ABC Faces Questions After Jimmy Kimmel’s Show Pulled Post-Trump And Melania Commentary

Jimmy Kimmel's followers anticipated a fresh monologue on Thursday night, complete with guest appearances from David Duchovny, Joe Keery, and Madison Beer. Instead, ABC opted to re-broadcast the October 28 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" featuring Tessa Thompson, Daymond John, and The Beths, leaving viewers puzzled by the abrupt decision.This change coincided with Kimmel's recent joke about Donald Trump, which included a pointed remark about Melania Trump, prompting speculation regarding possible retaliation. Fans are questioning whether the show’s cancellation was an indirect response from the president, especially after Kimmel faced a suspension earlier this year.Grammy-nominated artist Beer announced on Instagram that her performance would be rescheduled due to "unforeseen circumstances," yet did not elaborate on the network’s programming adjustment. Reports suggest the unexpected airing was linked to a "personal matter," igniting further debate about Trump's influence over the show.
