2:09Now PlayingDisney is pulling "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" "indefinitely," the company confirmed to Fox News Digital. "Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely," the spokesperson said.
The move comes after Kimmel made comments about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk on his show on Monday night.
"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," Kimmel said.
The move by Disney and ABC follows a similar decision from Nexstar Media Group, which owns hundreds of television stations. It announced earlier it would preempt Kimmel's show starting Wednesday night "for the foreseeable future" and would replace it with other programming.
"Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located," Nexstar's broadcasting chief Andrew Alford said in a press release.
