ABC announced it is "indefinitely" pre-empting its popular late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" over comments Kimmel made regarding the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. CBS News' Jonathan Vigliotti reports.
Mr. Kimmel faced criticism from the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission for remarks about the politics of the man who is accused of killing Mr. Kirk, the conservative activist.
The late-night host criticised the Republican response to the killing and his suspension came after pressure from the regulator.
ABC's announcement came as media giants Nexstar and Sinclair announced they would preempt Jimmy Kimmel's show indefinitely on all their stations over his remarks.
