Charlie Tuggle Professor at the UNC Huffman School of Journalism

Jimmy Kimmel’s television future is hanging in the balance after ABC suspended his late-night show following the host’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s killing. The comments prompted dozens of stations to say they wouldn’t air the show, a move that was cheered on by a top federal regulator. The veteran late-night comic made several remarks on Monday and Tuesday about the reaction to the conservative activist’s assassination, including saying that “many in MAGA land" were working to capitalize on Kirk's killing. Charlie Tuggle of the UNC Huffman School of Journalism joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the fallout of Kimmel’s controversial removal.
