“We will not be silent as our freedoms are threatened by corrupt schemes and threats. Anyone who is complicit will need to answer to us,” said Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), a member of the House Oversight Committee, in response to ABC suspending “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after the host’s remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel accused MAGA supporters of “desperately trying to portray the young man who killed Charlie Kirk as anything but one of their own, using every angle possible to score political points.” FCC chair Brendan Carr cheered Nexstar Communications Group for dropping the show, while station owner Sinclair argued ABC’s move was “insufficient” and announced it would air a Charlie Kirk special in Kimmel’s timeslot. (Although the FCC doesn’t control networks directly, it can revoke licenses for individual local stations.) The timing is especially delicate for Disney and Nexstar: Disney is seeking approval for ESPN’s acquisition of the NFL Network, while Nexstar requires Trump administration approval to finalize its $6.2 billion deal for Tegna.

The Producers Guild of America also had a few words to say about Jimmy Kimmel’s ouster. “Late-night television has long been a space where satire and commentary contribute to our national dialogue,” stated the association. “We believe that artistic expression is essential, and that critical voices must not be silenced.” SAG-AFTRA condemned the suspension with the words, “The decision to suspend airing ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ is the type of suppression and retaliation that endangers everyone’s freedoms.”

ABC has pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from the air “indefinitely” after the host made controversial comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. “We 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,” said Kimmel in his monologue. During an interview before ABC’s ban, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr suggested ABC’s broadcast license was at risk, then Nexstar said its stations would preempt the show. On social media, FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez criticized Carr’s stance. “An inexcusable act of political violence by one disturbed individual must never be exploited as justification for broader censorship or control,” wrote Gomez. “This Administration is increasingly using the weight of government power to suppress lawful expression, not because it glorifies violence or breaks the law, but because it challenges those in power or reflects views they oppose.”
