Disney’s ABC said Wednesday it has pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air “indefinitely” following the late-night host’s comments Monday about the motivations of the man who authorities say fatally shot conservative activist Charlie Kirk. During his monologue Monday night, Kimmel criticized Republicans for how they responded to Kirk’s killing.

Longtime Marvel star Mark Ruffalo is sharing his thoughts on ABC pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air. In a post to Threads, Ruffalo re-shared a report claiming Disney’s stock dropped 7% after ABC pre-empted “Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Kimmel faced backlash after he said Monday night that the “MAGA gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s murder after the right-wing influencer was shot dead on the campus of Utah

Sources told the Daily Mail that the comedian is eager to “break his relationship with [the network] forever” after his talk show was suspended indefinitely.

SAG-AFTRA also released a statement following the news, noting, "The decision to suspend airing 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' is the type of suppression and retaliation that endangers everyone’s freedoms."

Kimmel's removal sparked outrage from Democrats and free speech advocates, who argued that the comedian was being unfairly punished for speech that the administration disliked. The aftermath of Kirk's killing has sparked a wider debate over the limits of free speech and when companies can or should take action against employees.

The internet was already lighting up with users sharing screenshots of canceled subscriptions to Disney-owned streaming services or canceled vacations at Disney properties.
