ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show off the air indefinitely on Wednesday after the host said the “MAGA gang” aimed to score political points from conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Nexstar said Wednesday that its “owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ for the foreseeable future, beginning with tonight’s show.”

Kimmel made the remarks in his Monday night monologue. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel said.
