Ted Nugent has once again shared his thoughts on Jimmy Kimmel’s show being taken off air. Nugent previously said that he is in favor of Kimmel being taken off the air over his controversial remarks about Charlie Kirk.
ABC pulled late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off air indefinitely after his comments about the shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” a spokesperson for the Disney-owned network stated in a statement. Kimmel said during his show that the “Maga gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s assassination.
The suspension came just hours after Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr threatened to act against Disney and ABC over Kimmel’s remarks.
Ted Nugent remains vocal
In a new X post, Nugent slammed people who are upset with Kimmel’s show being taken off air than being concerned about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Nugent previously shared his opinion on Charlie Kirk’s killer, citing past assassins like John Wilkes Boothe, who killed President Abraham Lincoln, “A little under ninety days after President Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865, four of John Wilkes Booth’s co-conspirators — Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold, and George Atzerodt — were publicly hanged on July 7, 1865. Some 1,000 people attended the hanging.
With all the myriad appeals available to killers convicted of first degree murder in today’s modern world, it can now take decades to execute a killer. In fact, more first degree murderers die of old age in prison than are executed.
Reasonable people believe taking decades — if ever — to execute the most heinous of murderers is too long, especially when the evidence is unequivocal the killer is guilty.”
