ABC has pulled late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off air indefinitely over comments he made about the shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” a spokesperson for the Disney-owned network said in a statement.
Earlier this week, Kimmel said during his show that the “Maga gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s killing.
Kimmel did not comment to the BBC as he emerged shortly after the announcement from the television studio in Los Angeles.
