Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show pulled off air ‘indefinitely’ after Charlie Kirk comments: Live Updates

Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled off the air “indefinitely” after the host’s comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

ABC confirmed the move to multiple outlets Wednesday after Kimmel said earlier in the week that the “MAGA gang” was trying to “score political points” from the fatal shooting of Kirk, per Deadline.

President Donald Trump, who has shared his contempt for Kimmel in the past, celebrated the show’s suspension, calling it “Great News for America” in a Truth Social post and urging comedians Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers to be ousted next.

Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man suspected of killing Kirk, has been officially charged with aggravated murder and six other counts, including obstruction of justice and witness tampering.

Robinson, who surrendered to law enforcement on the evening of September 11, also faces the death penalty if convicted, Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said on Tuesday.

Robinson, wearing an anti-suicide vest, appeared virtually from jail before a judge at an initial hearing Tuesday. The next court date is scheduled for September 29.

Trump and Vice President JD Vance will speak at a memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday.
