ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live Off Air Without Explanation….#@

A Pattern of Unexpected Breaks

This marks the second abrupt departure for the long-running program in recent months. Kimmel, who typically records his show Monday through Thursday at 4:30 p.m. PST, has rarely missed broadcasts during his 22 years hosting.

In September, ABC suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after Kimmel made controversial remarks about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination. “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,” Kimmel said on air.

Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group subsequently pulled the program from dozens of ABC affiliates, calling Kimmel’s comments “ill-timed and insensitive.”
