Jimmy Kimmel thought he was being edgy when he suggested the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk might be linked to MAGA. Instead, he lied to his audience about one of the most tragic and politically charged events in recent memory. Comedy? Hardly. It was reckless, cruel, and yes—downright stupid.
Affiliates Say “No Thanks”
This isn’t about cancel culture. This isn’t about free speech. This is about business and decency. Nexstar Media Group—owner of dozens of ABC affiliates—looked at Kimmel’s tasteless monologue, looked at their viewers, and decided they’d rather air literally anything else. They pulled the plug “for the foreseeable future.” That’s capitalism at work, folks.
Disney Blinks Under Pressure
When ABC’s affiliates revolt, the parent company notices. Disney didn’t suddenly discover morality; they discovered math. Viewers tuning out, advertisers panicking, affiliates refusing to broadcast—it all adds up to lost revenue. So the Mouse House shelved Kimmel indefinitely. They didn’t do it out of principle. They did it to protect their brand.
The FCC Turns Up the Heat
FCC Chair Brendan Carr called Kimmel’s rant “truly sick” and reminded Disney that broadcast licenses aren’t a free ride. That warning, combined with affiliate backlash, left ABC with a choice: defend their failing late-night clown, or protect their business empire. Kimmel wasn’t worth the fight.
The Liberal Meltdown Pattern
Kimmel isn’t alone. MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd got canned for his spin on Kirk’s assassination. Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah lost her gig too. One by one, liberal media figures are learning that smearing conservatives—even in death—doesn’t play outside their Manhattan and Hollywood bubbles. Actions have consequences.
The Marketplace of Consequences
Free speech still exists. Kimmel was free to say what he said. Nexstar was free to say, “Not on our airwaves.” Disney was free to say, “Not on our dime.” That’s how the free market works. You can talk all you want, but if no one wants to listen—or pay for it—you’re done. And Jimmy Kimmel just learned that lesson the hard way.
Trump Gets the Last Laugh
Of course, Donald Trump couldn’t resist taking a victory lap. He celebrated Kimmel’s suspension on Truth Social, mocking his “ZERO talent” and garbage ratings. The irony? Trump’s not wrong. Kimmel’s been circling the drain for years. The Charlie Kirk comments just gave ABC the excuse to flush.
The Bigger Picture
This entire fiasco proves one thing: the left’s reckless rhetoric is finally colliding with reality. When you lie about political violence, people notice. When you mock the murdered, people stop laughing. And when you alienate half the country, eventually even Disney decides you’re too toxic to keep on payroll. Kimmel isn’t a martyr. He’s a liability.

Yay! Sick piece of excrement. I just cannot wait for his beloved son to find out that his daddy is one sorry individual.
Love it!! I guess if you are dropped on your head by your mother as a kid, your brain is never really right. Is that what happened to you Kimmel?
He has always been an arrogant cocky little lying bastard. No loss. They could probably put on reruns of the Mod Squad and get better ratings. Good for the Corporations taking this foul and vile little man off the air.
Congratulations to Disney for doing the right thing. His show was ruthless and inhuman. Miss the greats in late night comedy, Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. They were the best and fun to watch
PERFECT!
I hope when Jimmy Kimmel holds his son and reads him a bedtime story, somewhere, somehow, he will remember the young children of Charlie Kirk’s who don’t have a father to cuddle and read them a story. It is a cold-hearted person that can find joy in a fellow American’s assassination.
All Americans have the right to free speech. It doesn’t matter if you agree with their words, vision, ideas, or not. We all still have the right to voice it. If certain Americans cannot accept that fact, and have open, civilized discussions about our differences…….then I’m afraid we as a society are doomed.
Mr. Carr, you need to start pulling the plug on ALL who continue to spew their hatred over the air! I have been saying for years that the FCC needs to start pulling broadcast licenses!
Fire his ass immediately we don’t want scumbags like him in our country.
Kimmel and Colbert but when will the horrible program known as the View get their plug pulled! We need TV that is either entertaining or informative, NOT a bunch of hacks and hags spouting pure garbage! Here’s hoping that Jimmy Kimmel does move to his newly christened country of Italy! And does so SOON! What a douche bag this moron is! HORRIBLE!! And damn good riddance!
Don’t you worry liberal Marxist, Kimmel will land a job on some woke network so he and his fellow commie Stephen Colbert can have a platform for all of you anti-American communist.
Hey Kimmel, Colbert, I hear that Venezuela is looking for new citizens! It’s right up your ally!!!
If you cannot win with your brain, win with your bullet. That’s the left side of today’s Democrat party, and the rest of the Democrat party does nothing. They live a lie in their climate activism, in their “transgender” ideology, in their pay your fair share, in about every plank of their platform. If you call out their lie, they call you names and then they shoot.
Don’t start a fight with the right. We’re cops and military vets. We’re better armed and better trained, and we’ve been willing to die for something greater than ourselves for most of our adult life.
About time they get rid of the Worthless piece of Shit. Now get rid of All the other pieces of Shit like the Sluts on the View.
