Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled from the air - and Hollywood has a lot to say about it! If you missed it, in a shocking announcement, ABC confirmed Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show would be put on hiatus "indefinitely" beginning on Wednesday. Their decision came shortly after distributor Nexstar said it "strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets."

It would put them in 80% of the country's TV-owning households. But the acquisition requires final approval from Donald Trump's controlled Federal Communications Commission. FCC Chair Brendan Carr has already praised Nextar for putting pressure on ABC, noting on X (Twitter) that "it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values." What did Jimmy say to cause all this?? In Monday's opening monologue, he discussed Charlie Kirk's murder, saying: "The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving." He made other critical comments about conservative politicians' reaction to the death in his Tuesday show, as well. And then he was dramatically silenced. While the talk show host - who had kind words to offer Kirk's family after his loss, by the way - has yet to comment on the shocking turn of events, many of his fellow comedians, actors, and others in Hollywood and beyond are speaking out! In an Instagram video, Wanda Sykes remarked: "Let's see. He didn't end the Ukraine war or solve Gaza within his first week. But he did end freedom of speech within his first year. Hey, for those of you who pray, now's the time to do it. Love you, Jimmy."

If you're a comedian + don't call out the insanity of pulling Kimmel off the air - don't bother spouting off about free speech anymore."

Megyn Kelly: "Just think for a minute about the amount of IRATE mail/viewer feedback they must have gotten to do this." Chris Hayes: "This is the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I've ever seen in my life and it's not even close." Ben Stiller: "This isn't right." Sophia Bush: "The First Amendment doesn't exist in America anymore. Period. Fascism is here and it's chilling." Alex Edelman: "This is the actual cancel culture everyone claims to hate so much." Kathy Griffin: "Please, take it from me, it is very important to have Jimmy Kimmel's back right now. Be vocal. Be an ideological consumer. Money is all their crown cares about." Jean Smart: "I am horrified at the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live. What Jimmy said was FREE speech, not hate speech. People seem to only want to protect free speech when it suits THEIR agenda. Though I didn't agree at ALL with Charlie Kirk; his shooting death sickened me; and should have sickened any decent human being. What is happening to our country?" Don Lemon: "The Jimmy Kimmel Live! show has been preempted indefinitely over a joke. This should send a chill down everyone's spine in America!" Henry Winkler: "@jimmykimmel his humor, his insights are important to keep showing us who we are . AND he is a most wonderful fellow." Geraldo Rivera: "Regarding Jimmy Kimmel, censorship sucks, but so does inflaming hatred. America's in a tight spot right now. We don't have to agree, but we have to respect each other." Josh Gad: "I see we are at the passive participation of authoritarianism now. God help us all." Alison Brie: "This is unreal. And very scary." Halsey: "we're in the 'tell on your friends and neighbors', 'extreme censorship', 'indistinguishable propaganda' part of the fascism, in case it wasn't clear." Christie Brinkley shared a photo of all the top late night hosts, including John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert (whose show was also canceled), and Jimmy Fallon, saying: "Love these guys ! The laughter they provide us is as important as the air we breath! And they are taking another one of them off the air tonight! WE MUST PROTECT their and OUR 1st Anendnent [sic] RIGHTS!!!!"
