ABC has yanked late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel off the air indefinitely after his pointed remarks about the shooting of right-wing figure Charlie Kirk ignited a political firestorm.
The Disney-owned network confirmed in a statement that will be pre-empted indefinitely, but the host himself has remained silent.
The controversy erupted following Kimmel's Monday night monologue, where he accused the Maga gang of exploiting Kirk's killing for political gain, as per the BBC . He went further, mocking US President Donald Trump's response to the tragedy: This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.
