Television broadcasting company Sinclair did not run a planned Charlie Kirk news segment on Friday night. The special, meant to memorialize the conservative activist who was murdered on Sept. 10, was scheduled to air during Jimmy Kimmel’s usual time slot on ABC. Instead, six minutes before the program was set to air, Sinclair released a statement saying that the Kirk special would only be available on YouTube. “Tonight, Sinclair will continue to air ABC network programming as scheduled in the late-night time period,” the company stated. “The Charlie Kirk special will instead be available on The National News Desk’s YouTube channel, ensuring viewers can continue to enjoy ABC programming while also providing full access to the special online.” The ABC programming that replaced both Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the special was a re-run of Celebrity Family Feud. Sinclair and Nexstar, another major broadcasting group, both pulled Kimmel’s show from air on Wednesday, hours before ABC suspended the late night host indefinitely, citing comments Kimmel made about Kirk’s death on his Monday night broadcast. “Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country,” Sinclair vice chairman Jason Smith, following the decision. It is unclear when or if Kimmel will return to air.
Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika, has revealed that she won’t push for the accused killer in her husband’s assassination to face the death penalty. The mom of two said in an interview with the New York Times published Sunday she keeps being asked the same questions in the wake of the conservative activist’s murder at Utah Valley University. “I’ve had so many people ask, ‘Do you feel anger toward this man? Like, do you want to seek the death penalty?’” the 36-year-old widow said. But she insisted that she doesn’t want to be the one to decide. ”I’ll be honest. I told our lawyer, I want the government to decide this. I do not want that man’s blood on my ledger. Because when I get to heaven, and Jesus is like: ‘Uh, eye for an eye? Is that how we do it?’ And that keeps me from being in heaven, from being with Charlie?” she said. Tyler James Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, has been accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk, 31, from a rooftop during a Turning Point USA event on Sept. 10. Robinson is charged with aggravated murder, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Ghislaine Maxwell was spotted heading to a yoga class in the first sighting of the convicted sex trafficker since she arrived at her new Texas prison. Maxwell—who was convicted in 2022 of conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to abuse minors—appeared with chin-length, dark hair and was carrying an umbrella in photos published by the Mirror on Saturday. The disgraced society fixture was serving a 20-year prison sentence at a Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, before she was quietly transferred last month to a minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas—nicknamed “Camp Cupcake” for its relative comforts compared to other lock-ups. Maxwell’s transfer came after a 9-hour interview with the Department of Justice, sparking concerns among Democrats and Epstein victims about witness tampering. “Ghislaine helped destroy so many lives, and now she gets rewarded with a transfer to a country club prison,” one victim told the Mirror. “It’s a slap in the face to survivors. We’ve been left with scars that never heal, while she gets to do yoga and tend gardens while serving her time.”
Legendary musician John Lennon was apparently such a bully at school that his former academic institution refused to even acknowledge his attendance. According to Tom Barry, a teacher at Quarry Bank School in Liverpool, where Lennon studied from 1952-1957, the soon-to-be Beatle was effectively scrubbed from the school’s history. “When John left, he was that much of a nuisance and a bully and that much of a poor student, the school staff didn’t want to acknowledge that he ever went to the school and removed any trace of him,” Barry told The Independent. “He was never spoken about; he was never acknowledged through Beatlemania.” The school routinely turned away Beatles fans throughout the height of the band’s monumental popularity in order to break their association with Lennon. Lennon, who was born in Liverpool on October 9, 1940, became one of the most iconic musicians of all time as The Beatles’ frontman and with his later solo records. The “Imagine” singer was shot and killed by a disturbed fan outside his New York City apartment on December 8, 1980, further cementing his legacy. However, his reputation has since been reconsidered, owing to his own admissions of domestic violence, adultery, and neglect of his first son, Julian. “They didn’t want to idolize him and for students to think you can prat about and be a bit of a bully and still be successful,” Barry said.

President Donald Trump debuted his latest hand look at the American Cornerstone Institute Founders Dinner at George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate in Virginia on Saturday night. Having looked decidedly black-and-blue on Friday, Trump’s right hand appeared to have had a fresh lick of paint or, at the very least, been touched up by someone who knows how to wield concealer. Trump’s right hand has sported an unsightly discoloration since February. The White House initially attributed the bruising to frequent hand-shaking and the use of aspirin, which can affect circulation. In July, Trump’s physician noted the aspirin use was part of a treatment regime for chronic venous insufficiency, which the president has been diagnosed with. However, this condition typically affects the legs, not the hands, which does explain the “cankles” Trump has been seen sporting as of late. Trump made a series of bizarre remarks at the dinner on Saturday, including the claim that George Washington would have voted for his “America First” agenda. He also claimed that he suggested to King Charles III, on his recent visit to the United Kingdom, that he should adopt the moniker of England’s historic Norman settler, William the Conqueror. Experts have previously suggested that the bruising on Trump’s hand is a sign of more serious health issues, including the early stages of dementia.
