Key Background<\/h2>\n

Kimmel, like Colbert, has been the target of multiple attacks from Trump amid his own ongoing jabs at the administration, but is the only one of the late night hosts who has been kicked off the air for his rhetoric. Kimmel in September commented about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, specifically poking at Trump’s unsubstantiated claims the person who shot Kirk was the product of the violent \u201cradical left.\u201d Kimmel claimed “the MAGA gang\u201d was \u201cdesperately 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.” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr then criticized Kimmel in an appearance on right-wing commentator Benny Johnson\u2019s podcast, suggesting the FCC could take action against the talk show because it wasn\u2019t operating in the \u201cpublic interest.\u201d Shortly after that threat, Disney-owned ABC said Kimmel’s show would be put on a hiatus “indefinitely.” The president cheered Kimmel being taken off air in a post on Truth Social: \u201cThe ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that\u2019s possible.\u201d The White House\u2019s Rapid Response X account tweeted: \u201cThey’re doing their viewers a favor. Jimmy is a sick freak!\u201d ABC brought the show back after one week after backlash from both sides of the aisle in an ensuing debate over free speech, corporate compliance and government regulation. <\/p>\n

Tangent <\/h2>\n

Trump is once again targeting Kimmel after a joke he made days before a shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner. In his April 23 monologue, Kimmel included a line describing First Lady Melania Trump as having \u201ca glow like an expectant widow.\u201d Two nights later, a shooter attempted to attack the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner and Melania Trump joined with her husband in calling for Kimmel\u2019s firing and right-wing commentators and influencers said Kimmel\u2019s joke enticed violence. The host responded to the claims during a later show, acknowledging the shooting was upsetting but pointing out his own history of advocating for gun control. <\/p>\n
