ABC Suspends Kimmel ‘Indefinitely’ | CNN2.0

🔥 ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live “indefinitely” after his Monday monologue line about the Kirk suspect, as a source says the show isn’t canceled but has no return timeline yet amid political backlash.
⚖️ The FCC chair publicly floated “remedies,” saying companies can change conduct “the easy way or the hard way,” while affiliates Nexstar and Sinclair moved to preempt Kimmel as they seek approval to buy Tegna.
🏛️ President Trump celebrated the move and urged NBC to drop other late‑night hosts, intensifying scrutiny of regulatory pressure intersecting with broadcast licensing and consolidation.
🎙️ Hollywood and media voices note Kimmel’s long role in ABC’s lineup as the network faces criticism for “capitulation,” with fans awaiting Kimmel’s first statement and potential next steps.
🎭 Wanda Sykes and analysts frame the fight as a free‑speech flashpoint for comedy, arguing the controversy was manufactured as part of a broader push to control media.
