Jimmy Kimmel<\/a>\u2019s late night talk show is being suspended by ABC over his viral comments about Charlie Kirk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A network spokesperson said Wednesday that Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> will be \u201cpreempted indefinitely.\u201d<\/p>\n

The network\u2019s action came just after Nexstar<\/a>, one of the biggest owners of local TV stations in the country \u2014 including 28 ABC affiliates \u2014 said it will preempt the series for the immediate future. A source said that ABC had also heard from at least one other station group about the show, suggesting that an affiliate revolt may have played a role in the decision.<\/p>\n

The dramatic move follows Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr<\/a> threatening to take action against ABC affiliates in the wake of Kimmel suggesting the Kirk shooting suspect was a Maga Republican during a monologue earlier this week.<\/p>\n

A source tells The Hollywood Reporter Kimmel was prepared to address the backlash on Wednesday night\u2019s show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
