Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be suspended ‘indefinitely’ after comments he made about the killing of Charlie Kirk, ABC has announced, hours after the Trump-appointed chair of the US broadcasting regulator threatened broadcasters’ licences if action was not taken against the late-night host. ABC, which has aired Kimmel’s late-night show since 2003, moved swiftly after the Nexstar group said it would pull the show, starting from Wednesday. Kimmel’s comments about Kirk’s death ‘are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse’, said Andrew Alford, the president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division. Nexstar operates 23 ABC affiliates
