Broadcasting company Sinclair, Inc. said on Sept. 22 that it would hold off airing comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show amid ongoing controversy over his remarks about conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
“Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate news stations and replacing it with news programming,” Sinclair said in a post to social media. “Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return.”
