it would be preempting airings of the program following remarks Kimmel made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
CNN reports that Nexstar said it “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.”
According to Variety, Kimmel’s Monday monologue included saying that the “MAGA gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s murder.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel is quoted as saying on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Earlier on Wednesday, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr suggested that his team could take action against Disney and ABC over Kimmel’s remarks.
Kirk was shot and killed on Sept. 10 at a debate at Utah Valley University. Authorities announced they had arrested the suspected shooter, identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
