Kimmel, who typically records his show Monday through Thursday at 4:30 p.m. PST, has rarely missed a broadcast in his 22 years behind the desk. But this marks the second sudden disappearance in recent months.

In September, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” was briefly suspended after Kimmel unleashed an anti-Trump rant, accusing “the MAGA gang” of trying to “characterize a murder suspect as anything other than one of them” after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said on Sept. 15.

Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group said after the episode aired that they would pull the program from dozens of ABC affiliates, citing Kimmel’s comments as “ill-timed and insensitive.”
