Charlie Kirk, Trump Get the Last Laugh as ABC Cancels Jimmy Kimme
President Donald Trump responded to the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live! On Wednesday, after ABC and his parent company Disney pulled the end of the evening program, coinciding with the resurfacing of a tweet aged by Charlie Kirk who rejected the host.
Asset famous The movement in a social article of truth, writing:
Excellent news for America: the disputed notes on Jimmy Kimmel’s show are canceled. Congratulations to ABC for having finally had the courage to do what should be done. Kimmel has no talent and notes worse than even Colbert, if possible. This leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their notes are also horrible. Do it NBC !!! President DJT.
Kirk had do On X in 2017, “Jimmy Kimmel is not funny.” His observation once again attracted attention to social networks while users reacted to the network’s decision to delete Kimmel after the reactions on his comments on the poster on Kirk assassination.
ABC, Disney and Nexstar Media Group announcement This week that Jimmy Kimmel Live! Would be “preempted indefinitely” after Kimmel’s statements on the murder of the founder of Turnure Point USA, Charlie Kirk. Nexstar president Andrew Alford said Kimmel’s comments were “offensive and insensitive to a critical moment in our national political discourse” and did not reflect the values of local communities. The company said that the replacement of the show was in “the public interest” until “the cooler heads prevail”.
The fallout started when Kimmel suggested During his monologue Monday, the Kirk assassin may have been part of the “Gang Maga” and made fun of President Trump’s decision to order flags at half of the staff. The president of the FCC, Brendan Carr, replied by calling for Kimmel’s claims “really sick” and warned ABC and Disney could face consequences, including potential action against their dissemination permit. Carr stressed that the stations was responsible for not misleading the public and warned that the suspension was a possible result.
Reports on the suspect contradicted the characterization of Kimmel. Authorities identified Tyler Robinson, 22, as an alleged shooter. Family members indicated that Robinson did not like Kirk and had left opinions. Relatives said that his transgender partner “hates conservatives and Christians”, a detail later confirmed by the governor of Utah Spencer Cox, who noted that the partner was “a man transitioning to a woman”. In a message left for the partner, Robinson admitted having shot Kirk.
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld supported That Kimmel’s lines had ended his race at the end of the evening, calling him “finished” if he had failed to resolve them. Meanwhile, the chief of the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed The suspension results from government pressure. In an interview on CNN, Schumer warned that the decision could place the nation on the path of “autocracy” and predicted proceedings on violations of freedom of expression. Brian Stelter of CNN too supported This “America is a less free place if the late evening actors cannot do and say what they want”.
The cancellation comes only a few months after CBS confirmed the end of the next end of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,, citing Financial losses estimated at $ 40 million per year. Leaders describe The decision as “financial” linked to industry changes, although Colbert suggested the opposite during his emissions, labeling The $ 16 million regulations in Trump a “big bribe”.
Trump repeatedly called on the late evening hosts, assignment In July, the “Colbert’s talent was even less than his notes” and predicting that “Jimmy Kimmel is the next one”. He later added that Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon would soon be short of the air, on the “late evening competition”. Colbert and Jon Stewart responded with charged explanatory retortwhile Kimmel defended Colbert and said that looking at Trump Hue at a WWE event, “I applauded me.”
At the Emmy Awards 2025 earlier this month, there was No Mention of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Stephen Colbert received A standing ovation and used his acceptance speech to cry the loss of his show. In a separate pre-tax message, however, Colbert denounced Political violence, condolences to the Kirk family and called it “an eminent right -wing activist.
