Disney's ABC said "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" will be "pre-empted indefinitely," a spokesperson confirmed to NBC News, after the late night host's Monday monologue about conservative activist Charlie Kirk.Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, was giving a presentation at Utah Valley University when he was fatally shot last week.During his monologue Monday, Kimmel raised the possibility that the alleged assassin Tyler Robinson might have been a pro-Trump Republican.
The levels of victimhood and self-martyrdom by Kimmel for this will eclipse Colbert's cancelling.
Now do the View, ABC!
Extra - Breitbart: "Gutfeld: Kimmel is done for calling 'kid who murdered Charlie Kirk' MAGA." Wow, he totally called it a couple hours before it was announced.
More - It looks like Nexstar Media told ABC they refused to broadcast Kimmel's show on their affiliates and the network pulled the show.
Prediction - This is my opinion: Kimmel is done. He won't be back because any kind of return would involve 1) admitting he was wrong and/or 2) bowing to the network's pressure. His ego won't allow it.

The good news is he can expect a charity Emmy next year, like Colbert.
Exactly right: the Pity Award.
