Protesters have gathered outside the Jimmy Kimmel Live! studio after news broke that the late-night show had been postponed indefinitely. Us Weekly confirmed on Wednesday, September 17, that Jimmy Kimmel's eponymous show had been taken off the air following comments the host had made about conservative political activist Charlie Kirk's death. "Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely," an ABC spokesperson confirmed to Us. Local news outlet NBCLA captured footage of protesters standing outside of Kimmel's studio Wednesday evening. The small group held up posters about President Donald Trump while chanting to passerby.

The talk show host appeared to keep a low-profile by wearing a baseball cap as he got into the car. Kimmel has yet to speak publicly about his show being taken off the air. However, comedian Wanda Sykes addressed the controversy via Instagram, revealing that she was supposed to be a guest on the show Wednesday night. "I'm in a full face of makeup because I was supposed to go over and have a chat with my friend Jimmy Kimmel on his show," she said. "But as you have heard by now, Jimmy Kimmel's show has been pulled indefinitely, abruptly, because of complaints from the Trump administration." Sykes, 61, concluded, "For those of you who pray, now's the time to do it. Love you, Jimmy." Kirk was shot and killed at age 31 on September 10 during an event at Utah Valley University. Kimmel made comments about Tyler Robinson, who has been arrested and charged in Kirk's death, during the Monday, September 15, broadcast. "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them with everything they can to score political points from," Kimmel said. "In between the finger pointing, there was grieving." SAG-AFTRA and WGA Condemn ABC Over Jimmy Kimmel Live! Suspension The host also discussed how President Trump, 79, is taking the news about Kirk's death "hard." He then aired a clip of the president being asked about coping following Kirk's death. Trump discussed the construction in the White House ballroom as a response. "He's at the fourth stage of grief, construction," Kimmel added. "It's demolition, construction." He continued, "This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish." Prior to ABC's move to take Kimmel off the air, Nexstar Media, which owns multiple TV stations, reportedly threatened to remove Jimmy Kimmel Live from its lineup. THe company "strongly" objected to the "recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk," they told Variety in a statement.
