US EditionEx-Disney CEO Michael Eisner Slams Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Questions Free Speech: ‘Where Has All the Leadership Gone?’
Chris Cuomo defends ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, emphasizing it as a private business decision to prevent misinformation and comply with FCC broadcast regulations.
- On Wednesday, Disney-owned ABC suspended `Jimmy Kimmel Live!` indefinitely following Nexstar Media Group's preemption and regulatory warnings.
- Against the FCC's regulatory backdrop, Jimmy Kimmel's September 16 monologue suggested the MAGA gang tried to spin Charlie Kirk's killing, citing FCC rule 47 CFR §73.1217.
- Union members and industry figures protested, with more than 100 Writers Guild of America East members in Lower Manhattan and over 300 actors and writers in Burbank on September 18, while Michael Eisner, former Walt Disney Company CEO, called it `out-of-control intimidation`.
- Kimmel remains off the air, with his future uncertain amid discussions with Disney executives and regulatory pressures tied to Nexstar Media Group's $6.2 billion acquisition of Tegna reaching nearly 80% of U.S. households.
- Cuomo framed the matter as a brand protection decision, saying the suspension is a private business move absent government coercion, urging skeptics to "show me the evidence".
