After ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air, fans began to worry that the show might be canceled. The network’s decision followed Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, which led to an indefinite suspension of the show.
Is Jimmy Kimmel Live getting canceled permanently?
ABC has not announced the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The network has only preempted the show indefinitely, but if the situation escalates, the show may not return.
On his Monday night show, Kimmel insinuated that the assassin, Tyler Robinson, belonged to the “MAGA gang.” He made the remark even though investigators stated that Robinson had no ties to any political parties. His comments quickly sparked backlash, especially from right-wing figures and media.
ABC’s decision came shortly after major network affiliate Nexstar Media expressed strong opposition to Kimmel’s comments, calling them “offensive and insensitive.” Additionally, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) hinted at opening an investigation into Kimmel’s behavior and demanded an apology.
Sources close to the Daily Mail revealed that Kimmel is “absolutely f—— livid” about ABC preempting his show, especially since it was scheduled to air just a few hours later.
The source continued, “This is the last straw and Jimmy is now looking to break his relationship with ABC forever.” The source added, “Stephen Colbert is already looking to get Jimmy on his show as a guest in the next couple of days or within the week.” Both Kimmel and Colbert have openly criticized the Trump administration, so if the source is correct, they might team up in the future.
Even U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media to comment on the situation. “The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done,” Trump stated in his post.
Despite the preempt, Jimmy Kimmel Live! has not been canceled permanently. It is only suspended indefinitely for now, but if the above reports are true, it may not return.
