Hollywood stars erupt with outrage after ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel off air
NBC ^ | 9/18/25 | Patrick Smith

Hollywood stars, unions and fans have criticized Disney's ABC for indefinitely pulling "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air after pressure from the Federal Communications Commission over his comments about the death of Charlie Kirk.

Kimmel criticized Republicans and the MAGA movement in his monologue Monday night and ABC announced it was axing the show Wednesday, hours after FCC chair Brendan Carr threatened to “take action.”

The move drew praise from President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans. But Hollywood, where Kimmel is popular as a frequent host of the Oscars and Emmys, leapt to to his defense.

FAKE news from NBC. Sinclair pulled Kimmel from their stations, ABC had no choice but to can the show.

Do we really need Hollywood? We can get less political indoctrination from overseas producers, who are making money, not selling politics. In fact, we have so many forms of entertainment; do we really need Hollywood at all?

They don’t understand the community standards needed for FCC use of the limited public airwaves.

Good.

There are no Hollywood “Stars”. That’s as obsolete as buggy whips, VCRs, and sane Democrats.

Anything that gets “Hollywood stars” outraged tends to be a good thing for regular Americans.

If these guys were popular they wouldn’t have gotten cancelled. I’m sure the Jimmy show was a big money pit just like Colbert’s show. Networks are happy to get rid of them

It’s a good start.

Now look into the biased fake “reporters” on ABC.

Is cancel culture being replaced with consequence culture?

Love the sound of entitled elitist snob outrage in the morning.

Hollywood stars should do a fundraiser to help Jimmy Kimmel maintain his lifestyle.

All he needs is $307,692 per week.
Would you donate to help out this unemployed liberal man?

The current company is nothing like the Disney that Walt built, that is certain.

Good! We’re winning. The Hollowoody Stars need to knock off the refried beans. All that “erupting” is going to kill us. Go have another useless award show. That will help mellow you out.

If this clown gets on the air again, the FCC’s Equal Time Rule should demand that his first 178 guests be Republicans, as he had that many Democrat guests with 1 Republican guest during his tenure at ABC.

The crap they are dumping in the theaters lately demonstrates we really don’t need a Hollywood.

Looks like Sinclair has given Kimmel a way back in (hope not):

From NY Post this morning:

Local TV giant Sinclair demands Jimmy Kimmel make ‘direct apology’ to Charlie Kirk’s family, donate to TPUSA

"Sinclair Broadcasting said ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel was insufficient, announcing it will yank “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from its stations until the host apologizes directly to Charlie Kirk’s family and donates to his political activist group."
