  • The hosts of “The View” didn’t discuss the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show on Thursday.
  • ABC suspended Kimmel’s show “indefinitely” following his comments about Charlie Kirk’s death.
  • Fans of “The View” expressed surprise that the show didn’t address Kimmel’s suspension.

The hosts of “The View” did not weigh in on ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show following comments the host made about Charlie Kirk’s death, surprising some viewers.

On Thursday’s broadcast of “The View,” which airs on the same network as “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin discussed two news events during its “Hot Topics” segment: FBI director Kash Patel’s handling of the Epstein Files, and RFK Jr. testifying before the CDC.

They also discussed whether breakups can lead to long-term relationships, and conducted two interviews — the first with Eugene Levy and the second with Terry and Tammy Bradshaw.

The show’s hosts notably did not discuss Kimmel’s suspension in its “Hot Topics” segment or at any other point during the show.

‘The View’ watchers expressed surprise over the “Hot Topic” table skipping Kimmel

On social media, fans of the show expressed surprise at the omission, as “The View” is known for tackling heavy and controversial news events.

“Is The View just going to pretend the Jimmy Kimmel stuff isn’t happening?” one person wrote on X.

Many also said they were disappointed in the show’s hosts for not sharing their thoughts, as hosts including Goldberg and Hostin have regularly urged figures with large platforms to speak out on pressing issues. Some even speculated that the show’s cast was urged not to speak about Kimmel or his show.

Representatives for “The View” and ABC did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Why Kimmel was yanked off the air

ABC suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Wednesday after a segment on Charlie Kirk’s death prompted threats from FCC chair Brendan Carr.

On Monday’s episode of the late-night show, Kimmel lambasted President Donald Trump and “the MAGA gang” for “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.”

On Wednesday, Carr called Kimmel’s comments “the sickest conduct possible” and threatened ABC in an interview with right-wing political commentator and YouTuber Benny Johnson, saying that “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.”

Hours later, Nexstar, a company that owns ABC affiliates and is awaiting FCC approval for a $6.2 billion acquisition deal, announced that it would pull Kimmel’s show from its stations.

An ABC spokesperson also confirmed to Business Insider that the network had suspended Kimmel’s late-night show “indefinitely.”

While the current hosts of “The View” didn’t address the network’s decision, former host Rosie O’Donnell was among numerous celebrities who expressed support for Kimmel, calling his suspension “unacceptable.”
