Jimmy Kimmel is done with his talk show, at least for the time being. On Wednesday, ABC confirmed that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be preempted “for the foreseeable future,” beginning with Wednesday’s show.
Jimmy Kimmel has aired the final episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after Nexstar Media Group and ABC affiliates announced they would preempt the show. The decision followed Kimmel’s controversial remarks about the murder of Charlie Kirk, which drew heavy backlash. While critics condemned his comments, Donald Trump, visiting the UK, praised the cancellation and called Kimmel a “loser.” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr even threatened action against stations that kept airing him.
