ABC Affiliates Preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for Charlie Kirk Tribute<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday, September 19, 2025, several ABC affiliates, including Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group, will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> to air a special tribute titled In Remembrance of Charlie Kirk<\/em>. This follows ABC\u2019s indefinite suspension of the late-night show after host Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s controversial remarks regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong>
Kimmel sparked outrage with comments accusing conservatives of exploiting Kirk\u2019s murder and disputing claims about the alleged assassin Tyler Robinson\u2019s political affiliations. His statements drew sharp criticism from conservative media and political figures.<\/p>\n

Affiliate Responses:<\/strong>
Sinclair and Nexstar cited Kimmel\u2019s remarks as \u201cinappropriate and deeply insensitive,\u201d demanding a public apology and charitable donations from Kimmel. They replaced his show with the tribute special honoring Kirk\u2019s conservative activism and leadership of Turning Point USA.<\/p>\n

ABC Suspension:<\/strong>
Under mounting pressure\u2014including from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and former President Donald Trump\u2014ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> indefinitely, igniting debate over free speech and media accountability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
