And by cancelled we mean "suspended indefinitely" and by Trump we mean the Powers That Be at Nexstar Media Group, who threatened to preempt JKL from here on in, with Bob Iger/Disney-owned ABC network, rushing to say they would suspend Kimmel.
Jimmy Kimmel's show pulled 'indefinitely' by ABC after Charlie Kirk remarks
I am the Dictator, so I get what I want!!!
(CNN) Sept. 17, 2025: Disney’s ABC is taking Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night comedy talk show off the air immediately and indefinitely amid an exaggerated controversy over his recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer. “Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson said, declining to share any further details. #CNN #News
Billionaire Trump has a lot of rich friends trying to get richer. And one great way to do that is to kiss up to the Orange King.
The biting satire of Kimmel every night gets under Donald's skin worse than Stephen Colbert used to.
First they came for me. I fell.
So he had to go, and brownnosers trying to sidle up to Trump have always been looking for a way. One finally found one when, returning from summer break, Kimmel dared to comment on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, daring to suggest that the real killer was "one of them" (a right winger MAGA Trump fan) not a person on the Left. This was enough to seize on.
And the head of an owner-operator [CEO Perry Sook or COO Michael Biard] said Jimmy Kimmel Live would be preempted instead of appearing on their network (Nexstar Media Group) of affiliated stations under the control of the kisser-upper. And when the money stream is threatened, Disney pays attention.
Wow, ouch, maybe I should shush
Kimmel is now "suspended indefinitely," which with no unsuspension date really means cancelled, fired, dropped, banned, censored, terminated, destroyed... What will right wing best friend comedian Adam Corolla have to say about this, torn between friendship and his severely right-wing pro-Israel (pro-Praeger U) politics.
REASON TO KISS UP: It seems Nexstar was seeking an approval for a $6.2 billion merger, awaiting federal and/or Trump administration approval.
There has been NO public meltdown (yet).
So as to curry favor with Trump, who is currently having his English muffin kissed in England by British royalty, Nexstar thought it was advantageous to get Kimmel out of Trump's hair. Disney/ABC caught on and saved Nexstar the trouble of changing its programming. Now, currently in Hollywood near Grauman's Chinese Theater, where Kimmel filmed his show, the building is being locked down so none of the hundreds of workers on the show get in.
