When does Jimmy Kimmel's show go live again?

American TV host Jimmy Kimmel faces strict conditions to resume broadcasting following the Charlie Kirk controversy.

The 57-year-old comedian’s long-running show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, was suspended by ABC, while Sinclair, the largest ABC affiliate group in the US, set firm requirements for its return.

According to People Magazine, Sinclair stated it “objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk” and has decided to “indefinitely preempt” the programme.

The suspension came after Kimmel’s remarks about the alleged perpetrator of Kirk’s death, prompting FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to call on ABC to take action.

Vice Chairman Jason Smith described his comments as “inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country.”

Moreover, Smith stressed that broadcasters have a responsibility to promote “respectful, constructive dialogue.”

Sinclair insists the late-night host must apologise to the Kirk family and make a “meaningful personal donation” to them and his organisation.

They emphasised that, “regardless of ABC’s plans,” they will not air the show until they are satisfied with his accountability.

Furthermore, Nexstar Media, the nation’s largest local broadcast company, confirmed it will also replace the show across its ABC affiliates, stating that continuing the programme “is simply not in the public interest at the current time.”
