Jimmy Kimmel chokes up as he explains comments about alleged Charlie Kirk assassin

Jimmy Kimmel grew emotional on Tuesday as he discussed the remarks he made that ultimately led to a brief suspension from Disney.

One of the most shocking moments of 2025 came in September when Disney announced that ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" would be preempted "indefinitely," in what turned out to be a short-lived benching.

On the heels of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, host Jimmy Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" for allegedly trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson — even though prosecutors later reaffirmed those ties in an indictment.

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.

Appearing the next day on journalist Benny Johnson's "The Benny Show," Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr called Kimmel's comments "some of the sickest conduct" and suggested there were potential "avenues" the FCC could pursue.

"Look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way," Carr said at the time. "These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or, you know, there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."

Carr’s comments were denounced by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, but a statement from Disney led many Americans to believe Kimmel’s time at the Mouse House was over.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live will be preempted indefinitely," a Disney spokesperson said in a vague statement.