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone caused a stir earlier this week when they announced that the show’s first episode to air since the shooting death of Charlie Kirk would be delayed, with many fans wondering if the episode had been pulled by Comedy Central. Announcing the delay on X, Parker and Stone said, “Apparently when you do everything at the last minute, sometimes you don’t get things done.” Speaking to The Denver Post, Stone confirmed that this one really was on them, telling the newspaper, “No one pulled the episode, no one censored us, and you know we’d say so if true.” Echoing the explanation posted on social media, he added, “We just didn’t get it done. When you always cut it close, sometimes you mess up. That’s the price of being a procrastinator.” South Park, which is currently airing its 27th season, made fun of Kirk in an episode that was aired last month, with Eric Cartman playing a version of the 31-year-old conservative influencer, leading fans to worry the show had been censored in the wake of Kirk’s killing. The next new episode will now air on September 24.
A writer on the Star Wars Emmy winning show Andor slammed President Trump’s effort to cancel Jimmy Kimmel Live! in a Friday op-ed for Deadline. Dan Gilroy, who writes for the Disney+ drama, called the FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s successful bid to get Jimmy Kimmel’s show pulled off the air a “siege.” He said he sees “parallels” between the “fascist takeover” that is depicted in the sci-fi show and “Trump’s tools of governance.” Gilroy writes, “Disney now stands at a crossroads: terminate Kimmel’s contract and become pavement for the road to a brave new Trumpian world; or stand for the First Amendment and take the onslaught.” Gilroy, who wrote and directed the 2014 film Nightcrawler, made comparisons to President Vladimir Putin’s control of the media in Russia. “The first thing Putin did after taking power was silence shows that criticized him. Artists are censored first because they fear us most,” he wrote. Gilroy concluded his cautionary op-ed with a call to action. “Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority,” he wrote.
Senator John Fetterman was caught by a fellow plane traveler eating a sandwich off the floor at an airport on Friday. The Pennsylvania Democrat had the photo snapped, seemingly unbeknownst to him, as he reached below his terminal seat to grab the quick meal, which sat on top of its wrapper, at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia. The person posted it on X, writing, “Senator John Fetterman enjoying a nice floor sandwich this Friday afternoon at DCA.” An eagle and U.S. flag emojis concluded the caption. Many people were quick to criticize Fetterman for his lunching decision. “Gross, also a sandwich on the floor doesn’t sound too appealing,” one person wrote. “Just nasty,” another person added. But several people were quick to come to his defense, even relating to him. “One of us!” one person wrote. Another said, “Those among us who have not enjoyed a nice floor sandwich shall cast the first stone.” Fetterman co-sponsored a number of bills and resolutions the day prior.

Stan Lee will make an unsettling AI holographic appearance at this year’s L.A. Comic Con in September. The Marvel comic book legend died in 2018 at 95, but fans will be able to speak with him again — at least sort of. The Stan Lee Experience at the Los Angeles comic convention, which runs from Sept. 26 to Sept. 28, will cost between $15 and $20 to enter, depending on whether tickets are bought in advance. A hologram of the co-creator of Spider-Man will use AI to converse with fans in a 1,500-foot enclosed booth. “Fortunately, with decades of footage capturing his thoughts on so many subjects, we can build a voice that stays true, not always word for word, but always faithful in spirit, context, and intent,” said Bob Sabouni, Head of Stan Lee Legacy Programs for Kartoon Studios and a former Marvel executive. But if fans don’t want to spend their three minutes just talking to the projection, they can take photos with it too. The creepy creation was developed by the realistic avatar creator company Hyperreal and Proto Hologram, which recently helped make interactive mirrors in malls from The Conjuring.
Actor and director Rob Reiner told CNN, “This may be the last time you ever see me,” after speaking out against President Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Reiner, star and director of This Is Spinal Tap, remarked to anchor Brianna Keilar after launching criticisms over Jimmy Kimmel Live! being pulled off the air. Kimmel’s show was pulled by ABC’s parent company after FCC Chair Brendan Carr expressed disapproval of the show host’s comments regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Reiner followed up his comment by saying that “there’s only a couple of us that are speaking out in this hard way.” Reiner, who was recently on Kimmel’s show to promote Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues, called himself a “friend of Jimmy’s.” He added, “And what happened to him is unconscionable. It just can’t happen.” Reiner said Trump’s move “has declared war on this democracy.” Reiner suggested that Kimmel could potentially launch a lawsuit against the Trump administration for forcing his show’s suspension. “If I’m Jimmy Kimmel, I’m suing the Trump administration,” Reiner said. “I’m suing them for abandoning my First Amendment rights.”
