The View focused on thoughtful conversations | TV Shows

The “indefinite” suspension of Jimmy Kimmel has rocked late-night TV world, but the co-hosts of The View, who have never been shy about voicing their opinions, have remained silent on the matter two days in a row now.

On September 17, ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air, hours after the top of the FCC steered the community’s broadcast license was in jeopardy because of Kimmel’s feedback about Charlie Kirk during his opening monologue for Monday evening’s show.

During the next day’s episode of the day-time speak show, Whoopi Goldgerg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin ignored the developments at their company and instead opened with a celebration of Haines’ birthday.

Haines, Hostin, Behar, and Griffin once again didn’t talk about Kimmel during the September 19 broadcast.

However, amid stories of behind the scenes “chaos” at The View, a source has told People that is “false.”

“There is no chaos at the show,” the source said. “As always, the team is focused on doing the job of producing a daily talk show and having thoughtful conversations at the table.”

In his feedback on the Monday episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel steered that Tyler Robinson, the person accused of fatally capturing Kirk at his Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10, was “one of” President Donald Trump‘s MAGA — Make America Great Again — motion.

After Carr’s statements, Nexstar Media Group Inc. said it will stop airing Kimmel’s show on its ABC associates due to his “offensive and insensitive” statements.

ABC announced the suspension soon after. “Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesman announced Wednesday evening.

After the announcement, the broadcasting company Sinclair told Kimmel that in order for Jimmy Kimmel Live! to return to ABC, he must “issue a direct apology to the Kirk family” and make a “meaningful personal donation” to both Kirk’s household and his nonprofit, Turning Point USA.

On September 18, Carr also hinted that The View could also be seemed at in regards to the FCC’s equal alternative rule.

“There’s an exception to that rule called the bona fide news exception, which means if you are a bona fide news program, you don’t have to abide by the equal opportunity rule,” Carr said on The Scott Jennings Radio Show.

“I think it’s worthwhile to have the FCC look into whether The View and some of the programs that you have still qualify as bona fide news programs and therefore exempt from the equal opportunity regime that Congress has put in place.”

Nexstar Media, which owns and operates more than 200 local tv stations across 116 U.S. markets, issued a assertion to People that said it “strongly objects” to Kimmel’s feedback on Kirk.

The group added that permitting Jimmy Kimmel Live! to continue airing is “not in the public interest at the current time.”

Most of Kimmel’s fellow late-night hosts have shown him help, including Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Jay Leno, and David Letterman.

While showing at the Atlantic Festival on Sept. 18, Letterman expressed his anger over ABC’s resolution, condemning them for “sucking up to a criminal administration.”

Colbert called ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel under strain from Trump’s Federal Communications Commission chairman, “blatant censorship.”
