„The View“ co-hosts did not address ABC pulling „Jimmy Kimmel Live!“ after the late-night host’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter made headlines.
ABC’s „The View“ co-hosts skipped the news Thursday that network colleague Jimmy Kimmel’s show had been pulled from the air the day before.
„The View“, which operates under ABC’s news division, did not discuss the Disney-owned network pulling „Jimmy Kimmel Live!“, a story that broke the night before, dominating news coverage and prompting outrage from liberals.
Kimmel’s show was pulled after the liberal late-night host suggested Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter was part of the „MAGA gang“, sparking criticism from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and two major ABC affiliate owners to yank the program.
The co-hosts typically provide commentary on major headlines and news at the start of the show for segments they call „Hot Topics.“ They were outspoken about the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s CBS program „The Late Show“ in July.
