Look who’s finally tasting a spoonful of their own cancel culture stew — none other than Jimmy “I’m still pretending to be funny” Kimmel. After years of wagging his finger at everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders, the late-night comic found himself on the receiving end of a rare bit of accountability. ABC has “indefinitely” pulled his show off the air after remarks that went beyond tone-deaf and wandered straight into outright callousness.
Kimmel, of course, couldn’t resist turning the assassination of Charlie Kirk — a national tragedy, no matter where you stand politically — into yet another opportunity to take potshots at conservatives. During Monday’s taping, he ranted about how the “MAGA gang” was trying to “score political points” by pointing out the very real, very documented ties between suspect Tyler Robinson and left-wing ideology. He labeled it a “new low,” which is rich coming from a guy who once thought blackface was edgy comedy.
Let’s be crystal clear: the prosecutors themselves confirmed in Tuesday’s indictment that yes, Tyler Robinson did indeed have ideological motives. Not some vague, mysterious background. Not some unrelated personal vendetta. Ideological. But Jimmy couldn’t be bothered with facts when there’s a narrative to push. Gotta keep that Resistance crowd clapping, even if it means gaslighting your audience while a family and a movement mourn the loss of someone who was literally gunned down in cold blood.
Enter Nexstar Media Group — a broadcasting heavyweight that apparently decided enough was enough. In a move that surprised almost everyone (mostly because we’re not used to anyone in corporate media growing a spine), Nexstar announced it would be pulling Kimmel’s show from its ABC affiliates “for the foreseeable future.” That means hundreds of stations are swapping out Jimmy’s snarky monologues and awkward chuckles for literally anything else. Honestly, it’s probably an upgrade.
Jimmy Kimmel canceled!
Did you know he falsely said it was a MAGA man who assassinated Charlie Kirk 😳? Check out the clip

WATCH: FCC Chair Brendan Carr hits back at the left’s “free speech” complaints following Jimmy Kimmel getting ripped off air:

Now, is Kimmel being canceled? Some might say yes. But here’s the kicker: this isn’t about old jokes or 2010 tweets. This is about the very real consequences of constantly trying to politicize tragedy while dismissing one side’s pain as illegitimate. For years, conservatives have watched as left-wing figures get away with framing every Republican as a white supremacist, every policy disagreement as hate speech, and every act of violence as somehow our fault — unless, of course, the perpetrator is clearly from their side. Then it’s suddenly “too soon” to talk about ideology, or we’re “politicizing the issue.” It’s a game. And Kimmel got caught playing it at the worst possible moment.
CNN is PISSED that Jimmy Kimmel got canceled 🤣
I’m tagging @CNN so we can all laugh at them together.

If the roles were reversed — if someone like, say, Greg Gutfeld laughed off a prominent progressive being murdered and then accused Democrats of “desperately trying to politicize it” — the media would be apoplectic. There’d be op-eds by the dozen, ad boycotts, and social media campaigns demanding his head on a platter. But since it was a conservative who died, and a leftist who pulled the trigger, the rules are different. Or at least, they were.
Oh wait, they did do that…

When Roseanne Barr was cancelled for speech, they were silent.
They were silent about Piers Morgan, Megyn Kelly, Sharon Osbourne, Tucker Carlson, Chris Harrison & JK Rowling too.
Now the MSM leftists claim to care about cancellation after Jimmy Kimmel.
TOO LATE!
WE SEE YOU! pic.twitter.com/pumN2Ei4rF— Dan Wootton (@danwootton) September 18, 2025
Kimmel’s fall from grace (or at least from the 11:30 PM time slot) is just another symptom of the shifting landscape. The American people — or at least those outside the L.A. and New York echo chambers — are getting tired of the double standards, the moral grandstanding, and the elite smugness masquerading as comedy. Kimmel isn’t edgy or clever. He’s just another late-night mouthpiece reading DNC talking points with a laugh track.
And now, for once, there are consequences.
