President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly pressured broadcasters to stop airing content he has found objectionable, celebrated the news in a social media post. Kimmel, who has frequently targeted Trump on his late-night comedy show, drew fire for remarks he made about the killing in his monologue on Monday. Kimmel’s comments led to a response from Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, who urged local broadcasters to stop airing Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC. “‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ will be preempted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson said, without elaborating. Sinclair called on Kimmel to apologise and said it would air a tribute to Kirk in Kimmel’s time slot on Friday.
