Jimmy Kimmel Cancellation. How to Boycott ABC Disney Now Trending

ABC announced Wednesday evening that it has suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely following backlash over comments host Jimmy Kimmel  made about the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The decision came hours after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr publicly criticized Kimmel’s remarks and suggested regulatory consequences. The move also coincides with Nexstar Media Group’s pending $6.2 billion merger with Tegna, which is subject to FCC approval—raising questions about whether corporate and regulatory pressures influenced the network’s response.

The suspension came amid calls from Carr for broadcasters to take action against what he called “garbage,” and was swiftly praised by President Donald Trump. Now, major Hollywood unions and progressive groups are pushing back, accusing ABC and its affiliates of censorship and demanding a boycott of Disney properties.
