From Hollywood, it's Jimmy Kimmel Live.
>> Jimmy Kimmel's late night show is taking
a break. An ABC spokesperson confirmed
to NBC News September 17th that Jimmy
Kimmel Live will be preempted
indefinitely following the late night
host's September 15th monologue, which
included comments about conservative
activist Charlie Kirk's suspected
killer. 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.
>> In a September 17th interview, the FCC
chairman Brendan Carr described Kimmel's
monologue as quote the sickest conduct
possible and threatened to take action
against ABC and its parent company
Disney. Shortly after, NextStar Media
Group, which owns more than 200 TV
stations in the United States, announced
that its ABC affiliates would preempt
Jimmy Kimmel Live for the foreseeable
future, with ABC later pulling the show
altogether. Meanwhile, Jimmy, who has
hosted the late night show since 2003,
has not spoken out publicly since ABC's
decision to pause his program. However,
he did react to Kirk's death with a plea
for the nation. Sharing in a September
10th statement on Instagram, quote,
"Instead of the angry fingerpointing,
can we just for one day agree that it is
horrible and monstrous to shoot another
human?" He continues, quote, "On behalf
of my family, we send love to the Kirks
and to all the children, parents, and
innocents who fall victim to senseless
gun violence.
