ABC has suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after his remarks on the killing of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. Kimmel accused the “Maga gang” of using the tragedy for political gain, drawing strong backlash. Donald Trump welcomed the suspension, calling it “great news for America.” Nexstar and Sinclair, two major broadcasters, also dropped his show. Hollywood figures like Ben Stiller, Jamie Lee Curtis, and John Legend condemned the move as censorship. Fans outside the studio called it unfair. The Writers Guild of America said the suspension violated free speech. ABC said Kimmel had not been fired but benched indefinitely. (PC: BBC)
