We're gonna dive straight in with our main story tonight
concerning the fact that on Wednesday, this happened.
ELIZABETH SCHULZE: Overnight, ABC pulling late-night talk show host
Jimmy Kimmel off the air, hours after a threat
from the head of the Federal Communications Commission.
Brendan Carr called for Kimmel's suspension
over comments earlier this week on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
about conservative influencer Charlie Kirk's death.
ABC pulling the plug.
A spokesperson for the network saying,
"Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be preempted indefinitely."
President Trump weighing in,
calling the decision "great news for America."
Yeah, ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel's show indefinitely
and the president apparently thinks
it's "great news for America,"
which is just a weird response to have.
Not, to be fair, the weirdest response
he had to anything this week,
given that he described his dinner with the royals
by saying he ate, and I quote,
"whatever the hell they served us..."
But still pretty fucking weird.
And look, Kimmel is now one of many
who faced consequences for comments
in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder
11 days ago, with workers being fired
or placed on leave over posts about him.
And very quickly,
I was honestly inclined to wait to engage
with the back and forth over who Charlie Kirk was
and what his legacy will be, at least in part
because we're taping this on Saturday,
his funeral hasn't even taken place yet.
What I will say is a person getting shot is tragic
and a person getting shot for their ideas is horrifying.
That is true, no matter what those ideas are.
And I also recognize that for many,
especially those who were the targets
of some of Kirk's ideas,
it has been hard to stay quiet,
as they see flags lowered to half-staff,
and hear claims that he debated things the right way.
But setting all of that aside,
it does seem like some are now willing
to weaponize Kirk's death to do things
they've been wanting to do for years,
whether it's going after liberal groups, trans people,
or their remaining critics in the media,
and under some shamelessly flimsy pretext,
all of which brings us back to Jimmy Kimmel.
Because look, it is not news that the administration
have been wanting to get rid of shows like his.
In fact, it's such an open secret that last Sunday,
when we won an Emmy for writing,
one of our writers opened his thank you speech
with a line that was followed by a camera cutaway
that now feels pretty prescient.
Thank you so much. We share this category.
We are honored to share it with all writers
of late-night political comedy,
while that is still a type of show
that's allowed to exist.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
(STUDIO AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
Well, yes.
Yeah, that is pretty eerie.
Now, obviously, our writer Daniel
-did not know the future. -(LAUGHTER)
On some level, that is just a coincidence,
like when a young Shirley Temple accepted an Oscar
in 1935 by saying, "Thank you very much for this.
On January 28th 1986,
the spaceship Challenger will suffer a catastrophic failure,
killing seven people."
You know, kind of spooky stuff.
But it's not just a coincidence
because everyone knew the administration
had it in for Kimmel. Even Daniel knew that.
And to be honest, he doesn't know a ton of stuff.
(LAUGHTER)
Two weeks ago, he was arguing that Alfred Molina
is more famous than Bad Bunny.
He's a very good writer,
but he's wrong about a lot of things.
And for what it's worth,
he will never be speaking publicly
-on our behalf ever again. -(LAUGHTER)
Because we're now terrified he's gonna drop
another fucked up fortune cookie.
But the pretext that's been used to indefinitely suspend
Kimmel's show is just laughably weak,
because while you may have seen headlines
saying he got in trouble for remarks about Charlie Kirk himself
or even remarks about his death,
that's not strictly accurate.
The comments that got him in trouble weren't about Kirk.
In fact, Kimmel's first comments after his murder
were a post reading...
What got Kimmel in trouble
was a passing reference on Monday night.
Now, at the time there were still rumors
flying around regarding the killer's motivations,
including that he was on the far right,
something that Kimmel alluded to like this.
We hit some new lows over the weekend
with the MAGA gang desperately trying
to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk
as anything other than one of them
and doing everything they can
to score political points from it.
Yeah, that was it.
Weirdly, I was actually a guest on his show that night.
And I didn't even register that comment,
and that's only partly because
I wasn't really paying attention.
-(LAUGHTER) -And I'm not alone in that.
After Kimmel's suspension, many struggled to pick
the offensive line out of his monologue,
as YouTube is filled with comments
under the video like...
And one viewer from the Netherlands saying...
(IN DUTCH ACCENT)
(LAUGHTER)
The point is...
Kimmel didn't denigrate Charlie Kirk
or make light of his killing.
The worst thing you could say
is that he appears to have been wrong
about the shooter's ideology, which, okay.
But he was also pointing out that many on the right
seem desperate to weaponize Kirk's death,
