The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host, 57, was photographed driving from his Los Angeles home to a building complex that is home to multiple legal offices.

Kimmel is reportedly also set to meet with Disney executives to discuss the future of his show, according to Bloomberg News.

Meanwhile, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr has made it clear that this isn’t over.

“I don’t think this is the last shoe to drop,” he said in an interview with Fox News.

“This is a massive shift that’s taking place in the media ecosystem the consequences will continue to flow.”

Carr added that complaints from ABC-affiliate local news stations in Utah and Pennsylvania played a key role in Kimmel’s cancellation and suggested that it could happen again.

“We’re going to back to that era when local TV stations, judging the public interest, get to decide what the American people think,” he said.

Top Democrats have called for Carr’s resignation, but he appears to have the wholehearted support of US President Donald Trump.

Yesterday, Trump called Carr “outstanding”, “a patriot,” and “a tough guy” while speaking with reporters on Air Force One.

He also floated the idea of revoking the licenses of TV networks that air programs “against” him, a decision he said will be “up to” Carr.

“They give me only bad publicity, press. I mean, they’re getting a license … I would think maybe their license should be taken away,” Trump said.

US TV networks do not have to be licensed by the government to operate.

He also claimed that licensed TV networks are “not allowed” to “hit Trump”, calling those “against” him “an arm of the Democrat party”.

Trump also publicly celebrated Kimmel’s axing and called for “losers” Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon to face the same fate.

But a growing number of TV personalities, critics and even a former US president have thrown their support behind Kimmel in the face of his politically charged cancellation.

Former US President Barack Obama wrote on social media: “After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

“This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris called Kimmel’s cancellation an “outright abuse of power”.

“This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats,” she wrote on social media.

“We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech.”

USA Today’s TV Critic Kelly Lawler questioned what Kimmel’s axing could mean for the future of late-night TV in the US.

“How did we get to a place where the president of the United States is potentially influencing who gets to crack what jokes at 11:35 p.m. on weeknights?” she wrote.

“And what does it mean for the ability of comedians and entertainers to exercise their right to free speech and to speak truth to power?”

Kimmel’s show was “indefinitely preempted” by ABC and its affiliates, including Sinclair Broadcast Group, over his comments about Kirk’s death earlier this week.

Now Sinclair has issued a list of “demands” Kimmel must meet if he wants the suspension on his long-running show lifted.

One of the demands is that Kimmel “issue a direct apology to the Kirk family”.

Another would require him to make a “meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA,” Kirk’s nonprofit that advocates conservative politics at schools across the US.
