Fans protest after ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel's show off the air

Fans gathered outside the El Capitan Entertainment Center on Wednesday, September 17, after ABC said it was pulling "Jimmy Kimmel Live" off the air, after comments by the late-night show's host about the assassination of Charlie Kirk triggered a threat by the head of the top U.S. communications regulator against Disney.

President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly pressured broadcasters to stop airing content he has found objectionable and called on the Federal Communications Commission to pull licenses from stations, celebrated the news in a social media post.

A number of Democratic lawmakers assailed the decision, saying that free speech was under attack.
