Jimmy Kimmel Live!, long a staple of late-night television, has entertained audiences with its mix of celebrity interviews, comedy, and biting political satire. Over two decades, Jimmy Kimmel became one of television’s most enduring hosts, navigating the show through pandemics, controversies, and shifting timeslots. Recently, ABC stunned fans by suspending the program indefinitely following Kimmel’s remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death, leaving viewers shocked.

The cancellation rippled through pop culture, and now fans are turning to Eminem, curious to know what he said.

An Instagram post recently circulated, claiming that Eminem declared, “I’ve built a career on saying what I want, even when people hated it,” suggesting that the rapper is taking a stand in response to Jimmy Kimmel’s ABC show cancellation. Fans quickly ran with the idea, creating rap songs and social media chatter implying that Eminem had weighed in on the controversy. However, this speculation is completely unfounded; none of it is true, as Eminem has not commented on the situation in any way.

Jimmy Kimmel addressed Charlie Kirk’s death on Monday night, prompting widespread outrage that led Nexstar to pull his show and Sinclair to replace the slot with a special remembrance program. FCC Chair Brendan Carr strongly criticized the remarks and demanded action. Fans speculated about reactions from various celebrities, and while the story circulated widely online, Eminem did not comment on the situation, though Bill Maher did publicly weigh in with his perspective.

Bill Maher stepped in for Jimmy Kimmel, blasting ABC for the suspension while recalling his own network firing, proving late-night is never short on drama and unapologetic takes.

On Friday night’s episode of HBO’s Real Time, Bill Maher publicly defended Jimmy Kimmel following ABC’s suspension of his late-night show. Maher criticized the Disney-owned network for its handling of Kimmel’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s death while reflecting on his own past, recalling how ABC canceled his “politically incorrect” remarks about 9/11. Maher emphasized his solidarity with Kimmel, expressing support and highlighting the silver lining of no longer needing to appease the network. His monologue blended sharp humor with pointed commentary.

In a twist that has fans buzzing over who might fill his shoes, Bill Maher threw his weight behind Jimmy Kimmel, saying, “Jimmy, pal, I am with you, I support you." Maher joked that the network stands for “Always Be Caving." While Maher offered solidarity and sharp humor, not everyone shared the love, Eminem notably stayed silent, leaving the internet to speculate whether Kimmel’s comeback will be smoother than Maher’s past misadventures.
