Hollywood and Unions Erupt After ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off the Air

Hollywood stars, unions, and fans erupted in outrage after ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air following FCC pressure over Kimmel’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s death. The suspension drew praise from President Trump and his allies, but sparked fierce backlash in Hollywood, where Kimmel is a longtime Oscars and Emmys host. Protests erupted outside Disney Studios as entertainers and unions condemned the move as an attack on free speech, while political leaders split sharply over the decision.
