Jimmy Kimmel, a US broadcaster, addressed the tragic shooting of prominent right-wing activist and influencer Charlie Kirk on his late-night show. Kirk was fatally shot last Wednesday during an appearance on a university campus in Utah.

The shooting was allegedly committed by 22-year-old Tyler R., who has since been arrested and charged with murder by the District Attorney. The authorities also reported that the shooting occurred from a rooftop.

In his show, Kimmel stated that the MAGA crowd, supporters of the Make America Great Again movement backed by President Donald Trump, tried to portray the killer as not one of their own. He also mentioned that the MAGA crowd attempted to capitalize on Kirk's assassination politically.

Contrary to reports, as of the information provided, only CBS's "Late Show" with Stephen Colbert has been cancelled, not Kimmel's show. However, ABC has announced the cancellation of "Late Show" next year, a purely financial decision according to CBS. No successor for Kimmel's late-night show has been announced for August 2023, with the show being temporarily suspended due to political tensions and criticism of Kimmel's comments.

Stephen Miller, a prominent figure in the Trump administration, has announced that the government will dismantle the "domestic terror movement" behind Kirk's assassin. The Trump-critical satirist Stephen Colbert hosts CBS's "Late Show".

Kirk was considered one of the most influential right-wing activists among the youth. His shooting has sparked widespread condemnation and calls for action against violence and extremism. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
