Following that bombshell announcement, Jon declared, “The shows that you now seek to cancel, censor and control…a not-insignificant portion of that $8 billion value came from those f—–g shows. What made you that money are shows that say something, shows that take a stand, shows that are unafraid.”

An ABC spokesperson has now confirmed that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be “preempted indefinitely.” This follows Kimmel’s controversial remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death.
During his show’s opening monologue on Sept. 15, Kimmel stated that President Donald Trump’s supporters were “desperately trying to characterize” the 22-year-old shooter who killed Charlie as “anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
The comment sparked intense criticism from conservatives online. Following the backlash, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr publicly condemned Kimmel’s statements. He hinted that broadcast licenses might be in jeopardy if ABC stations failed to take action.
