Following Kimmel's suspension, a specific segment on 'The View' has experienced a period of silence
In a series of events that have kept the media abuzz, the war of words between President Trump and ABC's daytime talk show 'The View' has reached new heights. The latest controversy revolves around the suspension of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', a decision that has sparked widespread condemnation in entertainment circles.
The suspension of Kimmel's show followed his comments about slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk during a monologue on his show. This move has been met with criticism from late-night hosts such as Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jon Stewart, who have expressed their disapproval of ABC's decision.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has indicated that 'The View' might also be investigated to see if it qualifies as a bona fide news program. This suggestion comes amidst the conspicuous silence from 'The View' regarding the suspension of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'.
The absence of commentary from 'The View' since the news about Kimmel broke has been particularly glaring. MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace has called out this silence, adding to the growing criticism.
The producers of 'The View', including Brian Teta as executive producer and Robin Hommel-Tenenbaum as executive broadcast producer, have not made any official statements regarding the matter. Sarah de la O serves as the director of the show, while Whoopi Goldberg, a long-time host since 2007, is not listed as the producer.
The controversy between Trump and 'The View' has a long history. During a campaign rally last year, Trump called the hosts 'dumb' and said he had never hired Goldberg again due to her 'filthy' mouth. In response, Goldberg and her co-hosts on 'The View' addressed Trump's comments during their show.
Sunny Hostin, a co-host and senior ABC News legal correspondent on 'The View', thanked Trump for providing them with material and keeping people like her in business. In a surprising turn of events, Hostin even invited Trump to come on 'The View' and offered him a free 'View' mug.
However, the relationship between Trump and 'The View' took a turn for the worse when Trump fired back at co-host Joy Behar in a statement. This exchange has been a part of an ongoing feud between the two parties.
The network's action has sparked major protests from SAG-AFTRA, WGA, and other entertainment circles. Michael Eisner, former CEO of The Walt Disney Company, has joined writers in criticizing Disney for benching Jimmy Kimmel.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how 'The View' will respond to the ongoing controversy and the investigations by the FCC.
