5:42Now PlayingLBC’s Benji Hyer breaks down how Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended after pressure from the Trump administration - as it happened.
A spokesperson for the Disney-owned network revealed the show would be "pre-empted indefinitely" following remarks made on a broadcast earlier this week.
During his opening monologue on Monday, Kimmel said the "MAGA gang" was trying to score political points from Kirk's killing.
"The Maga Gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," he said.
Tyler Robinson, 22, appeared in court on Tuesday charged with aggravated murder over last week's shooting of the 31-year-old political activist.
Kimmel, 57, also compared Donald Trump's reaction to the shooting to "how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish".
