What Happened the Day Jimmy Kimmel Got Suspended?
Jimmy Kimmel gave a play-by-play of how he got suspended.
Kimmel appeared on Colbert’s show on September 30 and gave a play-by-play of what happened when his show was pulled from the air “indefinitely.”
“Do you want to hear the whole thing?” Kimmel asked Colbert.
“It was around 3 o’clock, we tape our show at 4:30. I'm in my office typing away — as I usually do. I get a phone call. It's ABC. They say they want to talk to me,” he shared.
The late-night show host claimed it was "unusual."
ABC Decided to 'Take the Show Off the Air'
Jimmy Kimmel appeared on Stephen Colbert's show on September 30.
"As far as I knew, they didn’t even know I was doing a show previous to this. I have, like, five people who work in my office with me, so the only private place to go is the bathroom," he continued.
Upon entering the bathroom, he got on the phone with ABC executives.
"They say, ‘Listen, we want to take the temperature down. We're concerned about what you're going to say tonight, and we’ve decided that the best route is to take the show off the air,'" he shared.
Audience Members Were in Their Seats When Jimmy Kimmel's Show Was Pulled
Jimmy Kimmel got a call from ABC executives who voted to pull his show from the air.
When the audience booed, Kimmel admitted that’s what he was doing when given the news. He then told the network executives he didn’t think pulling the show was a good idea who, in turn, voted and went forward with taking it off.
He then went back to his office and informed his executive producers about the show being pulled. Audience members were already in their seats for the taping and had to be told to go home.

Jimmy Kimmel said he was 'shaken' when he returned home after his show was suspended.
"I'm followed by 20 paparazzi cars, TMZ, people jumping in front of me on the way home. We’re just trying to get to the house. … There were two helicopters flying over,” he said. “We get to the house and we’re shaken. The kids are up — our daughter is 11 years old and says, ‘I can sell my Labubus.’ It was very sweet. Our son just got naked and started running around the house.”
In the days that followed, Kimmel said he felt like he was in “jail” and he couldn’t make any statements but was on a lot of calls.
Kimmel’s show was initially suspended on September 17 after he discussed Charlie Kirk’s death.
While it was called an “indefinite” suspension, ABC decided a few days later it could return to the air.
