Jimmy Kimmel Reacts Strongly to ABC's Decision; Already Making New Job Moves

Jimmy Kimmel, 57, is reportedly upset with ABC's decision to suspend his late-night talk show due to his controversial remarks about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The network announced on Wednesday that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be taken off air "for the foreseeable future" after Kimmel made comments about murder suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, implying he was conservative.

A source shared that Kimmel is angry about the suspension and is exploring ways to end his contract with ABC. The insider mentioned that Kimmel is considering severing ties with ABC for good.

Kimmel's colleague Stephen Colbert, whose show was canceled in July and will end in May 2026, is interested in having Kimmel as a guest on his show. Both hosts share opposition to the Trump administration and are motivated to speak their minds.

Investigators revealed that the alleged shooter, Robinson, held left-wing beliefs and was in a relationship with a transgender person. Kimmel's unverified claim that Robinson supported the MAGA movement drew criticism from FCC's Brendan Carr, who hinted at a possible investigation into Kimmel and ABC.

During his Monday night monologue, Kimmel criticized attempts to distance the shooter from the political group he supported. Carr expressed concerns about Kimmel's conduct and the potential FCC involvement in addressing related claims.
