President Trump seems determined to get Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

First came the pressure applied by Trump administration officials on FCC chairman (and Trump loyalist) Brendan Carr over a crack Kimmel had made on his late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” criticizing the MAGA reaction to Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
