The only exception was the 2024 election when Stewart hosted a live special on a Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Wednesday, ABC announced that \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d would be \u201cpre-empted indefinitely\u201d after the late night host made a comment about Kirk\u2019s killer. Specifically, on Monday Kimmel said, \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The comment garnered the attention of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who threatened both ABC and the network\u2019s parent company Disney to handle the situation or else the U.S. government would \u201ctake action.\u201d Shortly thereafter, Nexstar Media Group, which has several ABC affiliates among its more than 200 owned or partner stations, said it would preempt \u201cKimmel\u201d broadcasts. ABC then announced it would be suspending \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>More to come \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/the-daily-show-jon-stewart-host-thursday-jimmy-kimmel-suspension\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jon Stewart to Surprise Host \u2018The Daily Show\u2019 Thursday Amid Jimmy Kimmel Fallout;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Jon Stewart to Surprise Host \u2018The Daily Show\u2019 Thursday Amid Jimmy Kimmel Fallout<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TheWrap;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Daily Show\u201d will be hosted by Jon Stewart rather than Desi Lydic tonight.
