President Donald Trump is having a field day celebrating the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show.
The late-night host recently made some remarks, deemed controversial, about Charlie Kirk’s shooter, and as a result, his show was pulled by ABC.
Trump recently celebrated Stephen Colbert’s canceled show, and in the aftermath of Jimmy Kimmel’s downfall, he has vowed that Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon will be canceled, too.
Donald Trump Called The Jimmy Kimmel Show ‘Ratings Challenged’

After Jimmy Kimmel’s show got booted, Donald Trump didn’t hold back on letting the world know how excited he was. He shared a post on Truth Social celebrating the TV personality’s downfall.
“Great news for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done,” the president wrote.
Trump went further to mock the 57-year-old TV host, writing that he has “ZERO” talent. He added that Kimmel’s show has worse ratings than Stephen Colbert’s, who also happens to be another enemy of his.
Next, Trump urged the network to pull Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers’ shows, writing, “That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT!”
Jimmy Kimmel’s Controversial Remarks About Charlie Kirk’s Death Got Him Canceled

The drama surrounding Kimmel’s show began on Monday night, when he delivered his monologue during the show.
He reflected on the suspected shooter who took the political activist’s life, saying, “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.”
Afterwards, the chief of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Brendan Carr, began to consider disciplinary action against Kimmel on the grounds that he found his statement disturbing. He also called Kimmel’s actions one of the “sickest conduct possible,” per The Blast.
Kimmel continued to receive backlash from all sides as the media company, Nexstar, also pulled his show from its 200 stations countrywide.
Nexstar released a statement saying that the Jimmy Kimmel show will be preempted “for the foreseeable future” because the company “strongly objects” to the comments Kimmel made regarding Kirk’s death.
Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, also condemned Kimmel’s statements, saying that they were “offensive” and “insensitive.” He also added that the TV host’s comments did not align with the values of the company and the communities it serves.
Donald Trump Recently Mocked Stephen Colbert When His Show Got Cancelled And Predicted The Same For Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel is not the only TV host who has gotten on the bad side of the president.
Last month, The Blast reported that Trump got a kick out of Colbert’s canceled show. He took to his Truth Social platform to share his joy, writing that he “absolutely” loved that the talk show host got fired.
“I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next,” he added.
Coincidentally, Colbert made some connections about Trump’s health and links to the Jeffrey Epstein case on the same day his show got booted.
Jimmy Kimmel Was Reportedly Considering Relocating Amid Donald Trump’s ‘Unbelievable’ Administration

Meanwhile, Kimmel has also not been Trump’s biggest fan.
He was reportedly considering the possibility of relocating should the president’s rule become too unbearable.
According to The Blast, Kimmel revealed that he has dual citizenship, saying, “I did get Italian citizenship, I do have that. What’s going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be. It’s so much worse, it’s just unbelievable."

While Donald Trump continues to celebrate Kimmel’s downfall, the majority of fans think otherwise.
Fans online sided with the TV star and called on the ABC Entertainment President Craig Erwich to reinstate Kimmel’s show.
One fan noted that Nexstar has been looking for a reason to let Kimmel go, writing that they just found a “great reason” to pull the plug, as reported by The Blast.
Another fan argued that removing Kimmel’s show was trampling on the right to free speech in America. “I stand with Jimmy Kimmel and the First Amendment," one wrote.
“This is absolutely ridiculous. No more Free Speech in Trump’s America?” another added.
