ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live “indefinitely” following backlash over the comedian’s comments about the death of Charlie Kirk. In this breaking bonus episode of Daily Comedy News, Johnny Mac unpacks the chaos surrounding Kimmel’s suspension — from Trump’s celebratory Truth Social post to the FCC’s ominous statements and Sinclair’s list of demands. Is this a ratings issue, political retaliation, or outright government censorship? With reactions from Marc Maron, Barack Obama, and more, we explore why this could be a pivotal moment for free speech, late-night comedy, and the media ecosystem itself. The next episode in the feed on Thursday will be a crossover with The Letterman Podcast for deeper analysis. The normal Thursday episode is the episode before this in the feed.
