Overview
- ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely after major station groups, led by Nexstar and in some markets Sinclair, said they would not air the program.
- FCC Chair Brendan Carr publicly criticized Kimmel’s remarks and warned that ABC affiliates could face penalties or license scrutiny.
- Stewart is anchoring a rare Thursday edition of The Daily Show, with Nobel laureate Maria Ressa booked to discuss press freedom and censorship.
- Kimmel has not commented since the suspension, as supporters argue his monologue did not ascribe political motives to the suspected shooter.
- Other late‑night hosts are expected to address the situation on Thursday’s broadcasts, with new episodes slated for Colbert, Fallon and Meyers.
