NEW YORK — ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show off the air, indefinitely — an unprecedented move that followed backlash from affiliated broadcasters and the head of the Federal Communications Commission over the comic’s remarks after last week’s killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Kimmel’s comments did not extensively focus on Kirk, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump.
