FCC Chair Brendan Carr warned affiliates about possible fines, and Nexstar Media Group quickly announced its stations would replace the program.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"486\" data-end=\"863\">The move set off a storm in Hollywood. Wanda Sykes revealed she had been scheduled to appear the night the show was canceled, blasting Trump for \u201cending freedom of speech within his first year.\u201d Ben Stiller called the suspension \u201cnot right,\u201d while Jamie Lee Curtis reposted Kimmel\u2019s past defense of not canceling anyone, adding her own reflections on Kirk\u2019s faith and family.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"1247\">Other stars spoke out too: comedian Mike Birbiglia, who once filled in for Kimmel, said silencing him undercut the principle of free speech; Christie Brinkley described Kimmel\u2019s show as vital to American laughter; and Sophia Bush declared the decision proof that \u201cfascism is here.\u201d Even journalist Megyn Kelly remarked on the overwhelming backlash that affiliates must have faced.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1650\">Meanwhile, Trump cheered from the U.K., calling Kimmel \u201cratings challenged\u201d and urging networks to cut other late-night hosts as well. The clash highlights not only the divisive reactions to Kirk\u2019s murder but also the fragile line between entertainment, politics, and free expression. For now, Kimmel\u2019s future on ABC affiliates remains uncertain\u2014while the free speech debate shows no sign of fading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live!
