Hollywood legend Ben Stiller has waded into the storm surrounding Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s talk show being suspended.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The decision came following the talk show host’s comments regarding\u00a0Charlie Kirk<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>, with many\u00a0taking issue\u00a0<\/a>with what he said on his show,\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em><\/p>\n

In the opening monologue,\u00a0Kimmel<\/a>\u00a0referred to the killing of the 31-year-old podcaster, who was fatally shot in the neck while speaking at a college debate in Utah on September 10.<\/p>\n

The suspected shooter,\u00a0Tyler Robinson<\/a>, was apprehended by police two days after and\u00a0has been charged with seven counts\u00a0<\/a>in connection with Kirk’s death.<\/p>\n

Kimmel also spoke about Trump and showed a clip of the President talking to reporters outside the White House, where he was asked how he was doing in the wake of Kirk’s death, to which he responded: “I think very good.”<\/p>\n

Trump then went on to talk about\u00a0the White House’s reconstruction of their ballroom<\/a>, as Kimmel joked: \u201cYes, he\u2019s at the fourth stage of grief, construction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDemolition, construction,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

He also discussed Robinson, as he said: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”<\/p>\n

Following his comments, an ABC spokesperson said in a statement: “Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nextstar Media, which is affiliated with ABC, also said they wouldn’t air\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em>\u00a0‘for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show’.<\/p>\n

The president of Nexstar’s broadcast division, Andrew Alford, also called the host’s comments ‘offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse’.<\/p>\n

The decision has received mixed opinions online, and\u00a0a few celebrities\u00a0<\/a>have offered their opinion on the matter, including Stiller, who cut straight to the point, saying on\u00a0X<\/a>: \u201cThis isn\u2019t right.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Tropic Thunder<\/em>\u00a0star isn’t the only one, as former President\u00a0Barack Obama<\/a>\u00a0also gave his thoughts on\u00a0social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn\u2019t like,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent \u2014 and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trump\u00a0was seemingly delighted by the news<\/a>, as he took to Truth Social to call the decision ‘great news for America’.<\/p>\n
