Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from ABC
Kimmel’s late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was taken off air, and he was suspended by the BBC over his on-air remarks about Tyler Robinson, suspected killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, that drew the ire of the Trump administration.
Before his suspension, the late-night host had made remarks on Monday night about the September 10 assassination of Kirk.
"We 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," Kimmel said on his Monday night show.
