Roseanne Barr has a lot to say about ABC\u2019s sudden suspension<\/a> of \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d<\/p>\n ABC announced Wednesday that it would pull the late-night show<\/a> off the air indefinitely after comments the host made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk<\/a> faced criticism from the head of the Federal Communications Commission and prompted several network-affiliated stations to say they would not broadcast the show.<\/p>\n During his Monday night monologue, Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> criticized President Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> MAGA base over its reaction to the killing of the Turning Point USA co-founder, who was fatally shot<\/a> last week while speaking during an event at Utah Valley University. He also suggested that the suspect<\/a> in Kirk\u2019s killing \u2014 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah \u2014 might have been pro-Trump or Republican.<\/p>\n \u201cThe MAGA gang [is] 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 Kimmel said during his remarks.<\/p>\n Barr, who starred in the sitcom \u201cRoseanne,\u201d took to X<\/a> to share her thoughts on the sudden suspension. ABC had canceled her show<\/a> in 2018 after she put out a racist tweet about a former Obama aide, which sparked intense backlash<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah imagine an administration putting pressure on a television channel to fire a comedian they didn\u2019t like,\u201d Barr posted<\/a> late Wednesday.<\/p>\n Barr was responding to a post from political commentator David Frum, who wrote<\/a>: \u201cTrying to imagine the reaction if the Biden administration had demanded that Fox fire Greg Gutfeld because he wasn\u2019t sufficiently sad about the assault on Paul Pelosi.\u201d<\/p>\n Social media users had mixed reactions to her take, with many arguing<\/a> that Trump was president at the time of her show\u2019s cancellation.<\/p>\n \u201c!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\u201d conservative media pundit Ann Coulter replied<\/a>.<\/p>\n Catturd, a popular MAGA account, responded<\/a> with laughing emojis.<\/p>\n \u201cYou dumba– you got fired in 2018 under Trump,\u201d liberal influencer Harry Sisson posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n The suspension of \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d came after Brendan Carr<\/a>, whom Trump had nominated in November as FCC chair, told conservative podcast host Benny Johnson earlier Wednesday that there was a \u201cstrong case\u201d for action over Kimmel\u2019s comments, saying on his show: \u201cThis is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump celebrated the news<\/a> in a post on his Truth Social platform Wednesday night.<\/p>\n \u201cGreat News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that\u2019s possible,\u201d he said, referring to CBS\u2019s Stephen Colbert<\/a> of \u201cThe Late Show,\u201d whose show is set to end in May 2026.<\/p>\n He also urged NBC to ax \u201cTonight Show\u201d host Jimmy Fallon<\/a> and \u201cLate Night\u201d host Seth Meyers<\/a> from the network.<\/p>\n Read the original article on NJ.com<\/a>.
