Actor Jason Bateman said his friend Jimmy Kimmel being taken off the air over his comments about Charlie Kirk’s death is “troubling to say the least.”

The Ozark star, 56, spoke on the Today show about ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely” after the 57-year-old claimed MAGA is capitalizing on the death of Kirk “to score political points.”

“Well, it’s troubling to say the least,” Bateman told host Craig Melvin. “And we all have to really take a moment and figure out how we feel about this type of thing.”

ABC pulled Kimmel off the air after Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr threatened its broadcasting license amid a MAGA backlash. Speaking to conservative podcast host Benny Johnson, the Trump appointee said, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.”
