Moment Jimmy Kimmel makes Charlie Kirk comments that see him ‘indefinitely’ taken off air – video

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.

Nexstar operates 23 ABC affiliates
