Brendan Carr FCC chairman Jimmy Kimmel.

ABC has taken Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show off the air indefinitely. The decision came hours after FCC chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination as “truly sick.” President Donald Trump appointed Carr to head the Federal Communications Commission in November. The FCC regulates broadcasting, telecommunications and broadband. Carr was already a longtime member of the commission and served previously as the FCC’s general counsel. He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate three times and both Trump and President Joe Biden nominated him. He has also worked as an attorney at Wiley Rein LLP and clerked on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
