Jimmy Kimmel Live! is not airing tonight because the show was indefinitely pulled from ABC’s schedule following remarks Jimmy Kimmel made about the shooting death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
Reason for Suspension
ABC announced in September 2025 that Jimmy Kimmel Live! was indefinitely suspended after Kimmel’s monologue criticizing the reaction of Republican figures to Charlie Kirk’s killing, as well as lampooning former President Donald Trump’s response. Kimmel’s comments were deemed offensive and insensitive by some broadcasting executives, who said continuing his show was not in the public interest during this period of heightened political tension.
Current Status and Reactions
The show has not been officially canceled but is off-air indefinitely, with no definite date for its return. The decision came following regulatory pressure and strong media and political backlash. There has been widespread debate about free speech and media responsibility related to the incident and Kimmel’s comments.
Other Factors
There were occasional absences and reruns due to personal reasons (such as Kimmel’s recent family events) earlier in the year, but tonight’s absence is directly tied to the ongoing network and political fallout.
