Jimmy Fallon dropped out of a scheduled NYC conference appearance following Jimmy Kimmel’s show suspension after his Charlie Kirk comments
Jimmy Fallon will no longer be making a scheduled appearance on Thursday, September 18, amid the fallout from fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel‘s show being suspended indefinitely.
“Unfortunately, Jimmy Fallon is no longer able to attend today’s session,” the Fast Company Innovation Festival said in a statement on Thursday, per Deadline.
Fallon, 50, and Bozoma St. John were scheduled to talk about his new NBC series On Brand. Representatives for the festival told a Deadline reporter that there would be no further comment on the situation.
Fallon’s exit from the event comes just one day after news broke that Kimmel would be taken off air after his comments about Charlie Kirk.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson confirmed to Us Weekly on Wednesday, September 17.
