Jimmy Kimmel is “extremely angry” over ABC’s choice to cancel his late-night show after he faced backlash for comments he made about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassination plot, as reported by a new source.

The 57-year-old host is “furious” about the network’s decision to suspend him and pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live” from the lineup indefinitely. This action followed his controversial remarks about Kirk during his monologue on the Monday night episode.

“Absolutely furious,” one producer mentioned about Kimmel’s reaction to the news. The late-night host is currently in discussions with the network, according to a report by the Daily Mail.

“This is clearly the government overreaching. There’s no such thing as free speech in America, if the government can lean on companies to stop any content they don’t like.”

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 Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Sept. 10 by 22-year-old gunman Tyler Robinson.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel said during his monologue.

Nexstar Media Group, the major broadcast company that serves as a primary affiliate for ABC, confirmed that it would “preempt” Kimmel’s program in the wake of his remarks.

Sources told the outlet that the network’s decision is the “last straw” and Kimmel is looking to end his relationship with ABC.

President Trump, however, appeared to dance on Kimmel’s late-night grave shortly after the news broke.

“Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED,” Trump posted on Truth Social around 8 p.m. ET — which is 2 a.m. in England, where he was having a state visit with King Charles and other UK leaders.

“Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT
