The move came after the Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, condemned Kimmel's comments about the shooting suspect during his Monday night monologue. Following the monologue, Carr said ABC affiliates should push back on Comcast. Here were Kimmel's comments: "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 and doing everything they can to score political points from it." Leno further told reporters on Thursday what he predicts will happen to Kimmel. "I think Jimmy will land on his feet. He's a talented guy. He's funny. And let's see what happens," he said. "Maybe he might be on in just a couple of weeks again. So, we'll see." Numerous other celebrities like Pedro Pascal, Adam Scott, Jean Smart, late night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert and politicians Gavin Newsom and Barack Obama have spoken out in support of Kimmel following his suspension.
