Conan O\u2019Brien has spoken out following ABC\u2019s decision to indefinitely suspend<\/a> his fellow comedian, Jimmy Kimmel. According to the former late night host, the move should \u201cdisturb everyone,\u201d regardless of political affiliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspension of Jimmy Kimmel and the promise to silence other Late Night hosts for criticizing the administration should disturb everyone on the Right, Left and Center,\u201d O\u2019Brien shared on X<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s wrong and anyone with a conscience knows it\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kimmel was suspended on Wednesday after affiliate owners Nexstar and Sinclair revealed they were pulling \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d off the air<\/a> due to host\u2019s Monday coverage of the Charlie Kirk assassination.<\/p>\n

Since then, late night veterans like Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, David Letterman and Stephen Colbert have all condemned Disney and the network<\/a> for allowing President Donald Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to seemingly meddle in their programming decisions.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Brien himself has had a rocky relationship with the broadcast networks in the past, albeit for less politically motivated reasons. The 2025 Oscars host<\/a> first had \u201cLate Night with Conan O\u2019Brien\u201d on NBC from 1993 to 2009 before he was bumped up to \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d in \u201909. However, the network ended up bringing Jay Leno back to the timeslot that same season and O\u2019Brien instead was left to host \u201cConan\u201d on TBS from 2010 through 2021.<\/p>\n

There is currently no set return date for \u201cJKL\u201d after it was \u201c\u201cpre-empted indefinitely,\u201d but the late night show has not been canceled.<\/p>\n
