Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been taken off the air by ABC, following backlash over host Jimmy Kimmel's recent remarks about the late Charlie Kirk. "Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely," an ABC spokesperson confirmed to Us Weekly on Wednesday, September 17. Variety previously reported on Wednesday that Disney's ABC decided to remove the late night talk show from the network "indefinitely" after Nexstar Media reportedly threatened to eliminate the show from its lineup.
