Protesters gather outside Disney studios, LA theater in support for Jimmy Kimmel
Jimmy Kimmel supporters gather outside Disney studios in Burbank and the El Capitan Entertainment Centre on Sept. 18, 2025 to protest ABC's decision to suspend his late-night show. Kimmel's remarks about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk had angered many, and the reaction reached a fever pitch on Sept. 17, including death threats that raised concerns for the safety of Kimmel and his staff, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. His supporters say Kimmel said nothing wrong and blamed ABC and Disney for censorship, calling the decision to take him off the air an attack on freedom of speech. As the show's 4:30 p.m. taping time approached, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment co-Chairman Dana Walden agreed that the best approach would be to take the show off the air and later find a way to bring Kimmel back, the source said. Walden informed Kimmel of the decision.
